Hexi District (simplified Chinese: 河西区; traditional Chinese: 河西區; pinyin: Héxī Qū; lit. 'west of the (Hai) River")' is a district in the south-western corner of urban Tianjin, People's Republic of China. It is bordered by Heping District in the north-west, Hedong District to the north-east, and Nankai District to the west. As of 2020, the district has a total population of 822,174.[1]

History

During the Northern Song dynasty, this area was on the border with Jin, and belonged to the Hechi county. In 1110 it was transferred into Jinghai county, before got merged into Qianning county 3 years later. Following the Jingkang incident, Qianning county was ceded to Jin dynasty, who reinstated Jinghai county.

The region remained under the same administrative division through Yuan and Ming dynasty. In 1731, the Qing government combined it into the newly created Tianjin county.

In 1895, a portion of the region was ceded to Germany as concession. The concession was taken back by the Beiyang government in 1917, and made into the first special district. During the Japanese occupation, part of the first district was made into the sixth district in 1938, the first special district was renamed the tenth district in 1943, and later combined into the sixth district in 1944.

In 1956, People's Republic of China renamed the sixth district as the current Hexi district. During the Cultural Revolution, Hexi district was changed to Hongqi (Chinese: 红旗; lit. 'Red Flag') district from 1966 to 1968.[2]
