Stunning: (Left) Moy captures the elegance of the model in front of the Temple of Heavens in this photograph. (Top) This photo features a stretch of the age-old Great Wall starkly juxtaposed with a Western model in a striking oriental-themed dress.

IT IS easy to find reasons to complain about Beijing — the poisonous air and the grey skies top the list, anytime — but through the lens of a fellow Malaysian, Moy Yew Meng, I was reminded once again of its distinctive charm that first drew me to the Chinese capital.

Moy, 42, relocated to Beijing with his family in 2012 when his wife was offered a job here.
