The number of cities in the world ranked more romantic than Beijing, which (beyond surprisingly!) placed fourth on Time Out's Global Dating Survey. It's a nice to have another meaningless accolade to our fair city's name but we're also finding this one very hard to believe.
Intern at the Beijinger The Beijinger is seeking editorial interns to participate in the planning, research and writing of articles, blog posts and all the other things that go into both the Beijinger magazine and website. Are you living in Beijing and excited to be here, experienced in writing but eager to learn more, hungry for knowledge, versatile and quick to learn, and responsible and hard-working? Then impress us with your CV, links to your blog or online articles, and some recent writing samples.

With just under 300 restaurants in the running for awards in over 50 categories, make sure you know what you're looking for before heading out on the town.
