I tripped across the blog for A Little Beijing recently. The idea is to have a different kind of travel guide. As the website states:
Based on a route less travelled, it is a seven-day tour to quaint places off the beaten track. The design of this publication stirs clear away from the conventional format of perfect-bound guides, and in the result of doing so, enables free and easy travel as well as journey documentation.
While the idea is gaining heavy praise from the design world, it’s a potentially very cool way to look at travel. Why take a giant book when you can take a basic route and stumble through a new place. I can only hope that additional cities are in store. I’d love to see a little New York or a little Montreal.
