201712/year-in-review-logo.jpgThose of us living in China might have been spared the tumultuous drama that our US counterparts have experienced in 2017, but like always, the Middle Kingdom has had its own fair share of attention-grabbing headlines. From the boom of shared bikes to a presidential visit from The Donald, our team has put together a list of 2017’s most unforgettable viral stories, recounting major events that defined the worlds of sports, tech, arts, fashion and food. Here’s to another year of eclectic, weird and wonderful life in China, we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Guangzhou saw no shortage of notable locations ‘bite the crust’ this year and, as 2017 draws to a close, it feels prudent to give these now defunct locations a nod of remembrance. In no particular order…

1. Tomatoes Pizzeria (Xingsheng Lu)

Too cheesy to survive.

2. Pandan Indonesian (Xingsheng Lu & Huanshi Dong Lu)

The city’s Southeast Asian food circuit now laksa certain something. 

3. Prism

From fine munchies to foot massages.
