This picture taken on February 15, 2017 shows people walking on a street in the Heiqiaocun migrant village in Beijing.

But high real estate prices and China's restrictive residence registration system, known as hukou, have driven many into shanty towns on Beijing's periphery. / AFP / Nicolas ASFOURI (Photo credit should read NICOLAS ASFOURI/AFP/Getty Images)
