Beijng Zoo wholesale market to be relocated to Hebei Province by 2016

Residents scramble for purchasing garments at the Julong Foregin Trade Garment Store in the Zoo Market Area in the downtown Xicheng District in Beijing, capital of China, Dec. 29, 2015. The Julong Foreign Trade Garment City will be closed on Dec. 31, a move of Beijing government to gradually relocate markets in the Zoo Market Area to neighboring Hebei Province so as to reduce traffic congestion and population density in the capital. The relocation will finally vacate 300,000 square meters and move about 30,000 workers out to less crowded suburbs. (Xinhua/Luo Xiaoguang)
