I recently stumbled across a series of videos known as “Sexy Beijing”. They’re produced by a company called goldmines film, which also makes other china-based short films. Here is an Episode of “Sexy Beijing” to wet your appetite:

As part of my Travel Guide series of articles, here is the first part of part one - introduction, why travel?
Introduction
Okay, so you’re reading this. I’m going to assume you have at least some vague interest in travel, reading about travel, or seeing the world. But what makes us interested in these things? What makes is want to see the world? To experience different cultures and meet new exciting people? The answer is different for all of us, but for me, it’s because it’s fun. It’s fun, it’s exciting, it’s interesting, it’s an experience. It’s not about the bragging rights of saying “Oh, I’ve been to x many countries”, it’s about the experience itself. The people you meet, the things you experience and see, are all what makes traveling worth while. Whilst sometimes those experiences and people can make traveling a boring old holiday, or an uneventful two weeks on the beach, they can also make it an adventure. Something that you’ll never forget and you’ll be telling your grandkids all about it when you’re 60 (in between spending your retirement to go and travel the world some more).
