Question

about  "like" be familiar with
Beijing  was like a black-and-white photograph.
Beijing   likes a black-and-white photograph.
Are they same?

Answer

No they are not the same.  Beijing is a city and cannot have feelings.
In your first sentence you are describing Beijing as being colourless and the sentence is fine as a descriptive sentence.

Answer

'to be like something' means 'to be similar to something'.

'to like somethng' means 'to be fond of something'.

So, no, they are not the same.

Answer

To be like = 像
To like = 喜欢

So you can't say the second one.
