Hi! My name is Shannon and I'm an Australian living in Beijing. I've been here for 9 years and worked in a variety of jobs - all touching on the food and life here in some shape or form. I am the author of "Living Abroad in Beijing" (Moon Guidebooks) and have been leading food tours here now for more than two years. I believe to really visit Beijing you need to eat its food just how the locals do, and to come to understand how the cuisine varies across the country - and especially from the Chinese food you're probably used to in your home country.
