Workers dismantle 33 illegal stores along the Tonglihou Street in Beijing's Sanlitun area. Heavy equipment was busy knocking down dozens of illegal building additions that stretched from residential buildings on the 200-meter-long Tonglihou Street between the well-known Taikoo Li shopping malls. The demolition come amid a string of similar operations across Beijing, which the city government says is aimed at removing safety risks, as many homeowners have knocked out walls to add rental space for shopkeepers.
