## What Beijing-based is

Beijing-based is your city, in your pocket. Beijing's own identity layer — people, places, and events, all on Beijing's domain.

Everyone who lives in Beijing can claim a handle at beijing-based.com/yourname: a permanent page on the city's domain that shows who you are here, the places you actually go, and the events you are attending. It is the address you put in your Instagram bio when you want to say you are in the city, not passing through.

Four things:

1. Identity — claim beijing-based.com/yourname. Your permanent address in Beijing. Your photo, bio, the places you go, the events you attend.
2. Places — the Beijing spots worth knowing. Venues, cafés, studios, galleries. Each has its own page. Save them, share them, get perks.
3. Events — everything happening in Beijing. Free events, ticketed shows, community gatherings. Organisers list and sell tickets directly, attendees discover and RSVP.
4. Wallet — the member's home base. Saved events, saved places, tickets, and perks at local venues.

Browsing is free, no account needed. A handle at beijing-based.com/yourname is $9/month or $90/year.

The first 100 members in Beijing pay $1/month permanently and are invited to the Beijing launch dinner.
