Beijing is the capital of China, and the host city of Olympic Games. It looks better and better.

What is the racial breakdown of the city? What percent is from Vancouver? I am impressed by the immensity and flow of the skyline. It doesn't look as "boomtown" as other China cities.

WTF??? anyway, its 98% Han, 1.9% ethnic minorities, and probably .1% foreigners, I doubt there's more than 1,000 people from Vancouver, unless if you're counting returned Chinese, may be up to 25,000 I think. Beijing's skyline is controlled, height limits, good design required, Beijing is so much better than just 5 years ago, then it was a gritty industrial city with little greenery, it was quite depressing but it felt like "real China", if you know what I mean. Now it's leagues above any city near it, and it's a beacon of wealth, it's a great livable city, very good parks, good nightlife compared to before, more art and stuff like that, so much to do everywhere.
