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]

The Yang Guang Qing School of Beijing is also located in the district.

The Chinese government have voted that Daxing will be the location of the 2nd Beijing Airport.[7] The airport is expected to be completed by October 2017.[8]
