Xigu District (Chinese: 西固区; pinyin: Xīgù Qū) is one of 5 districts of the prefecture-level city of Lanzhou, the capital of Gansu Province, Northwest China. It is the westernmost part of the city of Lanzhou proper. Until 1952, Xigu was part of Gaolan County as a township and in 1953 it was established as the fifth district level division of Lanzhou. During this period, as part of China's first five-year plan, the petrochemical industry was developed in the area.
