Welcome to Take Your Seat, Beijing!
Look for the director’s chair in every photograph: In Take Your Seat, Beijing, your ability to direct your choices of where to go, what to see, and how to become part of this incredible city is enhanced by the people, places, and human stories that make Beijing yours to discover…
Through this emotive collection of photographs and narratives both iconic and intimate, our chair now artfully shares The Peninsula Perspective on Beijing. Let the journey of a chair inspire you to direct your own!
