Culture
[edit]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]
Government and infrastructure
[edit]The Beijing Municipal Administration of Prisons operates the following correctional facilities in the district:
Economy
[edit]Additionally Okay Airways,[9] and Xiabu Xiabu have their headquarters in Daxing District.[10]
Education
[edit]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 Qingyuan Subdistrict (清源), and have its branch in Kangzhuang (康庄). Qingyuan and Kangzhuang are planned as a university town in Daxing District. The Yang Guang Qing School of Beijing is also located in the district.
National Seminary of Catholic Church in China is in Daxing District.[11]
Transportation
[edit]
It was decided in 2009 that Daxing would be the location of the Beijing Daxing International Airport.[12] It was constructed in the southern part of Daxing District of Beijing and along the border of Beijing and Hebei Province. The airport was opened in September 2019.
