Introduction to Daxing District
Daxing County is located in the southern suburbs of Beijing, adjacent to Fengtai and Chaoyang District in the north, Langfang City and Gu'an County in Hebei Province in the south, Fangshan District across the Yongding River in the west, and Tongxian County in the east. It is 44 kilometers wide from east to west and long from south to north. Covering an area of 1030.6 square kilometers, the Han nationality accounts for 96% of the total population, and 30 ethnic minorities such as Hui, Manchu, Mongolia and North Korea account for 3.6%. It has jurisdiction over 1 district, 9 towns, 18 townships, 554 natural villages, and the county people's government is located in Huangcun Town.
Daxing County has a long history. It was founded in the Qin Dynasty, initially as Jixian County, and changed to Xijin County in the Liao Dynasty. In the Jin Dynasty, in the second year of the Yuan Dynasty (1154 AD), the Jin Dynasty attempted to replace the Song Dynasty, and changed Yong'an Prefecture to Daxing Prefecture, and Yujin County to Daxing County, implying a vast territory and prosperity. Daxing was named for this and has been used since then. Daxing County was under the jurisdiction of Hebei Province in 1928, and was renamed Beijing in 1958. Most of Nanyuan District was returned to Daxing County, and was renamed Daxing District of Beijing after merger. In 1960, Daxing District was abolished and Daxing County was restored.
Daxing County is one of the ancient counties in Beijing, with many places of interest and tourist attractions. There are more than 40 places, such as Qingtuanhe Palace, Yuan Wuyan Zen Master Tower, Qingshuang Willow, Kunlun Stone, Eastern Han Dynasty Twin Pagoda Temple, Linqing Kekeli, Zhang Hua's hometown, Liaojin Village Site, Ancient Iron smelting Site, Imperial Tomb, and the Tomb of British Prince's descendants. Among them, Tuanhe Palace is the largest of the four palaces built in the 42nd year of Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1777 AD). It covers an area of 400 mu and has more than 300 halls. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Tuanhe Palace was burned and looted by the Eight Power Allied Forces, and then destroyed and looted by the Northern Warlords and the Japanese invaders, which turned into ruins. It has been restored and turned into a heritage park. A number of new tourist attractions, such as the Yufa Ten Thousand Mu Forest Rare Zoo, Banbidian Forest Park, Beilin Park, Beiputuo Film and Television Training Center, and Knight Park, have begun to take shape and have received a large number of tourists. In addition, Nanhaizi Milu Park was a famous royal park in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. In 1900, the Eight Power Allied Forces invaded Beijing, and Nanhaizi was devastated, and the milu deer were killed and looted. After efforts in 1985, 22 milu deer returned to Nanhaizi from Britain. By 1995, it had grown to more than 200, becoming the largest milu deer breeding base in China.
