Zhongshanmen Subdistrict (
simplified Chinese:
中山门街道;
traditional Chinese:
中山門街道;
pinyin:
Zhōngshānmén Jiēdào) is a
subdistrict located in the southern side of
Hedong District,
Tianjin. it shares border Shanghang Road and Wanxing Subdistricts to the northeast, Erhaoqiao Subdistrict to the southeast, Fumin Road Subdistrict to the southwest, and
Dazhigu Subdistrict to the northwest. It had a total population of 94,762 as of 2010.
Its name Zhongshanmen (Chinese: 中山门; lit. 'Middle Mountain Gate') originated in 1947, when the Nationalist government constructed a series of fortification in Tianjin during the Chinese Civil War. A huge metal gate was installed within this region, along with a inscription reading: "Zhongshanmen". Later people started to refer to the area by this name.
