Truly Beijing rénr like érhuà. One day, I asked a volunteer,“请问去西花市怎么走？”--"Please tell me how to get to Xī Huā Shì (a street name)?" She smiled then asked,“请问你是去西花儿市呢还是西华寺？”--"Do you want to go Xī Huār Shì or XīHuá Sì（name of a temple)?" I'm sure I pronounced exactly.And especially Shì ,as the normal situation. But she asked. So I repeated,I want to go Xī Huār Shì ,not XīHuá Sì.Pay my attention on huar. Finally got the answer. By the way,thanks she didn't tell me yòng tuǐ zǒu用腿走(walk by your legs). Actually, Xī Huār Shì is more smoothly than Xī Huā Shì. Besides,it seems that formal term should not érhuà儿化. In addition, Beijing locals speak rén人，sounds like yínr more than rénr. And in the bus,you could hardly hear clearly what the conductor saying, at least me. some of them speak very fast and thick. Is there anything wrong with my ears? Ok, I’ve gotten carried away. Only my personal experiences. I just had been to BeiJing. Truly Beijing rénr like érhuà.
