At the end of November 2017, 12 clothing wholesale markets from the Beijing Zoo area, were moved to Tianjin, Hebei and other places.

The move is part of Beijing's plan to remove its non-capital functions and promote the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei province.

One of the sites where the markets were moved to is Baigou, in Hebei, 120 kilometers southwest of Beijing, where more than 2,000 clothing merchants have been relocated.
