“Sun River Village” is what this area used to be called. We are standing before the \u5b59\u6cb3\u5e72\u6c9f\u6865. It is located in the Sunhe area of Beijing.
Sunhe, in the northwest of Chaoyang District, has a rich history. Let’s explore the story behind this bridge and its surroundings.
Sunhe Area is where we find ourselves today. It borders several other townships and subdistricts. These include Konggang Subdistrict and Houshayu Township to the north. Tianzhu Township lies to the east. Cuigezhuang and Jinzhan Townships are to the south. Laiguangying Township and Beiqijia Town are to the west.
Once called Sunduitun, this area transformed. In 1808, it became Sunhecun. This translates to “Sun River Village”. This name eventually encompassed the entire township.
The \u5b59\u6cb3\u5e72\u6c9f\u6865 stands as a silent witness. It stands to the changes Sunhe has undergone. From its humble beginnings to its current status, Sunhe has a compelling story to tell.
In 1912, this area was part of Daxing County in Hebei. By 1948, it was divided. It became part of Changping County of Hebei and the 13th District of Beijing. 1956 saw it as part of Dongjiao District, Beijing.
A significant shift occurred in 1958. The area was divided among people’s communes. These included Heping, Chaoyang, Xingfu and Hongguang. By 1959, it formed its own commune. This later changed to a production team.
In 1984, it was converted to Sunhe Township. Then in 2004, it incorporated Huanggang Township.
Today, Sunhe Township consists of various communities and villages. These subdivisions reflect its growth and administrative evolution. Among these are Kangying Jiayuanyi Community and Sunhe Village.
