What was Beijing really like?

I lived there a year but have always felt that I got to know the tiniest corner of it. This despite fluency in Chinese, a fine bicycle, plenty of time and money, friends at BTV, the film studio, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, The Asian Wall Street Journal, and many students born and raised in the capital. I need to know more about Beijing's temples.

If the air pollution there abates, would you consider moving there?

Not even a small possibility. It is not a city I love.
