中國朝鮮族
Prior to the 2000s the Wudaokou area was the most popular area for South Koreans. It was the oldest of the major Korean settlements. Beginning in the early 1990s South Korean students who were studying Chinese for one to two year periods so they could enter Chinese universities began congregating in Wudaokou. Hyejin Kim, author of "International Ethnic Networks and Intra-Ethnic Conflict: Koreans in China", wrote that the growth of Wangjing in Chaoyang District had weakened Wudaokou as a Korean area.
