Architects Guiding in China

Architects Guiding in China CHIARC SIGHTS for architectural guided tours by architects, architectural historians and writers. Any of our tours is different.

We guide to a wide range of places of diverse interest. This may involve longer walks, bike rides and public bus or subway within downtown. Shanghai's hinterland can be reached by car/coach or train. Please inquire for programme details of tours guided by architects in Beijing and Hongkong.

In Beijing alone there are over 9,000 yuan billionaires, and although it is notoriously difficult to get data on the number of households that live under the government poverty threshold of 2,300 Chinese yuan (US$ 365)or less per year, an estimated one million people live in a vast subterranean world of low-cost housing, attracting migrants known as “mice” who are driven underground by sky-high rents.
