The Night Life of Sanlitun
If you're looking to unwind at night in Beijing, you might try the many small international cafes and bars that are hidden away on the avenues and sidestreets of the Sanlitun embassy district. There's quite a swinging scene going on here, and a decided absence of karaoke.
Beijing Beer Hunter
Revulsion against the nation's traditionally weak and insipid brews has made in-house breweries all the rage in America. Beijing's lovers of fine ales can rejoice that this trend has arrived here ...

She knew she could do something interesting with this relic of Chairman Mao's enthusiasm for going underground in the fight against imperialism. Perhaps the Helmsman would have considered drinking ...

However, my 17-year old son insists that it is legal for him and his friends to go to the Bar Street in San Li Tun and order alcohol. Does China have any laws on alcohol consumption or control, and, if so, what are they?
