Electronics mall makes way for Beijing park

Beijing's Zhongguancun science park in Haidian district will soon close its last wholesale market for electronic goods.

The teardown of the Guang'anzhonghai electronics wholesale market, with an area of 4,800 square meters, began on May 15. Authorities said the project will be completed in one month and the space will be repurposed as a public park.

Shops started moving out in November after ceasing operations on Dec 4.
