Yinghai Area (simplified Chinese: 瀛海地区; traditional Chinese: 瀛海地區; pinyin: Yínghǎi Dìqū), or Yinghai Town, is an area and a town of Daxing District, Beijing,[1] located between the 5th and 6th Ring Roads. As of 2020, it has 102,463 inhabitants under its administration.[2]
In 1902, Qing government established wasteland cultivation program within the region.

Later it was shorten to Yinghai.[3]
