The auto industry is another engine of economic development in the district, and brings in more than 100 billion yuan in revenues annually. 

The Beijing Hyundai Motor Co and BAIC Motor Group, two of Beijing's key automobile manufacturers, are both in Shunyi, where a third Hyundai factory is being planned.

The district government says it will have many other auto-related projects in future, including design and R&D centers, motor electronics, and auto shows.

The local government sees an improved auto manufacturing chain and plans to build an auto industry base with global influence. 

The district is expected to have a production capacity of 1.4 million vehicles annually by the end of 2015. In addition to these industries, some emerging sectors such as new materials, new energy, and IT are in Shunyi's industrial sights.

And the agricultural sector, a traditional industry, has not been left out. It is being pushed to a higher level with a "green", circular production model.

The district's agriculture is expected to increase its share of the Beijing farm produce market.
