Ya, Beijing is different from SH or HK. Some are good, as it's not as tight or "in your face" everything. Some are bad, because everything is so far away, that I think trying to be pedestrian-friendly must be the last thing they have in mind. For example, most north and south entrances of subway stations are only connected on the platform level. It can't be used as a way to cross the insanely wide and exposed BJ avenues.
But overall it is the most pleasant Chinese cities I've stayed. I really love this city.
