2006 August 25, Xubo Jiang, “Amateur radio enthusiasts search for missing mum”, in Beijing Review, number 273, →ISSN, →OCLC, page 2, column 1:

Tiantongyuan (天通苑) is an apartment complex and neighborhood in northern Beiing’s Changping District that was established in 1999.

Residents of Tiantongyuan all have access to a website called Jiazhu Tiantongyuan (家住天通苑), which means "living in Tiantongyuan."

2011, Eric Gordon, Adriana de Souza e Silva, “Globalization”, in Net Locality: Why Location Matters in a Networked World, Wiley-Blackwell, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, page 163:

Another key event was the spontaneous mobilization of the Tiantongyuan neighbourhood in greater Beijing in 2008, which was an effort to modify the route plan of line no.5 of the Beijing subway system so that the neighbourhood could be more conveniently connected.

2011, Chunrong Liu, “Contested ground: community and neighbourhood”, in Xiaowei Zang, editor, Understanding Chinese Society, Routledge, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, page 72:

Nevertheless, China’s investment in subway systems is overwhelmingly positive. And there are also encouraging signs, too, that Chinese cities are beginning to shape urban development around public transport hubs. For example, Tiantongyuan, a high-density community of giant housing blocks in the suburbs of northern Beijing, has three subway stations.
