Xidian is a town in Ninghai County in eastern Zhejiang province, China,[1] abutting Xiangshan Harbour (Chinese: 象山港) to the east and about north of the county seat. It borders Fenghua to the north, Meilin Subdistrict (Chinese: 梅林街道) to the south, and Shenquan (Chinese: 深甽镇) to the west., it had one residential community (社区) and 11 villages under its administration.[2] In January 2010, Xidian was designated a satellite town of Ningbo, rendering it some county-level economic and social administrative rights,[3] though it is de jure a town, one level below the county.
Xidian's industrial output primarily consists of household electronics, educational materials, automotive spare parts, and in 2001, the town was the No. 1 producer of flashlights at the township-level.[4]
G15 Shenyang–Haikou Expressway has an exit, also designated as the northern exit for Ninghai County, in the town. The Ningbo–Taizhou–Wenzhou Railway also passes through the vicinity.
