Chongwen District (Chinese: 崇文区; pinyin: Chóngwén Qū) is a former district of Beijing, located relatively southeast to the city center (Tiananmen), and was situated between Yongdingmen and Qianmen. It spanned an area of 16.46 square kilometres (6.36 sq mi). It bordered Dongcheng to the north, Fengtai to the south, Chaoyang to the east, and Xuanwu to the west. It merged into the Dongcheng in July 2010.
Chongwen District was one of Beijing's more compact districts, with its geographic area being considerably less than other districts.[citation needed] Prior to its merger with Dongcheng District, it was the smallest of the four districts that composed the city center. The district was renowned for the Temple of Heaven and Longtan Park, as well as housing the two original (and the most authentic) Peking Duck restaurants, Quanjude and Bianyifang.
