Thousand Questions and Thousand Spirits Grand Canal ｜ There are six commercial complexes on the banks of Tongzhou River, and eating, drinking and having fun are full of foreign flavor.

"It’s so different, I can hardly recognize it." Xiaoli, a junior at Beijing University of Technology, went back to Tongzhou Campus and found that the canal business district, which was always under construction, was full of foreign flavor when the enclosure was demolished! After eating, shopping and taking crazy photos all the way, Xiaoli lamented that I had heard that Sanlitun and Lujiazui were to be marked here, but I didn’t take it seriously. Now it is "eye-catching".

Lao Zhang, who lives in Ruyiyuan Community of Xinhua Street, feels even more profound. "Before Beiguan this area is messy, the river is smelly. These years have been the same every year, and now it looks like a metropolis with good scenery. " Lao Zhang is very happy about this. Now, in his spare time, he likes to walk around the canal.

On the banks of Tongzhou River, skyscrapers have sprung up. The 190-meter-long Twin Towers of the New Everbright Center have been completed, and the 239-meter-high ocean Ledi Port has been capped. The buildings springing up like mushrooms after rain in the Canal Business District constitute not only a business office area, but also an urban living area. Cinema, business, apartments, bookstores, art galleries, gymnasiums, supermarkets, restaurants, tourism and other formats are all available here.

According to Huang Zhiyuan, deputy director of the Management Committee of Canal Business District, Tongzhou District, Beijing, at present, the commercial development of Canal Business District is in its infancy, and the construction is being stepped up. Combined with the "Opening-up of Service Industry and Development Plan of Business Service Industry in the Tenth Five-Year Plan Period of Beijing City Sub-center", the Canal Business District will be built into a regional-level commercial center with Chinese and foreign brands complementing each other, fashion shopping and quality consumption coexisting harmoniously, reasonable format configuration, complete experience functions and active economy at night.
