Xiaotangshan Town (simplified Chinese: 小汤山镇; traditional Chinese: 小湯山鎮; pinyin: Xiǎotāngshān Zhèn) is a small town in the Changping District of Beijing, China. It lies immediately outside Beijing's 6th Ring Road, to the north of the city. According to the 2020 census, Xiaotangshan was home to 80,273 inhabitants.
With a total area of 70.1 square kilometers, Xiaotangshan has rich geothermal resources, so much so that the name Xiaotangshan (Chinese: 小汤山; lit. 'Small Hot Spring Mountain') originated from its abundance of geothermal springs. Xiaotangshan Hospital appeared in the news in May 2003 when the government hastily built a 1000-bed field hospital there to deal with an outbreak of SARS.
