City Guide
About Beijing
City Overview
Beijing, abbreviated as "Jing", is the capital of the People’s Republic of China and serves as the nation’s political, cultural, international-exchange and technological-innovation center. It lies in the northern part of the North China Plain.
Getting There
Beijing is served by two international airports — Beijing Capital International Airport and Beijing Daxing International Airport — plus major railway hubs such as Beijing, Beijing South, Beijing West, Beijing North, Beijing Chaoyang and Beijing Fengtai stations. High-speed rail reaches major cities nationwide, and the metro network is among the largest in the world.
Geography
Beijing is located at 39°56′N, 116°20′E, covering about 16,410 square kilometres. The terrain is higher in the northwest and lower in the southeast; mountains surround the west, north and northeast, while the southeast opens to the North China Plain sloping toward the Bohai Sea. Mountains make up about 62% of the area.
Environment
Beijing has a warm temperate, semi-humid continental monsoon climate with four distinct seasons — hot, rainy summers and cold, dry winters. The annual average temperature is about 11–14°C, with roughly 75% of precipitation in summer (July–August). Urban greening continues to expand, including the Olympic Forest Park and city greenways.
Local Customs
Beijing has long been a crossroads of cultures; hutongs and siheyuan courtyards preserve the urban fabric of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. Peking Opera, xiangsheng (comic dialogue), the 24 Solar Terms and the Beijing Central Axis are inscribed as intangible cultural heritage or World Heritage. Locals are known for warmth, courtesy and a strong sense of "juqi" (straightforward camaraderie).
History & Culture
With a history of over 3,000 years, Beijing began as a city in the Western Zhou as the capital of Yan (c. 11th century BC). It later served as the capital of the Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. Since 1987, the Forbidden City, the Great Wall and others have been inscribed as World Heritage. Beijing is the world’s only "Dual-Olympic City" (Summer 2008, Winter 2022).
Industry & Agriculture
Beijing’s economy is dominated by the tertiary sector: its GDP reached about 5.21 trillion yuan in 2025, with services accounting for roughly 86%. Key industries include information technology, AI, biomedicine, finance, tech services and cultural creativity; manufacturing is upgrading toward high-end, precision sectors such as integrated circuits and smart manufacturing.
Local Specialties
Beijing is rich in time-honoured brands and local products: Quanjude roast duck, Daoxiangcun pastries, Liubiju pickles, Tongrentang traditional medicine, cloisonné (jingtailan) enamelware, Beijing silk figurines and Neiliansheng cloth shoes. Notable fruits include Jingbai pears and Pinggu peaches.
Attractions
Must-see sights include the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, the Temple of Heaven, the Summer Palace, Beihai Park, the Ming Tombs, the Badaling and Mutianyu sections of the Great Wall, and the Zhoukoudian Peking Man Site. Modern landmarks include the Olympic Park, Sanlitun, Gubei Water Town and the Grand Canal Forest Park.
Foreign Investment Env.
Beijing is a key gateway for foreign investment in China, positioned as an international-exchange and technological-innovation center. Foreign-invested enterprises can turn to municipal investment-promotion services (e.g., the Beijing Investment Promotion Service Center and the "Invest Beijing" platform) for policy, site-selection and settling-in support. Priority is given to technology, finance, culture, healthcare and similar sectors. Specific market access and treatment follow the latest national and Beijing negative lists and encouraged-catalogues for foreign investment.

FAQ for foreigners in Beijing
Can foreigners live in Beijing long term? What documents are needed?
Yes. Foreigners planning to stay in China for more than 180 days should, within 30 days of entry, apply for a Residence Permit at the Exit-Entry Administration of the local Public Security Bureau, presenting a passport, accommodation registration and other required materials. Short visits use L (tourism), M (business) or F (visit) visas; employment requires a Z visa and study requires an X visa, converted into the relevant residence permit after arrival. Validity and entries are as issued.
Where do foreigners find housing in Beijing?
You can search through agents, rental platforms or the housing channel on this site, and sign a written lease while keeping the deposit and rent receipts. Renting usually requires a copy of your passport and residence permit, and many landlords ask for a deposit (commonly 1–3 months of rent). Inspect the place in person, verify the landlord's identity and property deed, and beware of "sub-letters" and suspiciously low prices.
Can foreigners open a bank account and use mobile payments in Beijing?
Yes. With a valid passport and residence permit (or visa) you can open a personal account at a bank branch, then link WeChat Pay and Alipay for daily spending. Some apps also accept linked international cards now. Keep your bank card and payment PIN safe, and never lend your account to others.
Where do foreigners see a doctor in Beijing? Are there English-speaking doctors?
You can go to the international / foreign-patient clinic of a public hospital, or choose private or international clinics — most large cities offer English-speaking medical services. For emergencies dial 120 for an ambulance; 110 for police and 119 for fire. Bring your passport and residence permit, and keep medical records and receipts for insurance claims.
How convenient is daily transport in Beijing?
Most Chinese cities have extensive public transport: metro, buses, taxis, ride-hailing apps such as DiDi and shared bikes. Foreigners can rent a car with a valid Chinese driving licence or compliant international permit. See the Transport and Geography sections of the city guide above for more local detail.
Can foreigners find communities and events in Beijing?
Yes. Many cities have expat WeChat groups, international clubs, language exchanges and local meet-ups. You can also browse local housing, jobs, second-hand and language-exchange listings on ForeignHub's Beijing city channel to meet people in the same city.
What documents should foreigners carry day to day in Beijing?
Carry your passport or residence permit, or keep a clear photo of the passport's data page and residence permit on your phone for checks. Accommodation registration must be completed within 24 hours of arrival (hotels do it for you; renters register at the local police station). If documents are lost, report to the police and contact your embassy or consulate promptly.
Can foreigners work in Beijing? What permit is needed?
Yes, but only with legal employment. The employer must first obtain a work permit for you; you enter on a Z visa and then convert it into a work-type residence permit. Never work on a tourist or business visa — illegal employment can lead to penalties and future entry bans. Follow the rules of the local science & technology (foreign experts) and exit-entry authorities.
Is Beijing safe for foreigners? What should I watch out for?
Public security is generally good. Keep your passport and belongings safe and avoid displaying large amounts of cash; meet strangers in public places; offers involving visa agency, currency exchange or high-pay overseas jobs are usually scams. Emergencies: police 110, ambulance 120, fire 119.
