Beijing recently debuted a list of 12 municipal-level tourism and leisure blocks, catering to citizens' desire for quality sightseeing and recreation.

Qianmen Street, along with the nearby Dashilan shopping street, is regarded as one of the oldest and most well-known shopping districts in the city.

In recent years, Qianmen has become an iconic neighborhood integrating modernity with traditional Chinese culture.

TaiKoo Li Sanlitun, one of the most fashionable shopping and lifestyle centers in the city, is famous for its flagship brick-and-mortar stores from world-renowned fashion brands.

Outside the city center, the Badaling Great Wall Tourism and Leisure district has fostered an innovative business environment, with cultural stores such as the Great Wall Memory store.

751D・PARK Fashion Plaza, Huaxi Live Wukesong and Zhongliang Xiangyun Small Town also made the list.

According to standards for rating tourist attractions and establishing leisure blocks, the areas are divided into national and provincial levels. The selection process for the first batch of tourism and leisure blocks in Beijing began in June and the 12 that made the list were reviewed and approved by the Beijing Bureau of Culture and Tourism and Beijing Commission of Development and Reform.

Beijing plans to develop more national-level tourism and leisure blocks in future to build the city into an international consumption center.
