Most
of the expatriates in Beijing live in the east of the city, in the
districts centered on Chaoyang, but there is important economic and
administrative activity in the west as well, and one of the most
important places in Beijing is located at the West of the Changan
avenue, with Xidan and the Finance Street up to Fuxingmen.
All
these places are located in the Xichang district of Beijing, this is
not far from the seats of many Chinese administrations and central
power, the Tiananmen place is not far at the west.
Let's
say it, this is an important landmark in Beijing, with business hubs
and banks, as well as a large shopping mall area in Xidan. Chinese
people love to get there, foreign people in Beijing not so much, but
Xidan is an area that counts and you may have to live there for
professionnal reasons.
Close
to Jirong Jie : Beijing's Financial Street.
Beijing
is not one of mainland China's most important financial centers, but
still there is quite important financial institutions there. Finance
in China in settled in other cities , Shanghai and Shenzhen, but
central banks authorities that have authority on the Chinese
financial and monetary system are in Beijing. Insurance companies are
located there too, so this is actually a really important financial
center.
Some
foreign companies such as Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan and UBS are there.
However,
there is not enough foreigners in this area to attract any
international school, this is definitely not a place suited for expat
with kids.
One
of the main shopping place in Beijing
For
centuries, this area has had a very intense commercial activity. You
have now many of the most luxurious shopping mall in Beijing and
China there, among the mst famous ones, the Xidan Joy City, Seasons
Place, Grand Pacific, lines up in Xidan, which is quite impressive to
see with sophisticated lightnings at night. The very last of those
shopping place is the Galeries Lafayette that have opened their
Chinese flagshipstore there.
This
is a place for culture with many theaters around, especially the
magnificient National Center for Performing Arts, also called the
Beijing Opera House, the largest bookshop in Beijing, Xidan Bookstore
and many other venues.
If
