Wudaokou is more than just a place name. In this bustling and crowded area, there are too many bizarre details of life, such as Wudaokou Finance College in Tsinghua University, which is hidden in the downtown area but can affect the financial market turmoil in China, and the highest housing price in Beijing, which is known as the "center of the universe". Even buying jujube cakes and queuing in the subway are so extreme.

According to the memories of elders who have lived here for a long time, Wudaokou area was dominated by wasteland in its early years, mixed with farmland and graves. Historically, Wudaokou is neither an old business district like Wangfujing and Xidan, nor a place of interest. From the perspective of housing construction, there are no villas and so-called high-end apartments, but why is this place so prosperous? Where did the term "center of the universe" come from? The origin of the title "Cosmic Center" in Wudaokou has not been verified, and the following statements can be found in the market:

First, there is a very eye-catching Hualian Department Store next to Wudaokou subway station in the center of Wudaokou. On the top floor of Hualian Department Store, there is a huge advertising signboard "U-CENTER Wudaokou". It is pointed out that the U here is the explanation of the universe, and together it is the center of the universe-Wudaokou. ?

Another saying is that it has been circulating for the longest time and is most accepted by young people living in Wudaokou. Because in the eyes of many young people living in Wudaokou, Wudaokou is a place where multi-cultures blend, and eight well-known universities, mainly Tsinghua Peking University, meet here, which also makes the bars, nightclubs, cafes, various restaurants, cinemas, emotional stores, clothing markets, and various roadside food stalls and book stalls here colorful. For people who live here, their life and work circles are at Wudaokou, which is all their understanding of the universe.
