The Economist Intelligence Unit last week released a half-year survey of the most liveable cities worldwide. Unexpectedly, Beijing ranks 72nd among the 140 most livable cities across the globe - the first among all listed Chinese cities - leaving Dalian, in Liaoning province, Shenzhen, in Guangdong province, and Shanghai behind it.

The survey involved many factors, including the crime rate, natural environment, medical and education services, politics and social stability. The findings have attracted much online debate.
