I recently purchased a new concept in travel guides from the little Beijing blog. I think the idea of picking a random section of city to explore, rather than simply visiting sites to tick them off a list, is a much more interesting way to travel, opening you up to places you wouldn’t normally see in a guide book.
The idea is simple – a collection of postcards of sites and streets around Beijing, with maps and directions printed on the back. You can select by area (from the provided map) or simply chose a random selection and set off! Scrawl your ideas, thoughts or new discoveries on the back and either keep them or mail them home so you have a unique set of memories of your travels.
