# Taishitun

Taishitun Town (simplified Chinese: 太师屯镇; traditional Chinese: 太師屯鎮; pinyin: Tàishītún Zhèn) is a town located in the Miyun District of Beijing, China. Chao River, Qingshui River and Andamu River converge here before flowing into Miyun Reservoir. The town is situated on the south of Gaoling and Gubeikou Towns, west of Xinchengzi and Wulingshan Towns, northwest of Beizhuang and Dachengzi Towns, as well as northeast of Jugezhuang and Mujiayu Towns. According to the 2020 census, it was home to 22,388 inhabitants.

Prior to the Ming dynasty, this region had been the residence of the Court Astronomer, thus earned the name Taishitun (Chinese: 太史屯; lit. 'Court Astronomer's Village'). Later the name evolved into its current form.
