China's First Central Business District

Beijing Central Business District (CBD) is located in Chaoyang District, covering 7.04 square kilometers in the core area and 84 square kilometers in the functional zone. Planned and launched in 1993, it is China's first central business district and one of the capital's high-end industrial clusters. Leveraging the advantages of the "Two Zones" policies, Integrated National Demonstration Zone for Opening up the Service Sector and the China (Beijing) Pilot Free Trade Zone, the CBD focuses on building a headquarters economy cluster, an international finance hub, a model zone for law-business integration, and a pioneer zone for an internationalized business environment.
