Beijing
Capital of China where multiple English sources document organized public square-dancing groups, cultural-center troupes, and national-scale square dance events.
About
Beijing is repeatedly named in English coverage as a major site of guangchangwu practice: Wangjing groups such as Nichangcaiyun, the Xicheng District cultural-center troupe, and large square dance populations cited by Beijing cultural officials. National mass-sports square dancing at the 13th National Games (2017) was held in Tianjin, not Beijing; Global Times covers a separate national public square dance competition support context with a Beijing venue framing.
The place node anchors practices_at, performs_at, and located_in edges for Beijing-based groups and events without inventing neighborhood-level entities beyond what sources support (Wangjing is nested under Beijing when needed).
