Our plans to sneak spicy peppers into zongzi for Dragonboat festival were foiled by a second outbreak of COVID-19. Thankfully, the storm has calmed, and while there may not be as much sticky rice, there will certainly be plenty of spice and everything nice (may it not be postponed twice!), allowing you to enjoy three full days of delicious food, live entertainment, and mixing with Beijing’s vibrant expat community.
