Overview

Daxing District was upgraded from a county to a district with the approval from the State Council on April 30, 2001.[citation needed] Covering an area of 1,012 square kilometers with a population of 671,444,[1] Daxing District is divided into 3 subdistricts of the city proper of Beijing and 14 towns (5 of which are suburbs of the city proper of Beijing). Panggezhuang in Daxing is famous for its watermelons.[citation needed]

Culture

Located in the south of Beijing, the area is not as affluent as those that most visitors to Beijing are familiar with, such as Xidan and Guomao. Much of the industry in Daxing is related to distribution of food and consumer goods to service Beijing. There are many self-built communities casually created by the residents themselves, mostly of whom have moved in from the countryside.[citation needed]

Education

There are two major universities located in Daxing District, the Beijing Institute of Petrochemical Technology and the Beijing Institute of Graphic Communication. Both of them are headquartered in Tsingyuan, and have its branch in Kangzhuang. Tsingyuan and Kangzhuang are planned as a university city in the south of Beijing.

Transportation

The Chinese government have voted that Daxing will be the location of the 2nd Beijing Airport.[2] The airport is expected to be completed by October 2017.[3]
