Fenghuangshan Subdistrict (simplified Chinese: 凤凰山街道; traditional Chinese: 鳳凰山街道; pinyin: Fènghuángshān Jiēdào; lit. 'phoenix mountain subdistrict') is a subdistrict in Baota District, Yan'an, Shaanxi, China. As of 2010, the subdistrict has a population of 44,294.

History

The area of contemporary Fenghuangshan Subdistrict is home to a series of centuries old yaodong complexes, most notably, Zhenxilou (Chinese: 镇西楼), which was built into the subdistrict's eponymous Fenghuang Mountain (Chinese: 凤凰山) by Fan Zhongyan during the Northern Song dynasty.

From January 13, 1937 to November 1938, during the Chinese Civil War, the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party was based out of the foothills of Fenghuang Mountain.

The division was established as the Fenghuangshan People's Commune (Chinese: 凤凰山公社; pinyin: Fènghuángshān Gōngshè) in March 1972. Fenghuangshan was changed to a subdistrict in September 1984, as people's communes were being phased out.
