Tiantongyuan (Chinese: 天通苑; pinyin: Tiāntōngyuàn) is a resident area in northern Beijing's Changping District, under the administration of Tiantongyuanbei and Tiantongyuannan Subdistricts. As of April 2008, it was said to have over 400,000 residents. As of 2019, the population of Tiantongyuan had jumped to 700,000, making it the largest Xiaoqu (housing community) in China, and the suburb accounts for 3% of the population of Beijing. Tiantongyuan is divided into Tiantongxiyuan (天通西苑), Tiantongdongyuan (天通东苑), Tiantongbeiyuan (天通北苑), Tiantongzhongyuan (天通中苑), and Old Tiantongyuan (本区 or 老区); each such neighborhood is further subdivided into sections 1, 2, and 3 (except for Tiantongzhongyuan, which is further divided into North, South, East, West and Northeast). During the early decades of the People's Republic, the area was the site of a labor camp for class enemies.
