Inside the Beijing Digital Entertainment Demonstration Base, Shijingshan District rapidly developed its digital entertainment industry, including online games, film and television, animation and cartoon and digital new media.
So far, ten top online gaming enterprises have set up headquarters or branch offices in Shijingshan. Recreation Spring and Autumn, an online game company, made 35.5 million yuan (US$5.71 million) in 2012 and the average annual revenue growth rate reached 70 percent. As of March 2012, the number of registered users exceeded 40 million on platform of the game "Iccgame."
