In contrast to popular belief, a lot of Chinese are proud canine owners. Unfortunately, grass is a rare commodity in Beijing so the sidewalks are where man's best friend does his business. Don't get too distracted or you will regret it for the rest of the day.

Also, be on the lookout for traffic as pedestrians in China do not have the right of way.

现在，很多中国人都喜欢养狗。可是，在北京，草坪不是那么常见，所以人行道也便成了人类最好的朋友“撒欢”大小便的地方。别太疏忽了脚下，否则你这一天都会因此而懊恼。

另外，路上还要注意交通。在中国，行人可没啥优先通行权。
