World Film Locations - Beijing

The title of Li Yu's film Lost in Beijing evokes the experience of many first-time visitors to China's bustling capital. The city's sprawling structure and rapid redevelopment - embodied by the high-rise apartments taking over historic districts - render Beijing's streets hard to navigate and its culture is just as difficult to penetrate. World Film Locations: Beijing is a revealing and engrossing introduction to both.
