The ShermansTravel Beijing Insider Gives Travelers the Buzz beyond ‘The Bird’s Nest’

NEW YORK, Aug. 8 /PRNewswire/ — ShermansTravel.com has launched the Beijing Insider (http://beijinginsider.blogs.shermanstravel.com/), the ultimate Olympic blog covering all of Beijing’s buzz-worthy news from beyond the Olympic Games. The Beijing Insider (http://beijinginsider.blogs.shermanstravel.com/) will be updated twice daily by China expert Gary Bowerman, a local writer who’ll be dishing insider information on China’s capital city and its cultural diversions, the latest celebrity sightings, the city’s new shopping district, entertainment, restaurants, and nightlife — basically, everything making news outside the Olympic stadium.

“Whether you’re traveling in Beijing or just want to feel like you’re there during the Olympic Games, you’ll want to check out our Beijing Insider (http://beijinginsider.blogs.shermanstravel.com/) every day for the next two weeks,” said Arabella Bowen, Vice President of Editorial, ShermansTravel Media. “Our new blog is for those who want inside information on what’s generating the real buzz in Beijing right now. If you’re looking to see how many gold medals swimmer Michael Phelps has won or how LeBron James and other NBA all-stars are doing in the basketball competition, you can tune into the local news,” she added.

ShermansTravel Media pegged Gary Bowerman as their on-the-ground Beijing expert as he’s been covering China since 2004 from both lifestyle and business perspectives. When he’s not posting updates on Beijing Insider (http://beijinginsider.blogs.shermanstravel.com/), he serves as the editor of BizChinaUpdate.com, is the resident co-editor of ZAGAT Shanghai Restaurants & Hotels Guide, and resident editor for LUXE Guide Shanghai. He is also founding partner of Scribes of the Orient, an online China travel and lifestyle publisher.
