In one of Beijing's narrow hutongs (alleyways), a compact gray and red Mini Cooper shares sidewalk space with four rental bikes, two of which are bright yellow, and two of which are sky blue. The car's color scheme matches the facade of the one-story building behind it: the building's stuccoed facade is painted gray, and its double-wide wooden door is bright red. Next to the door is a temporary partition - which appears to be obscuring a construction site - in shades of aqua, dark green, and white, featuring environmental-protection slogans.
