Located in the south of Beijing, the area is not as affluent as those that most visitors to Beijing are familiar with, such as Xidan and Guomao. Much of the industry in Daxing is related to distribution of food and consumer goods to service Beijing. There are many self-built communities casually created by the residents themselves, mostly of whom have moved in from the countryside.[citation needed]
Government and infrastructure[]
The Beijing Municipal Administration of Prisons operates the following correctional facilities in the district:
