16 million people. 35 photographers. One extraordinary night. From dusk to dawn on August 8-9 2007, exactly one year before the start of the 2008 Olympic Games, 35 of Beijing's most talented photographers fanned out across the city. Their mission: To create a composite portrait of the buzzing metropolis and its incomparable residents. Collected in this handsome book, their photographs capture the beauty, energy, faces, and fleeting possibilities of one night in Beijing: from the official 'festival of jubilation' in Tian'anmen Square to a gathering in an old courtyard home, and from late night in a tattoo parlor to breakfast in a Buddhist nunnery. From place to place, moment to moment, photographer to photographer immerse yourself in the colors, character and élan of One Night in Beijing.
