Hi everyone
This is my first posting. Hoping to get some feedback on the day to day air quality in Beijing. I am considering moving to Beijing in November but I am really worried about the air quality. If I browse on China Air Daily, it seems a little over optimistic compared to the news reports I am seeing. If I do a google search online, it seems to return only nuclear winter pictures and I'm not sure if either side is representative of the actual day to day life of someone living in Beijing? Could anyone share their real life experience please? How frequent are the bad days and how bad does "bad" air days feel? And how is winter compared to spring, summer and autumn?
Excluding the cost of accommodation, is it possible to live fairly comfortably in Beijing on RMB12,000 to 14,000 a month? i.e. without being extravagant, eating in hotels, etc. but maintaining a decent standard of living of a developed country?
Thank you so much. Any feedback would be so much appreciated
