The Sounds of Beijing

NPR story on the unique sounds of old Beijing. Interesting, especially if you haven't been to Beijing. :mrgreen:

As the article says, a lot of these sounds might be lost because people now shop in malls, on the internet, and are "lost in supermarkets", as the Clash might say.

It reminds me of another NPR story on the death of the unique sound tabacco auctions in the US.
