‘City of crime and contrasts’
Conde Nast Traveler magazine says its subjective annual Readers’ Choice Survey asked readers to rate cities on a number of factors, including “friendliness.”
It said the results didn’t always reflect the local residents.
Such is the case with Beijing, which made number six on the unfriendly list after being dissed for its “terrible pollution” and “dirty streets and hideous traffic.”
