The Beijing Municipal Administrative Center (BMC) will welcome another tourist spot! The construction of "Mars Sci-Fi City" (火星科幻城) is scheduled to commence in the second half of 2026.

On December 30, 2025, despite the winter chill, the area beneath the iconic “Big Eaves” at Yileyuan Phase II in the BMC was filled with warmth and vitality, as the Shokai Urban Renewal · Big Eaves Community-Level Neighborhood Hub officially opened to the public.

A splendid journey begins with bell and drum resound. During the 2026 New Year’s Day holiday, major commercial districts across the BMC created a vibrant year-end and New Year festive atmosphere by launching diversified and integrated cultural, tourism, and consumption scenarios.

The winter joy of ice fun for Tongzhou residents is back once again. The Xihaizi Park Ice Rink has officially opened, featuring 2,200 square meters of safe ice surface, with unlimited play from 9:00 to 17:00 throughout the day.

On January 4, the Beijing Municipal Ecology and Environment Bureau announced another milestone in the ongoing efforts to improve the city's air quality. In 2025, Beijing recorded an annual average PM2.5 concentration of 27.0 µg/m³, dropping below 30 µg/m³ for the first time.
