Beijing Capital International Airport is located in the northeast of Beijing, in Shunyi District, but under the jurisdiction of Chaoyang District, 25.35 kilometers away from Tiananmen Square. On the site selection of airport construction, the address of Capital International Airport was chosen in Shunyi, which belonged to Hebei Province at that time. Therefore, the land occupied by the airport has become a peripheral enclave of Beijing in Hebei Province, and the airport is under the jurisdiction of Chaoyang District of Beijing. Later, as Shunyi moved from Hebei to Beijing, the airport still belonged to Chaoyang District, so Shunyi District became the outer enclave of Chaoyang District. The newly-built T3 terminal in 2004 was built on the land in Shunyi District, so the T 1 and T2 terminals of Capital International Airport are enclaves outside Chaoyang District, while T3 terminal is the land in Shunyi District. Although the jurisdiction of the airport belongs to Chaoyang District, the airport staff are mostly from Shunyi District, and the senior airport staff are also deputies to the People's Congress and members of the CPPCC in Shunyi District.
