Spring Festival Highlights | Old Charm, New Life: Changping’s Urban Renewal in Focus

This Spring Festival, Beijing’s Changping district brings warmth and vitality through urban renewal. From festive fairs and village galas to the revival of Yong’an Ancient City—heritage sites now blend modern design with public space. Industrial relics at Nankou are reborn as Tsinghua’s national lab base, driving “renewal&innovation.” Commercial hubs like Super Hops One and Shoukai LONG Street boost city life. Over 203 old residential communities upgraded, benefiting 90,000 households. More than 450 renewal projects completed. A replicable “Changping Model” takes shape.(Photo/China Youth Daily)
