Shapingba is one of Chongqing's main districts. It borders Jiulongpo to the south, Bishan to the west and Beibei to the north. The district itself is on the west bank of the Jialing River.
History[edit]

In the early 1930s, Shapingba District belonged to Baxian First District, the government was located at Ciqikou (Longyin Town) in the ancient section of town. During the period of the Second Sino-Japanese War, the Chiang Kai-shek’s government moved to Chongqing, and a large number of schools, factories and medical institutions settled in Shapingba. On February 6, 1938, the Chongqing University, the Sichuan College of Education, the Chongqing Nankai Middle School, the Chongqing Electrical Steel Works and several institutions relocated to Shapingba from Beijing, Shanghai or Nanjing such as the National Central University, China Radio International, and the Academia Sinica.

- ^ According to "《
通用 规范汉字表 》解 读" (An Interpretation of the Table of General Standard Chinese Characters), 坝 was merged from two different Traditional Chinese characters: 垻 and 壩. The definition of 垻 is "平地 （沙 坪 坝） flat land (Shapingba)", while 壩 means "dam" or "dike", showing that the traditional form of沙 坪 坝 should be沙 坪 垻. In addition, the ancient dictionary Guangyun defines 垻 as蜀 人 謂 平川 爲 垻 (Sichuan people call flat land "垻"). - ^ shi, Guo wu yuan ren kou pu cha ban gong; council, Guo jia tong ji ju ren kou he jiu ye tong ji si bian = Tabulation on the 2010 population census of the people's republic of China by township / compiled by Population census office under the state; population, Department of; statistics, employment statistics national bureau of (2012).
