๐๏ธ๐ Beijing is HUGE โ Way Beyond What Most Imagine! ๐ฒ๐
Did you know?
๐ Just one district in Beijing is as big as the entire city of Shenzhen!
๐ And the total area of Beijing is 8 times that of Shenzhen! ๐ฑ๐บ๏ธ
๐ From ๐งญ Shifo Temple Village (Daxing) in the south
โก๏ธ to Huaifeng Tunnel in the north,
the straight-line distance is a whopping 196 km! ๐๐จ
๐ Planning a weekend getaway to Beijingโs far suburbs?
โ ๏ธ Think twice โ itโs like leaving the city!
Most of your day is spent on the road, not at the destination. ๐ฃ๏ธ๐ฅฑ
โฐ If you live in Beijing long-term,
a 1-hour commute is considered normal.
For most office workers ๐จโ๐ผ๐ฉโ๐ผ,
๐ 1+ hour one-way is part of daily life โ and theyโre used to it.
๐ People from the south might not get it.
In the Greater Bay Area, an hour means: ๐๐ Crossing between two cities
๐ A 1.5-hour subway ride feels like living in Longgang and working in Nanshan.
๐ญ They say:
โOnce you arrive in Beijing, youโll never leave.โ
But maybeโฆ
those who drifted north ๐ถโโ๏ธ๐ฌ๏ธ
have simply gotten used to the traffic of the imperial capital ๐๐ฆ
