description Beijing Underground City Overview
Beijing Underground City is a Cold War civil-defense network of tunnels and shelters beneath Beijing, China. Construction began in 1969 and continued for about ten years, reflecting Chinese fears of military attack and nuclear war during a period of intense Sino-Soviet tension. The complex was built as a bomb-shelter system rather than an underground urban district, and it is associated with civil-defense planning during the Mao era.
