We got much more than  that, as from the moment we landed Mr Tian orchestrated a full on spectacle complete with an 8 hr  wedding  extravaganza featuring every major Chinese fashion force including Vogue China&#8217;s editor-in-chief <strong>Angelica Cheung<\/strong> (our table mate at the wedding dinner). Add to that a live Chinese opera performance, awe inspiring trips to The Forbidden City and the Great Wall of China as well as a survey of modern Beijing&#8217;s architectural landmarks such as the CCTV building and Bird Nest stadium, and the extensive art district&#8217;s modern art galleries and what you have was a high velocity tour through one of the the world&#8217;s most exciting cities. It is clear that Beijing is ready to stake its place on the fashion map. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
