Yangfang Town (simplified Chinese: 阳坊镇; traditional Chinese: 陽坊鎮; pinyin: Yángfāng Zhèn) is a town situated on southwestern Changping District, Beijing, China. Bounded by part of Taihang Mountain Range to the west, Yangfang shares a border with Machikou Town in the north, Shangzhuang Town in the east, Sujiatuo Town in the south, and Liucun Town in the west. The population of Yangfang Town was 26,470 as of 2020.[1]
The town originally took the name of Yangfang (Chinese: 羊坊; lit. 'Sheep Shop') for its past location as a stopping point for trading caravans and sheep herders. Later the name was corrupted to Yangfang (Chinese: 阳坊) under the Republic of China.[2]
