BEIJING is not a typical big city because the Chinese capital is rich in wildlife species.Among the capital cities of the G20,Beijing has the second largest number of bird varieties,second only to Brasilia,the Brazilian capital.That’s according to British biodiversity conservation expert Terry Townshend,who lives in Shunyi District in the suburbs of Beijing.Every weekend,he goes bird-watching in Beijing’s suburbs,such as Mentougou,Huairou,and Yanqing.“About 510 species of birds have been recorded in Beijing,I have been honored to see 430 species so far,”said Townshend.
