Xingtai County (simplified Chinese: 邢台县; traditional Chinese: 刑台縣 or 邢臺縣; pinyin: Xíngtái Xiàn) was a former county administered by the prefecture-level city of the same name, in the southwest of Hebei province, China, bordering Shanxi province to the west. It surrounds the two core districts of Xingtai on all sides except the south, though its seat of government is located in neighbouring Qiaodong District. The county has a population of 450,000[when?] residing in an area of 1,983 km2 (766 sq mi). It's now split between Xindu and Xiangdu districts.
