In Chinese, Tong means being able to extend everywhere. Tongzhou has always been such a place even since the ancient time when the Grand Canal was thriving. Now, the district has many highways to Beijing, Tianjin and other cities. The newly established Batong light rail (Bawangfen in Beijing to Tongzhou) makes travel more convenient. Tongzhou's modern amusement and tourism facilities are well appreciated by visitors. Travel agencies, star hotels, tourist shopping stores and restaurants can be easily found within the urban area.
