simplified Chinese:
渔阳地区;
traditional Chinese:

pinyin:
Yúyáng Dìqū), or
Pinggu Town, is an
area and a
town situates in the southwest of
Pinggu District, Beijing, China. It borders Wangxinzhuang Town and
Xinggu Subdistrict to the north, Xiagezhuang Town to the east, Donggaocun Town to the south, Machangying and Daxingzhuang Towns to the west, and surrounds
Binhe Subdistrict on three sides. According to the 2020 census, its population was 62,694.
The town was named Pinggu (Chinese: 平谷; lit. 'Flat Valley') because of its location in a plain surrounded by mountains on the north, east and south. When it became an area in 2002, the namd Yuyang (Chinese: 渔阳; lit. 'Fishing Sun') was given in order to distinguish it from the larger district.
