TOPIC

I have been Beijing almost 11 years I beloved this city. As a cosmopolitan city, there are multi-cultural atmosphere and melting pot . People who live this city have liberal attitude and enlightened mindedness. I used to live in in urban lifestyle . It’s better than county and town, but the public facilities are still behind the times. People are conservative and friendly.

I prefer living in metropolis cities. Take Beijing as an example. I like to socialize with people and take apart in cultural events go to fashion show, music carnivals, Broadway shows and other amazing social events. There are thousands of bars, restaurants and cinemas. Also, there are libraries, stadiums, shopping malls, museums and art galleries. The modern skyscrapers and traditional buildings exist in this city together. The Chinese people and foreigners live in this international city. All of these convenient public facilities and pluralism culture demonstrate the advantages and disadvantages of this city. On the one hand, it means lots of job opportunities and colorful life during the leisure time. On the other hand, it stands for the terrible public service, traffic congestion , air pollution, over population, expensive housing price and the increasingly crimes.

Inner cities are the livable cities. Although there is a big gap compared with cosmopolitan cities, but there are less pressures and more comfortable life experiences. If you want to enjoy your life and work, inner cities are the suitable places to raise a baby and have slow-pace life. You have a lot of time to develop your interests and have happy weekends and daily life with family members.

The fact is that more and more foreigners want to live in the small cities and get married with local women. It causes a big change and influence many young people to pursue their dreams. Actually, live in an isolated circle, people feel lonely and despair. It’s bad for local people to choose a different lifestyle.
