We all know that summer is here… I mean we can feel it!
Many Chinese cities temperatures have reached over 30℃!
Walking down the street, you’ll see the older generation loudly jostling over Mahjong tiles, dancing in the square, and children running in the park. But a sight I’m sure you’ve seen that isn’t exactly the most pleasant is grown men’s bellies. Yes, you know what we’re talking about…shirts rolled up over their big bellies.
This “Beijing Belly” is used to describe these men who use this “technique” to cool down in the summers.
One user uploaded photos to Reddit after her trip to China one summer. She captioned it, “have you ever seen a Chinese person roll up their T-shirt?”
Below are other images she uploaded:
Netizens later named them “Beijing Bikini” and her photos spread like wildfire over social media.
The hashtag #BeijingBikiniChallenge became HUGE on social media around the world.

Some foreigners echoed, “Beijing bikini is not just for Beijing men!”
Do you think this will be the next fashion trend?

Wow, those abs.
What do you think about this?
Are you too shy to show off your gut or do you have abs of steel to show off?
