'Ant tribe' crawling to new digs after demolitions

The large "ant tribe" population has found itself new "ant hills" in Beijing as Tangjialing, the once famous "anthill" located in Haidian district, northwest Beijing, is said to be facing demolitions.

The term "ant-tribe" refers to the masses of lowly paid recent college graduates without Beijing hukou, or household registration. They reside in slum-like dwellings but strive to build careers in the city.

The new "anthills" include rooms in Huilongguan, Huoying, Xisanqi and Tiantongyuan, all areas of the rural-urban fringe zone along subway Line 13.
