Well, wonder no more! These days, weekend long music festivals are becoming more and more common in China. In Beijing alone, over the May Day (\u4e94\u4e00) holiday, there are three festivals.

Next week, I&#8217;ll preview the big May Day festivals in Beijing, but to hold you over, here&#8217;s a highlight video of our trip out to the In Festival last summer.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"595\" height=\"335\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UbNZ8kNfJ7g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen title=\"Embedded video\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever wondered what it&#8217;s like to go to a camping music festival in the grasslands of China?
