Ming Yuan).

culture industry development package, which foresees at least 13 similar theme
streets in the district.
In addition, a 16,000-square-meter town square in the community,
centered around a Jin Yuan Shopping mall, the first ever in Beijing, is also
under construction where affluent cinemas, star hotels and restaurants will be
located.
