by Iain Shaw The latest issue of agenda takes us through to the beginning of July, and August's big event looms ever larger over Beijing. With one month still remaining before the city goes nuts for a few weeks, there's no shortage of things going on, and we've got the best of the next two weeks of events in our Day-by-Day listings. Our cover feature is a look inside the out-of-town Crown Wine Cellar and an interview with the venue's GM, James E. Thompson. We also talk to Royal Restaurant boss Ni Xiaopei on eating like the emperors, and take some spa tips from Aye Mon Yee of the Heavenly Spa at The Westin Chaoyang, which opened last Saturday. Other features include lists covering the best of Sanlitun nightlife, eating Southeast Asian-style in Beijing, some choice out-of-town daytrips, and our picks of Beijing's best dining and shopping venues in Try These. Let us know what you think! Get in touch with your comments and suggestions by e-mailing iainshaw@agendabeijing.com[...] Read more! ...full story at The Beijinger
