The Midnight in Peking Late-Night Walking Tour – 13th September
Posted: September 6th, 2011 | No Comments »The good folk at Time Out in Beijing have roped me into this event that could be a lot of fun…and definitely ends with a drink!
Retrace the scenes from an unsolved murder investigation that took place in 1937!
Take part in an exclusive Time Out Beijing late night walk through Beijing’s old Legation Quarter through the major scenes of an unsolved muder!
One freezing January morning in 1937 in Peking, the body of brutally murdered young Briton Pamela Werner was found. It was an event that traumatised the city. She was discovered horrifically mutilated at the foot of Fox Tower, an ancient watchtower supposedly haunted by fox spirits. Almost seventy-five years after the murder, Paul French finally gives the case the resolution it has long been denied in his latest book, Midnight in Peking.
This will be a one-off event, giving you a chance to discover a different side to the city. Paul French, who’s new book Midnight in Peking is being launched during September, will be personally guiding you through areas of old Beijing, such as the ‘Badlands’ and the old Legation Quarter.
Time Out Beijing takes great pleasure in inviting you to this exclusive event, which will guide you through the final steps taken during Pamela’s last day, before ending the evening at Capital M for a well-deserved drink.
