Songpu Subdistrict is a subdistrict of Songbei District, Harbin, Heilongjiang, China.[1][2] It is located in the north of Harbin city, on the north bank of the Songhua River, 5 kilometers from the city center.[3] The area of Songpu is 59.74 kilometres (37.12 mi),[4] and the population is about 35,000.[4]
The meaning of Songpu is the wharf of Songhua River.[citation needed]
Songpu is located on the north bank of the Songhua River.[3] At the east and south the north is Limin of Hulan, while in the west is Qianjin and Binzhou Railway.[citation needed]
The subdistrict has four train stations on the Binbei Railway: New Songpu Station (Chinese: 新松浦站), Miaotaizi Station (Chinese: 庙台子站), North Songpu Station (Chinese: 北松浦站), and Songbei Station (Chinese: 松北站).[3]
Major motorways which run through Songpu Subdistrict include National Highway 202, the Harbin-Heihe Expressway, and the Harbin-Daqing Expressway.[5]
In 1850, it was named Majiachuankou (Chinese: 马家船口, literally the wharf of Ma clan) when the wharf was owned by the Ma family.[3] It became a small town, so on December 15, 1912, the governor of Heilongjiang Province ordered that the city council meet at Majiachuankou (马家船口市政局) which belonged to Hulan County.[citation needed]
The next year, it changed its name to Songbei city council (松北市政局).[citation needed] In 1925, it changed its name to Songpu city council (松浦市政局), and became part of Harbin special city in 1933.[citation needed] It became Songpu District in 1938.[6]
In 1953, Songpu District had two townships, Songpu (Chinese: 松浦) and Xinxing (Chinese: 新兴), and two subdistricts, Tangchang (Chinese: 糖厂) and Chuankou (Chinese: 船口).[7][8] In 1958, Songpu District was momentarily merged into Binjiang District, but Binjiang District was cancelled.[9] Songpu township was then place in Daowai District. Songpu became a people's commune.[citation needed]
In 1979, Daowai restored all the subdistricts, and set more two subdistricts: Zhenjiang (Chinese: 振江) and Chuankou (Chinese: 船口). In 1983, Songpu again became a township. In 1985, Songpu became a town,[3] and Chuankou Subdistrict was merged into Songpu Town.[9][10]
In 2004, Songpu belonged to Songbei District. In November, the Harbin government approved Songpu as a subdistrict.[3][2]
In 2017, Chuankou Subdistrict became split off from Songpu.[citation needed] Chuankou took two residential communities, Chuankou (Chinese: 船口) and Guangxin Xincheng (Chinese: 广信新城), and three villages, Taiyangsheng (Chinese: 太阳升), Dongming (Chinese: 东明), and Dengta (Chinese: 灯塔) from Songpu.[citation needed]
Songpu Subdistrict administers 5 residential communities and 6 administrative villages.[11] The subdistrict's residential communities are Tangchang (糖厂), Changshengyuan (常盛源), Bei'anqicheng (北岸启程), Beianxinghecheng (北岸兴和城), and Fulicheng (富力城).[11] The subdistrict's administrative villages are Songpu (松浦), Songhuajiang (松花江), Dongfanghong (东方红), Hongxing (红星), Xinhua (新华) and Liming (黎明).[11]
Numerous factories are located in Songpu Subdistrict, such as the Harbin Sugar Factory and Harbin Ship Factory.[8]
