Gaocun Town (simplified Chinese: 高村镇; traditional Chinese: 高村鎮; pinyin: Gāocūn Zhèn), formerly Gaocun Township (simplified Chinese: 高村乡; traditional Chinese: 高村鄉; pinyin: Gāocūn Xiāng), is a town in Wuqing District in the northwest of Tianjin Municipality. It is located half-way between the city centres of Beijing and Tianjin at the Gaocun exit on the Jingjintang Expressway. The town had a population of 18,210 as per the 2010 census.[1]
Gaocun was promoted from village status to township status in 2013 at around the same time when the region underwent rapid development. Beijing Capital Land has invested billions of Chinese yuan into the Gaocun area by building a Science Park,[2][3] an international school called Haileybury International School,[4][5] Wisdom Plaza and Jingjinhui entertainment complex. Two shopping malls are currently under construction.[6]
