What are the provincial and municipal buildings in Beijing for?

Every province in Beijing has a building, which is equivalent to the provincial conference hall in Beijing. It is used to receive provincial officials to settle in Beijing, make maximum use of resources and understand the relevant decisions and trends of the central government.

Compared with other cities in China, Beijing is different in that it has no habit of naming streets after other provinces and cities. However, there are indeed many buildings in the Imperial Capital named after other places-they are usually called "XX Tower". For example, almost all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government have such a corresponding building, which we call "provincial building" for short.

It is not difficult to imagine that such a name can't be called-these buildings must be related to the corresponding areas. "Beijing office!" There is a friend over there who answers first.

But it is only partly true: Beijing offices in various regions are not necessarily located in these buildings, and the functions of these buildings are by no means just Beijing offices. In fact, they are basically hotels. Of course, the restaurant affiliated to the hotel is often the legendary existence in the hearts of foodies-"Beijing Office Restaurant".

If you want to visit these buildings, well, have dinner, you can use the map above. Look carefully, nearly half of the "provincial buildings" are concentrated near the North Second Ring Road to the North Fourth Ring Road. Why? Most Beijing offices were established in the 1950s (some were hastily established in 49 years).

Development history:

At the beginning, all provinces were crowded. First, Jiangxi, Hunan, Shandong, Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Jilin provinces formed a "seven-province compound" at No.2 Madian South Road, which put the Beijing Office together. After that, seven other provinces followed suit and formed the "Seven Provinces Building" at No.7/KLOC-0, North Third Ring Road East.

Compared with the first seven, the last seven can only use one building, so they are called "seven rich provinces" and "seven poor provinces". But these are all history! Today, the seven provincial buildings no longer exist, and the Beijing office of the seven provincial compound has also moved out one after another. After flying solo, many of them stayed nearby, forming a situation of concentrated distribution of provincial buildings near the North Third Ring Road.
