Beijing – Quiet Everyday Street Life

Beijing is one of the largest cities in the world growing steadily with an increasing number of skyscrapers, businesses, cars, people and bustle. The many impressions can be overwhelming. As a visitor, I then searched for the quiet streets behind the facades and met people and stories of everyday life that I could recognize from other urban landscapes. Neighborhoods where time apparently moved slowly and the rhythm of generational experiences repeated. As a stranger I almost felt at home.
