Definitely a big city with lots of sights to see, culture, food, nightlife, and a very efficient railway system. It also has many of the sights which attracted me to China in the first place eg the Forbidden City, the Great Wall etc and has a lot to offer.

Beijing is one of the unique metropolitan in the world that offers everything you need. For you it is what you are! You like tasty food, here it is, you like traditional stuff, you got it. you are culture addict, yes it has, you like nightlife, of course its there, you like history, scattered all around Beijing, you name it and it has! If we say that China is full of history, culture, traditions, nature, technology, food etc. than let me say that Beijing represents complete China. And interestingly it is with lot of variety. Beijing is beautiful mix of modern and traditional touch. Life in Beijing is very fast but not boring. Beijing can absorb any type of person and it warmly welcome everyone. I welcome you here :) and feel free to ask about anything you are interested about Beijing.

I have lived in Beijing since January 2004. It is a great place to live as the people are friendly and there is always something to do or see. The Olympics obviously have been a highlight recently, but what has really come from it is clear skies (as when I came here there was much more pollution), modern facilities, and all the western conveniences you would have in any other city (even Vegemite for those Australians visiting!). There are so many employment opportunities for both foreigners and Chinese. I have no plans to move from here in the foreseeable future as it is a great, vibrant city to be in. If you have any questions feel free to ask!

Beijing is a nice city , i have lived there for 15 years and i loved it so much . people there are so kind and of course the food is fantastic . the most interesting thing there is you can find any places to go to any time 24 hours if you feel boring .

i have been in Beijing from 2005-2006. it is a great modern and open city. people here are polite and nice. i made many friends here. the job opportunities here are good too because the city is full of history, culture and modern as well, i think. every thing is active here, i love Beijing.
