QWhere To Live As Expat In Beijing?
Easy access to Western amenities can make living in Beijing more convenient for expats. This is why you will find most foreigners clustered in areas where the Western shops, restaurants, bars and cafes are.
The highest concentration of expats is in the Chaoyang district and Dongcheng district in the East of the city center and in Shunyi a bit farther outside, closer to the Airport. You will of course find foreigners living in many other parts of Beijing, just the amenities are concentrated in Chaoyang,Dongcheng and Shunyi because that is where the most expats are.
