Tsinghua Street in Beijing

Tsinghua Street is located in Dongcheng District of Beijing, not in Haidian. 📍It starts from the east at Ciqikou Street and stretches to Luban Hutong in the west. Tsinghua Street runs from east to west and is a very long alley. The street was named after Qinghua Temple, and during the Qing Dynasty, it was called Qinghua Temple Street; later, it was homophonically changed to Tsinghua Street. 🔘Most of the residential buildings in the alleys towards the eastern part bear the mark of temples.

This includes courtyards No. 5 and No. 9 on Tsinghua Street. 🔘There used to be a Ksitigarbha Temple on this street. The current location is a police station.
