Notes

"What is your favorite Beijing sound and why? During September 2005 hundreds of Beijingers were asked this question and their replies make up the tracks of this compact disc [...]
Set up by British Council as part of their Sounds in the city initiative that took place in Shanghai, Chongqing & Guangzhou [...]
The Favorite sound project aims to discover what people find positive about their city's soundscape. It started in London in 1998 and still continues there."
Peter Cusack - April 2007.

Also issued with the book entitled Sound and the city edited by Yan Jun & Louise Gray and published by Horizon Media (Beijing, China).
Supported by the Cultural and Education section of the British embassy.
