Beijing drops out of top 10 ‘best city’ list - Fu Jing

From China Daily:

Beijing may be the nation’s capital, but according to a recent survey, it does not even rank in China’s top 10 cities in terms of suitability for living.

The city came 15th in the list, as compared to third in 2004, due to its bad traffic, high housing prices and heavy pollution.
