the Beijinger

The Sanlitun Fall 2008 Area Guide, distributed with the October issue of the Beijinger, brings you more bun-related options than ever, from Beijing’s fanciest burger at 25 Degrees to the astoundingly delightful RMB 15 hot dog at No More Bunz. Of course, it also has less-carnivorous options to offer. While the Pure Girls are no more, the detailed “Central Sanlitun” inset will guide those in search of cheap booze to the nearest watering hole. A map of the Sanlitun Village helps dazed shoppers to wander from China’s first Apple Store to some great restaurants and cafes to rest their weary feet. Other additions include modern South-American cuisine at Mosto, professional-quality cooking supplies and kitchen gadgets at Pantry Magic, new boutiques, and the new location of Gustomenta. There’s also a slew of new hotels in Sanlitun, from budget digs to the sleek Opposite House – just because the Olympics are over, it doesn’t mean we’ll stop welcoming friends and family from afar.
