Tips

culture
Located in Haidian District near Peking University (北大) and Tsinghua (清华), Zhongguancun grew from a cluster of electronics stalls in the 1980s into China's premier tech hub. Lenovo, Baidu, and countless startups began here.
mistakes
Despite (cūn) literally meaning "village," this is a modern urban tech district, not a rural area. The name is a historical holdover.
