Shunyi District
Shunyi District is located in the northeast of Beijing. It is 30 miles away from the Beijing city center. With an area of 1,020 square meters, major ethnic groups in Beijing Shunyi District are Hui, Man and Han minorities.
Southern Shunyi is a hive of construction activity - not unlike hundreds of other parts of China. In the Tianzhu Development Zone - the region abutting the airport to the west - the largest international exhibition centre in China has just been opened. Shunyi District had served for the 2008 Olympic Games for the rowing, canoeing, and kayaking events. The newly Shunyi Olympic Rowing-Canoeing Park was the place to hold these activities.
When Beijing Capital International Airport was first built, Shunyi was a subdistrict of Chaoyang. When Shunyi was promoted to full districtship, Chaoyang maintained direct control over the airport so although the airport is completely surrounded by Shunyi district, it is not administratively in Shunyi; it pays its taxes to the Chaoyang government.
