Qingyundian Town (simplified Chinese: 青云店镇; traditional Chinese: 青雲店鎮; pinyin: Qīngyúndiàn Zhèn) is a town located on northeastern Daxing District, Beijing, China. It shares border with Boxing Subdistrict and Yinghai Town to its north, Majuqiao Town to its northeast, Changziying Town to its east, Anding and Weishanzhuang Towns to its south, as well as Huangcun and Xihongmen Towns in its west. According to the 2020 census, the population of Qingyundian was 69,612.[1]
The name Qingyundian (Chinese: 青云店; lit. 'Azure Cloud Shop') originated as an evolved version of Qingrundian (Chinese: 青润店; lit. 'Azure Moist Shop'), which in turn was given for the region's rich soil and abundant water supply during the Qing dynasty.[2]
