'''Shunyi District''' ({{zh|s=顺义区|p=Shùnyì Qū}}) is a district of Beijing. Shunyi borders the Beijing districts of Pinggu to the east, Tongzhou to the south, Chaoyang to the southwest, Changping to the west, Huairou to the north, and Miyun to the northeast, as well as Hebei province to the southeast.

Shunyi has large communities of foreign expatriates.<ref>Ren, Xuefei. "Territorial Expansion and State Rescaling: A Critique of Suburbanization Studies in China" (Chapter 15).

==Overview== Shunyi District has an area of {{convert|1020|km2|sp=us|abbr=on}} and a long-term resident population of approximately 983,000 as of 2013. The district is divided into 5 subdistricts of the city of Shunyi, the Airport subdistrict, and 19 towns. The urban area of Shunyi (2000 Census population 104,952 in Subdistricts) has an area of {{convert|19|km2|abbr=on}} and has an estimated urban area population of 190,000. Other important urban areas are Tianzhu/Jichang (55,000 estimated population, Jichang is an exclave of Chaoyang District surrounded by Shunyi District), Houshayu (45,000), Yangzhen (22,000), and Mapo (22,000).[https://harrysworldatlas.blogspot.com/2007/02/china-cn-beijing-metropolitan-province.html]

The Tianzhu Development Zone region abutting the airport to the west contains the largest international exhibition center in China, the China International Exhibition Center.

The International School of Beijing (ISB) is located in Shunyi District in the region known as the "Beijing Central Villas District" - the area immediately to the south of the new International Exhibition Center - and more particularly just north of Yosemite Villas. Across the road from ISB is the new campus of the British School of Beijing which moved to this location during the summer of 2009. From west to east, the villas include EuroVillage, River Garden, Le Leman Lake, Capital Paradise, Gahood, Yosemite and Dragon Bay Villa and Rose & Gingko. In addition to having many different housing complexes there are also several small shopping malls nearby including Europlaza, Pinnacle Plaza and Lakeview.

The Beijing 2008 Olympics rowing, canoeing, and kayaking events were held at the newly built Shunyi Olympic Rowing-Canoeing Park.

When Beijing Capital International Airport was first built, Shunyi was a subdistrict of Chaoyang. When Shunyi was promoted to full districtship, Chaoyang maintained direct control over the airport, so although the airport is ''completely'' surrounded by Shunyi district, it is not administratively in Shunyi; it pays its taxes to the Chaoyang government.

==Administrative divisions== Shunyi is subdivided into 6 subdistricts and 19 towns.<ref>{{Cite web |title=北京市民政局行政区划 2024年北京市行政区划名称和行政区划代码 |url=https://mzj.beijing.gov.cn/art/2025/1/6/art_9984_684678.html |access-date=2025-06-17 |website=mzj.beijing.gov.cn}}</ref>
