Disoriented in the Orient
Discover the Hidden Gems of the City
The game will make people discover and explore.
Once you start paying attention, find traces of Qing dynasty architecture, from Republican Era tea houses to ornaments smashed up by the Red Guards during the Cultural Revolution, all within the fascinating Dashilar neighborhood.
The Many Layers of Beijing History
The concept of the game is to give people an idea of the multilayered history of Beijing through the area of Dashilar.
In a condensed and entertaining way, we wish to make the participants discover the history of Beijing from street level.
All of the tasks are rooted in BeijingPostcards' research.
Interact with Locals
Through games and quiz, we will engage the participants with the neighbors we have worked with our ongoing Oral History Project.
Working Together to Compete in the Competition
The participants will work together in small groups, and complete the tasks within an allotted time frame. The winning team get prizes related to the task they have accomplished!
Archival Research and Other First Hand Sources
We will utilize original photos and maps from our own collection and share how we collect and verify historical knowledge.
