You’re speeding along the Jingmi Expressway, questioning whether you really needed to have another four pints at Paddy’s the night before an early morning flight (of course you did). Looking up from your hungover daze, you spot something that catches your eye – a panda statue dressed in robot garb.
Are you imagining things? Is this just a Carlsberg fueled hash-illusion? Surely no Beijing sub-district would have a free wifi-emitting cyborg panda statue as their mascot…
Hash rumour has it that the Wangjing Panda gives out free beer to all true-blue hashers…
Welcome to Wangjing! The city-within-the-city, Beijing’s very own Korea Town!
Now known for the multitude of international companies and mega tech firms that call this sub-district home, Wangjing – probably more so than any other suburb of Beijing – exemplifies the rapid pace of development that defines this fine city.
Twenty five years ago it was known as the Sleeping City, with most residents working in other areas of Beijing. An increasing Korean population settled here in the late ‘90s and throughout the 2000s, establishing it as the Korea Town of Beijing.
At one point, one-third of the population of Wangjing was Korean. Korean-language signs adorn the shopfronts, with fried chicken and tteokbokki being the preferred drunk food of choice for Wangjingers.
Cum join the hares as we take you on a whirlwind tour to experience the sights and sounds of this northeastern district of Beijing! From cherry blossom-lined canals and leafy parks, to the great Zaha Hadid’s architectural masterpiece Wangjing Soho.
Live out your K-pop dreams, pretend you’re in a Korean drama, or just join us to get drunk. Everyone is welcome!
