Shijingshan District of Beijing is regarded as a traditional area of heavy and chemical industries due to the numerous large enterprises there. However, as Shougang Group (also Capital Iron and Steel Group) started relocation, the situation, which has remained for decades, will be fundamentally changed.

Shijingshan District will build a super large recreation base, and will set tertiary industry as its dominant sector, said Zhang Libing, executive vice district governor at a news conference on August 1. This means heavy and chemical industries will disappear from the map of Beijing proper.

According to the latest edition of the overall planning of Beijing, after the movement of steel-related industries, Shijingshan District will vigorously develop recreation, business and exhibition as well as original technology as its leading industries.
