The December issue of the Beijinger is now available electronically, and shortly in print! To end 2014, we wanted to look at some of Beijing’s most interesting people. Interesting because they have somehow changed the way we live in Beijing, through art, food, design, drink, or music. This year they showed us something different or new about our city, and we like to think we know quite about this city of ours. You may not have heard of all of them, but you may know their deeds and works better than the people. See who was included in this year’s list and let us know if we overlooked anyone particularly deserving. 
 
Elsewhere in this issue, it’s that other time of the year: for skiing. This past winter saw few flakes fall on Beijing, but a more wintry winter is predicted. Check our ski guide to find the snow closest to Beijing, and ski where Olympians may soon swoosh if the city’s 2022 Olympic bid is successful. Try some warm beverages from our Drinks Feature to fire up your nights, and our Events calendar offers a guide to all of the holiday revelry.
