Xidian, Zhejiang

Xidian (Chinese: 西店; pinyin: xīdiàn) is a town in Ninghai County in eastern Zhejiang province, China,[1] abutting Xiangshan Harbour (象山港) to the east and about 20 kilometres (12 mi) north of the county seat. It borders Fenghua to the north, Meilin Subdistrict (梅林街道) to the south, and Shenquan (深甽镇) to the west. As of 2011, it had one residential community (社区) and 11 villages under its administration.[2] In January 2010, Xidian was designated a satellite town of Ningbo, rendering it some county-level economic and social administrative rights,[3] though it is de jure a town, one level below the county.
