My hometown is Beijing, I've lived here for 22 years, and I have a very deep feeling with Beijing. In order to obtain more choices and opportunities for the future life, I chose to come to Norwich to continue learning from a month ago. As we all known, the world is a vast and varied place,and every place has different customs. And I found some similarities and differences between Beijing and Norwich. I would explore only a few of the most important ones here.

I will talking about the similarities between the two city. Firstly, let’s start from the city transport. Beijing and Norwich are one of the most important and biggest city in their country. So the transport is a important part in their city. Both Norwich and Beijing have convenient transportation and well-developed transport. Secondly, both cities are located of the east in their countries. Thirdly, both two cities have similar public facilities, for instance, two cities both have prefect hospital system, education system and recreational facilities.

Now let's have a quick and short look at differences between Beijing and Norwich. First of all, Beijing is much bigger than Norwich. Beijing covers an area of more than 6336 square miles. Moreover, Beijing has a population of 14.93 million people, and Norwich has 3 million people. In addition, two cities have different climate. Beijing is a city with four distinct seasons. Affected by latitude and longitude, Norwich has greater temperature than Beijing.

In my opinion, two cities have more differences than similarities. The reason as follows. Beijing has long and illustrious history started some 500,000 years ago. Although now Beijing is a modern and fashionable city, also you can experience traditional Beijing life. Of course, Norwich is a modern international economic, financial and trade centre in UK. But as the capital of the PRC, Beijing is the nation political, economic, cultural and educational center as well as Chinese most important center for international trade and communications.
