A gathering place for Chinese IT elites! Hope to become the next Silicon Valley!

The workplace is surrounded by convenient facilities in all aspects. The company and the Sinosteel Building were seen flashing by in the opening shot of the first episode of "In the Name of People".

The plants west of Zhongguancun subway station on the Fourth Ring Road are well maintained, including pear blossoms and magnolias.

Beijing's high-tech area! I did go there to feel the atmosphere. There are many colleges and universities, similar to Wuhan's Optics Valley.

There are internet celebrities everywhere, and basically no other buildings

You have to go inside to feel the pride of talent.

Just take a look at what the electronics industry clusters in my country look like.

China's Silicon Valley has a very beautiful environment, but there is no need to come here to buy computers and mobile phones now.

I only saw it online before, but it's really special when I actually went there.

The impact of e-commerce has made Zhongguancun a dead sea. The shopping index is not as good as before, but the experience is still good! Don't trust the shopping guides on the street!

As a child working in the village, there is nothing to play with...

It is not a tourist attraction, but it is the place with the most complete electronic products.

Zhongguancun is located in the northwest of Beijing, in the most prosperous area of ​​Haidian District, not far from Tsinghua University, Peking University, and the Summer Palace. Zhongguancun is traditionally a distribution center for digital equipment, but online shopping has had a huge impact on Zhongguancun. Zhongguancun is now increasingly transforming into the headquarters of high-tech enterprises, and wholesale and retail industries are gradually withdrawing from Zhongguancun. Zhongguancun is also the center of commerce and entertainment in the region, with more and more things to do, shop, and eat. Zhongguancun used to be a shopping center for high-tech products, but now it is becoming more and more mature and has become a combination of commerce and shopping centers.

It is not suitable as a tourist destination. If you are interested in e-commerce, media, or apps, you can learn more about it.

By ╰ァ Crazy girl〤 |

High-end, stylish, and avant-garde, it is a symbol of China's advanced science and technology.

By *.felicity丶 |

Starting from home, Zhongguancun is most famous for electronic products... It doesn't have to be a tourist attraction~

By My cat ❤ |

I went to Zhongguancun purely to look for the dim sum I remembered after reading other people's travel notes. The waiters were wearing white coats and fiddling with the weights, which was very nostalgic.

This is where I grew up, yes, Zhongguancun. I dare not say that the speed of change here can be ranked in the world, but no matter how it changes, I still love it.
