This week, Peter Greenberg Worldwide comes to you from Beijing, China. Forget the typical guided tour—Beijing is where Peter goes (often in a sidecar) to get lost in zigzagging hutongs, to explore seven world heritage sites (including the Great Wall and the Forbidden City), to sample Peking Duck, and to ride the fastest train in the world.

Lee Williamson, Editor of Time Out Beijing, talks about the Great Leap Forward, Caroline Killmer, managing editor of City Weekend, tells us where to find the best non-Chinese Asian food, and Michael Tsai, co-owner of L.A. Palms Kitchen and Bar, explains why Korean and Mexican cuisines are such a good match for each other—in Beijing.

Check out this week’s guest list, listen to the latest all-local podcast, and stream the full show below.
