When you’re learning a language, a good way to practice is to describe people, things, and places. As such, I’m going to introduce the place where I currently call home – Beijing – to you in a short article in Chinese, with pinyin and English to help.<\/p>\n

Now I’m living in Beijing. I came here in 2008. At that time, Beijing had the Olympic Games. I think Beijing’s Olympic Games were very interesting. This is my 2nd time living in Beijing. I’ve lived here for a total of 3 years. I’d like to give everyone an introduction to Beijing:<\/p>\n

Beijing is the capital of China. It’s a really big city. Beijing is the political, cultural, and educational center of China. There are many famous places here, such as: Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, the Summer Palace, and so on. There are also a lot of famous universities, such as: Beijing University, Qinghua University, and Renmin University.<\/p>\n

I really like Beijing food. If you come to Beijing, you should eat some local snakcs. I’ll recommend a few snacks for you: fried sauce noodles, egg pancakes, and donkey sandwiches. They are all incredibly delicious. In addition to snacks, Beijing also has roast duck. It’s Beijing’s most famous dish.<\/p>\n

Although I like Beijing, I don’t like the weather here. It’s too cold in the winter, and too hot in the summer. It’s too dry all year. I think Beijing has three more problems. The first is that there are many people. The second is that the traffic jams are especially terrible. The third is that the air is not good.<\/p>\n
