Beixinqiao Subdistrict (Chinese: 北新桥街道; pinyin: běixīnqiáo jiēdào) is a subdistrict in the northern part of Dongcheng District, Beijing, China. The Yonghe Temple is located here. The subdistrict consists of 10 communities. By 2020 it has a total population of 55,449. Beijing Subway Line 5 runs through the subdistrict. This area of land was called "Xingqiao" (Chinese: 兴桥; lit. 'Prosperous Bridge') During the Yuan dynasty, and was changed to "Beixinqiao" (Chinese: 北新桥; lit. 'New Northern Bridge') in the Qing dynasty. There was a legend about Chinese monk Yao Guangxiao having locked up a Dragon King inside a well.
