Workation in Beijing: the essentials
Beijing runs on imperial geometry and enormous distances. The Forbidden City and Tiananmen sit on the old north-south axis, ring roads spread outward for dozens of kilometres, and more than 21.8 million residents make this the world's most populous national capital. Hutong lanes survive around the Drum Tower, Tsinghua and Peking University anchor the Zhongguancun tech district, and coworking is plentiful. The Great Wall at Mutianyu is within day-trip range. Daily life depends on local apps and mobile payment, Western services such as Google and WhatsApp need a VPN, and winter air can be poor. Capital International Airport is about 25 km from the centre.
