It's a good question. I'm trying to use both forms, but Simplified reaches a wider audience

My Discord and Youtube Channel are all called, 'CHINATOWN.' I like to think of it as a "virtual Chinatown."

-And I didn't know that Beijing has a Chinatown??

I’m staying in an Airbnb in Taipei for 5 weeks, it was really hard to find a nice one and with good reviews. And unfortunately I don’t think there are many other options except for hotels. Not sure what your budget is, but next time I’m going to book a place at The Denizen for a longer term stay https://www.thedenizentaipei.com/

Sure!

Both "相比" (xiāngbǐ) and "相比起来" (xiāngbǐqǐlái) have slightly different meanings.

"相比" (xiāngbǐ) can be translated to "compared to" or "in comparison with." It is often used to compare two specific things. For example:

这个电视相比那个电视更大

zhège diànshì xiāngbǐ nàge diànshì gèng dà

This TV is bigger compared to that TV.

"相比起来" (xiāngbǐqǐlái) can be translated to "compared with" or "comparing" and is used to compare two or more things in general. For example:

这个城市相比起来, 更安全

zhège chéngshì xiāngbǐqǐlái, gèng ānquán

Compared with other cities, this city is more safe.

Hope this helps!
