The Beijinger is a free listings and lifestyle magazine published at the beginning of each month by expatriates and available in numerous restaurants bars, hotels, and cafes in Beijing.

[10] Government licenses to run publications require substantial money and work, so the magazine opted to rely on collaborations with Chinese companies to get approval.

[24] Fodor's said that The Beijinger provides "the most critical and comprehensive coverage" of dance shows, plays, and concerts alongside Time Out Beijing and is "the best way to find out what's on and where to party" with the "most extensive listings".

[26] Lonely Planet in 2007 found the magazine to be "slick and confident" as well as "well-designed, well written and the best of the bunch" of free English-language publications given at hotels.
