[2] Wangjing is a self-contained and multifunctional urban area that was newly developed in the northeast of central Beijing.

One common resource is that Shen Kuo (1031–1095 AD), a scientist during the Northern Song dynasty, mentioned Wangjing in his book Dream Pool Essays.

Another widely agreed reference is that the Qing emperor Qianlong passed through Wangjing and saw the Dongzhihmen when he looked in the direction of the Beijing City.

In December 2009, the Detailed Regulatory Planning of the Dawangjing Business District was approved by Beijing Municipal Government.

[13] From 2008 to 2017, the Korean population in Wangjing had decreased due to the economic crisis which causes higher rates of living expenses.

[16] Wangjing is about 10 kilometers away from both the Beijing Capital International Airport and the center of The city (Tiananmen Square).

The north part is named Wangjing Science and Technology Industrial Park which later forms the main body of East Lake Street.

Overall, Wangjing can be roughly divided into four blocks with different characteristics which are businesses in the east, living in the west, education in the south, and science in the north.

Wangjing West Transportation Hub, located at the southeast corner of the Jingcheng intersection and Huguang Middle Street, is under construction as of 2023.

It is also in service of managing ground public transits, taxis, bicycles, and shuttles to Shunyi, Huairou, Miyun, and central Beijing.

[25] Wangjing SOHO stands halfway between Beijing Capital International Airport and the city center.

Designed by Zaha Hadid, the three towers, 387, 416, and 656 (200m) feet tall, are surrounded by a 196,850-square-foot public park in Wangjing, a tech business hub in northeast Beijing.
