The long awaited Expat Show Beijing finally opened at the China World Trade Center on Friday afternoon drawing a huge crowd of expatriates.

The show, the largest such show ever held in Beijing, includes 150 companies, 20 associations and a variety of activities and has been described by the visitors as informative, educational and fun.

Among the swarm of people at the show, a majority are expatriate families that have already settled down in Beijing. Many parents with kids in tow were seen attentively walking around the show, collecting information about everything from the best health clinics in their neighborhood to the best schools for their children.

Many fresh arrivals to the capital city were able to grab this chance to find the information they need as new arrivals to a foreign city.

Expatriates from all over the Beijing area were able to learn about the wide variety of services available in Beijing in a convenient and attractive environment.

At the show, Eric Paris, a French-style beauty salon, is providing individualized hair care service to any expat that visits their booth. Detail Dental, a high-end general and cosmetic dental service, has created a flour figure display at its booth for exhibiting the Chinese traditional art of making small figures out of flour. The Dkids Photography Studio, a studio dedicated to photographing children’s parties and family reunions is providing a free “face painting” service for the kids at the expat show adding to the shows enjoyable and relaxed atmosphere.

The Kinstar International Bilingual School (KIBS) has taken over a special corner to provide a temporary kindergarten at the show. Small children after being dropped off by their parents happily enjoy the toys and games inside the happy corner with the KIBS’ teachers.
