What should I pack when moving to Beijing?

"When moving to Beijing, it is important to pack several weather-appropriate clothing items, such as a raincoat, light sweaters, and long-sleeved shirts. It is also recommended to bring a comfortable pair of walking shoes and sunglasses to protect from the strong sunlight. Moreover, items such as toiletries, medication, and personal documents should also be included in your moving preparations. If possible, it is also helpful to learn some basic Mandarin before moving to Beijing, even if it is just a few key phrases and words," said another expat in Beijing, China, China.

"Three things I wish I had brought when moving to Beijing: My favorite hair products - American products are really expensive and sometimes impossible to find. Cocktail bitters - I come from a place where craft cocktails are all the rage. Finding anything but agnosta bitters is unheard of. My favorite chair - most everyone buys their furniture at IKEA, which is fine. But, if you want something different there aren't many places where you can walk in, try something and then go home with it any earlier than 6 weeks. Three things I didn't need to bring Any of my kitchen appliances - I knew my hairdryer didn't work but didn't think about anything else. You will have to have a converter to use with anything. Way easier to just buy a new appliance. High heel shoes - I sprained my ankle within 2 weeks of arriving. The sidewalks are uneven and horrible to walk on. I won't wear high heels ever in Beijing. Hard luggage - I've converted everything to soft so I can pack it away. It's hard to move at the airport true, but better than it taking up your living space," wrote a member who made the move to Beijing, China.
