Dongdan is a crossing on Beijing's Chang'an Avenue and also a part of eastern central Beijing.

In the Dongdan region one finds the Oriental Plaza, and Dongdan North Street, termed "silver street" for being next to (and slightly inferior to) Wangfujing Street. Like Wangfujing, Dongdan is also home to many shops.

The Beijing Subway has a Line 1 stop at Dongdan. Line 5, which is under construction, will also stop at Dongdan.
