Are you a Peach expert? Pinggu is part of rural Beijing and is best known for its Peaches.

I think your one hour is not accurate and would guestimate that it will take you over two hours to get from Pinggu (where in Pinggu, it is a large area) to downtown Beijing.

Maybe some one can correct but I can not think of anything expat friendly in g. Your nearest area with a high density of expats will be the Shunyi villa area.

Manlin:
Thanks for the heads up....not sure exactly where. I have been told by my company I will have an apartment provided in a 15 story building. I would think that will be in some sort of a city. I was told I will be about an hour from Beijing.
