China Open lives up to its spectacular billing

Along with quality family time and exploring historic sites, the perfect way to savor Beijing during the National Day holiday was by attending the China Open.

The local organizer described the biggest combined WTA and ATP tournament in Asia as "mustsee" entertainment, particularly for fans of the new crop of young superstars.

"We can see the fans' recognition towards our tournament," said Chen Jie, deputy director of Beijing Municipal Bureau of Sports.
