Xiqing District.

Xiqing is one of the four ring districts that surround the centre of Tianjin, and its name simply means west of the city. It administers eleven towns and subdistricts including Yangliuqing, Xinkou, Zhangjiawo, Jingwu, Dasi and Wangwenzhuang, and its territory grew in the twentieth century when parts of Shangxinkou, Wangwenzhuang and Zhangjiawo townships were transferred into it from Jinghai County. The district holds the municipality's official weather station, which has recorded temperatures from minus 22.9 to 41.1 degrees Celsius. Its best-known ground is the canal town of Yangliuqing, fifteen kilometres west of the urban core, which is the seat of the district government and has been the centre of a woodblock print trade for four centuries.
