Fengtai District () is a district of the municipality of Beijing. It lies mostly to the southwest of the city center, extending into the city's southwestern suburbs beyond the Sixth Ring Road, but also to the south and, to a smaller extent, the southeast, where it has borders with Chaoyang District and Dongcheng District. History The Western Han dynasty Prince Liu Jian and his wife were buried in Dabaotai village in southwestern Fengtai over 2,000 years ago. The tombs were discovered in 1974 and are now open to visitors at the Dabaotai Western Han Dynasty Mausoleum on Fengbo Road. In Qing Dynasty times, Fengtai was where the Imperial Manchu Army had its camps, trained, and held parades on festive occasions. It is in area, making it the third-largest precinct in the greater urban part of Beijing, and is home to 790,000 inhabitants. It is divided into 14 subdistricts of the city proper of Beijing, 2 towns, and 5 townships (2 of which are suburbs of the city proper of Beijing). This precinct is newly urbanized in comparison to those precincts in the old city, and until the mid-1980s, it was still a mostly rural area where pig pens and goat pens were common, and major parts of the precinct had no electricity. It was only during the recent rapid economic development that the precinct was urbanized. Its postal code is 100071. Changxindian (population 78,092) and Yungang (population 32,894) Subdistricts of Beijing make up an urban area distinct from Beijing. Administrative divisions As of 2020, the district administers 14 subdistricts, 3 townships, 2 areas with subdistrict status, and 2 towns: In 2021, Fengtai District was reorganized into 26 subdivisions, notably removing Lugouqiao and Nayuan Areas, adding Chengshousi, Shiliuzhuang, Yuquanying, Kandan, Wulidian and Qingta Subdistricts, as well as renaming Lugouqiao Subdistrict and Changxindian Town to Liuliqiao Subdistrict and Beigong Town respectively.
