Jianshan Subdistrict (Chinese: 尖山街道; pinyin: Jiānshān Jiēdào) is a subdistrict located on the center of Hexi District, Tianjin, China. It borders Yuexiu Road and Guajiasi Subdistricts in its north, Chentangzhuang and Donghai Subdistricts in its east, Taihu Road and Meijiang Subdistricts in its south, and Youyi Road Subdistrict in its west. In the year 2010, 91,767 inhabitants were counted for this subdistrict.[1]

The name Jianshan (Chinese: 尖山; lit. 'Pointy Mountain') came from two villages that used to exist within the region during the Ming and Qing dynasties, both of which were situated on top of a hill compared to the low-lying landscape of their surrounding.[2]
