From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about a geographic location in Beijing. For the brief Khitan kingdom, see Dongdan Kingdom.

Dongdan (Chinese: 东单; Pinyin: Dōngdān) 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 stop at Dongdan for both Line 1 and Line 5.
