The Beijing Legation Quarter was the area in Beijing where a number of foreign legations were located between 1861 and 1959. In Chinese, the area is known as Dōng jiāomín xiàng (東交民巷), which is the name of the hutong (lane or small street) running through the area. It is located immediately to the east of Tiananmen Square.
