Located in Eastern Beijing, Chaoyang District covers a total area of 470.8 square kilometres. It boasts a long history with primitive settlements engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry in the Lishuiqiao area in the north as early as the Neolithic era. As the ancient land of the States of Yan and Ji, Chaoyang occupied a key geological location in the Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties and thus carries rich historical heritages.

Chaoyang, presenting distinct colours in spring, summer, autumn and winter, is sometimes attractive and sometimes quiet. Large-scale parks circle in Chaoyang District around Beijing and have become backyards of many citizens. As of 2019, 23 country parks had been built in the district with an area of 22,900 mu.

Chaoyang District insists on giving full play to its advantages as the “Two Zones” of the first National Public Cultural Service System Demonstration Zone and the first National Cultural Industry Innovation Experiment Zone and actively promotes the in-depth integration of cultural undertakings and cultural industries. It guides cultural industry parks to increase the supply, improve the effectiveness and expand the scope of public cultural services. Such cultural parks are encouraged to gradually transform into urban parks, which better meets the growing cultural needs of the people in the new era and continuously enhances people’s sense of culture and happiness.
