Welcome to Haidian District!
Haidian (海淀 Hǎidiàn) is a large district in the north-west of Beijing. Haidian District (simplified Chinese: 海淀区, traditional Chinese: 海淀區, pinyin: Hǎidiàn Qū) is a district of the municipality of Beijing. It is mostly situated in northwestern Beijing, but also to a lesser extent in the west, where it has borders with Xicheng District and Fengtai District.
It is 431 square km in area, making it the second-largest district in urban Beijing (after Chaoyang), and is home to 2,240,124 inhabitants (2000 Census), however, in comparison to other districts, a higher percentage of its inhabitants do not have the governmental residential certificates for long-term residence, because Haidian District is where most universities are located and therefore many of its inhabitants are university students.
