Qinghuayuan Subdistrict (simplified Chinese: 清华园街道; traditional Chinese: 清華園街道; pinyin: Qīnghuáyuán Jiēdào) is a subdistrict of Haidian District, Beijing,[1] It shares border with Dongsheng Town in the northeast, Xueyuan Road Subdistrict in the east, Yanyuan and Zhongguancun Subdistricts in the south, and Qinglongqiao Subdistrict in the northwest. As of 2020, it had a population of 56,592 under its administration.[2]
"Qinghuayuan" means Tsinghua (University) Garden, referring to the fact it covers much of Tsinghua's campus, and the subdistrict is therefore administered jointly by Haidian District and university officials.[3]
