As one of biggest trade partner of China, it is logical that a lot of people from South Korea chose to expatriate in Beijing, either to study or work. The Korean expatriate community is estimated around 100 000 people in Beijing, the largest foreign group, far from other nationalities.

Two areas are specially favored by Korean: first is Wudaokou, in the north-west, the area of universities and students, where you can find a lot of Chinese and Korean fast-food restaurants.

The second one, the district of Wangjing, in the north-east, is developing fast and has more and more importance in Beijing as is it planned to build there a second CBD. Although Wangjing is part of administrative district of Chaoyang, it is not the city center, but it has a great advantage because it is closer to airport and to Shunyi, the area of international schools in Beijing.

For korean food lovers (BBQ, kimchi, bibimpap rice stone pot), Wangjing is the place to be: a lot of supermarkets with genuine Korean food are there, as well as many restaurants, usually better and cheaper than in other places of Beijing. The Korean International School of Beijing is located in Wangjing.
