Function Orientation

The new Beijing district is neither the copy of the old city nor the satellite city in the common sense. It will be a city of medium size with millions of population that is rationally proportioned. It should be the terminal of new industries and modern manufacturing industries. It will shoulder some important function of the capital, and it is suitable for inhabitation. It is an important cultural and tourism center in east Beijing. And it is a hub of communications in north China, an important distribution center and a modern trade center.
