Meixihu

Meixihu Subdistrict (Chinese: 梅溪湖街道; pinyin: Méixīhú Jiēdào) is a subdistrict of Yuelu District in Changsha, Hunan, China. It was formed from a part of Tianding Township (Chinese: 天顶乡) in April 2007. In 2016, Business Insider featured a photograph of Meixihu Lake sub-district taken in 2015, highlighting it as one of the large Chinese cities described as "completely empty of people." The photographer, Kai Caemmerer, noted the unique approach to urban development in China, where cities are constructed to a near-complete state before residents are introduced, contrasting with the incremental growth typically seen in U.S. cities. By 2020, the subdistrict covered an area of 20.2 square kilometers (7.8 sq mi) and a permanent population of 100,138, with 39,025 individuals holding local household registration.

Previously in 2010, the subdistrict had a permanent population of 8,071, including 4,972 with local household registration. By 2017, the subdistrict comprised two villages and six communities under its jurisdiction. Its seat is Jiashun Community (嘉顺社区). The subdistrict is the home and the core zone of Xiangjiang New Area.

Meixihu is the key area of the pilot zone development in the west of Xiang river.

Meixihu, which means "Meixi Lake", is in Xiangjiang new district, Changsha, Hunan province, between the second and third ring roads. Meixi Lake belongs to the Peach Blossom Ridge scenic area of Yuelu mountain. The tiger-shaped mountain is like a tiger at the foot of Yuelu peak. The dragon king harbor river and a tributary flow ahead.
