Xiaoguan Subdistrict (Chinese: 小关街道; pinyin: Xiǎoguān Jiēdào) is a subdistrict on the northwest of Chaoyang District, Beijing, China. It borders Taiyanggong Township to the East, Hepingjie Subdistrict to the south, Yayuncun Subdistrict to the west, and Datun Subdistrict to the north. As of 2020, it has a total population of 61,966.[1]
This district's name, Xiaoguan (Chinese: 小关; lit. 'Small Pass') came from the fact that there used to be a checkpoint within the area.[2]
In 1975, Deqing Road Subdistrict was created within this area, and the name was changed to Xiaoguan Subdistrict 3 years later. In 1987, the land of what would become Anzhen Subdistrict was separated from the subdistrict.[2]
