Beijing, China. 15th Sep, 2017. People have a rest while shopping in front of statues of Sun Wu-kong and other figures from Journey to the west at Tianyi Market which is to close the next day in central Beijing, China. Tianyi is the latest wholesale market closes its doors after 25 years of operating and some 1,500 shops are forced out in Beijing. Beijing is hoping to get rid of all wholesale markets within its Fourth Ring Road by 2020 in order to reduce its population by 15 percent, a total of some two million people, by 2020.
