The Foreign Affairs Office of Beijing Municipality recently held a
release ceremony for the "Handbook for Foreigners in Beijing" at Xidan
Bookstore.

Starting now, foreigners travelling to Beijing and local expats can
benefit from the pocket-sized handbook, which provides useful information
on a variety of issues, including entry, taxes, business, travel,
religion, adoption, medical care and marriage. A detailed map of the 2008
Beijing Olympic's stadiums is also available on the last page of the book.

The handbook is printed in both English and Chinese.

Statistics from the Foreign Affairs Office show there are over 70,000
foreigners living in Beijing. The city also receives 3.5 million foreign
travelers annually.

Officers say the book will be kept updated throughout 2008 and the Korean
and Japanese versions are under way.

You can find the handbook at Beijing Xidan Bookstore for 25 yuan a copy.
Online orders are also available at here.
