# Zhenluoying

Zhenluoying Town (simplified Chinese: 镇罗营镇; traditional Chinese: 鎮羅營鎮; pinyin: Zhènluōyíng Zhèn) is a town situated on the northern end of Pinggu District, Beijing, China. It is surrounded by mountains on all sides except the west.

The origin of its name can be traced back to 1544, when Ming dynasty defeated and captured a group of Doyan raiders from Northern Yuan. The captured Mongols were kept in a garrison in this region, which was named Zhenluying (Chinese: 镇虏营; lit. 'Subdue Captive Barrack'). The name later evolved into Zhenluoying of today during the Qing dynasty.
