Donghu Subdistrict (Chinese: 东湖街道; pinyin: Dōnghú Jiēdào) is a subdistrict on the northwestern part of Chaoyang District, Beijing, China. It borders Wangjing Subdistrict to the south, Laiguangying Area to the north and west, and Cuigezhuang Area to the east. As of 2020, its population was 62,467.[1]
The subdistrict got its current name Donghu (Chinese: 东湖; lit. 'East Lake') due to the low-lying area on both banks of Beixiao River, where small pools and puddles will form during the rainy season.[2]
Donghu Subdistrict was established in 2014. It was made up of former parts of Laiguangying Area and Cuigezhuang Area.[3]
