The largest bullring in Asia will be open within this year, said Shen Baochang, delegate to NPC and secretary of Daxing District Party Committee.

The bullring, which will be hard by Beijing Wildlife Park, will have 3,000 seats. People will then be able to see Spanish bullfight and American-style bullfight without leaving Beijing.

As learned the bullring will be built in imitation of the Spanish bullring and the bulls will be purebred fighting bulls imported from Spain. In concert with Daxing's new villages construction the villa village built right outside Wildlife Park will be launched into operation this year. Every farmer household can rent rooms to customers. There will also be parking lots. Urban citizens will then be able to check in on Friday and visit Wildlife Park and watch bullfight the next day.
