My name is Liuba Vladimirova. My first name in full is Liubov, which means "love." I came from Irkutsk, Russia. I used to live in Shenyang, studying at the Liaoning University, before I moved to Beijing in 2011.

I think Beijing has a little bit of everything. This city almost feels like a small country. Here you can find important historic sites, with ancient buildings that kept watch over Beijing for hundreds of years. Walk through hutongs, or traditional alleys, and you'll get a taste of the old Beijing. For cutting-edge, modern experiences, the CBD (central business district) or Sanlitun awaits your exploration. Hop onto the subway to the outskirts, and you'll be greeted by great nature and find yourself immersed in "natural oxygen bars."
