Features: Let this book take you beyond the facade of cities you've grown tired of and reveal a landscape that's aged but still brimming with vitality.
Beijing, this city, has witnessed the rise and fall of dynasties and accumulated generations of heritage, like a meticulously brewed wine aged for three millennia, exuding a rich cultural aroma that is utterly enchanting.
Beijing, with its intricate network of hutongs and secluded courtyards, is like a heavy tome, each page filled with countless stories that never fail to engage readers for a lifetime.
The book is illustrated with visuals, creating a harmonious and complementary effect. What makes it particularly special is that all the photographs are shot by the author in person; every portrait sketch and quick sketch of former residences are hand-drawn by the author.
Additionally, he applies modern computer technology to the drawing and processing of images, fully showcasing his multifaceted talents. This is also a distinctive feature that sets the book apart from other works.
I believe that every reader who explores this book will feel deeply moved and develop a desire to visit the famous former residences featured within.
