Shijingshan District
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shijingshan District (Simplified Chinese: 石景山区; pinyin: Shíjǐngshān Qū) is a district of the municipality of Beijing. It lies to the west of the greater urban area of the city.
Although the hills around Yunju Temple may also be called Shijingshan, they are pronounced differently in Chinese and hence are unrelated to Shijingshan district.
It is 86 square kilometres in area, making it one of the smaller districts in the greater urban part of Beijing (the immense Mentougou District to the west of it dwarfs Shijingshan District), and is home to 340,000 inhabitants (2002). Its postal code is 100043.
The western stretch of the 5th Ring Road lies in this area. The Beijing subway serves this area (Line 1). China National Highway 109 runs through Shijingshan.
