Interview: “Telling the story of the waterways,” Radio Beijing AM774

The final part of my conversation with Bruce Connolly of Radio Beijing AM774 on the renovation of the Jade River and the canal system of Beijing. Also check out my post for The Beijinger on the canals, “A Stroll Along Beijing’s Restored Canal System and the Ongoing Plan to Revive its Ancient Waterways.”
