🏙️📏 Beijing is HUGE — Way Beyond What Most Imagine! 😲🌆

Did you know?
📍 Just one district in Beijing is as big as the entire city of Shenzhen!
🌐 And the total area of Beijing is 8 times that of Shenzhen! 😱🗺️

📏 From 🧭 Shifo Temple Village (Daxing) in the south
➡️ to Huaifeng Tunnel in the north,
the straight-line distance is a whopping 196 km! 🚗💨

📆 Planning a weekend getaway to Beijing’s far suburbs?
⚠️ Think twice — it’s like leaving the city!
Most of your day is spent on the road, not at the destination. 🛣️🥱

⏰ If you live in Beijing long-term,
a 1-hour commute is considered normal.
For most office workers 👨‍💼👩‍💼,
🚇 1+ hour one-way is part of daily life — and they’re used to it.

🌇 People from the south might not get it.
In the Greater Bay Area, an hour means: 🚌🚆 Crossing between two cities
🕐 A 1.5-hour subway ride feels like living in Longgang and working in Nanshan.

💭 They say:
“Once you arrive in Beijing, you’ll never leave.”
But maybe…
those who drifted north 🚶‍♂️🌬️
have simply gotten used to the traffic of the imperial capital 👑🚦
