Houshayu Area (simplified Chinese: 后沙峪地区; traditional Chinese: 後沙峪地區; pinyin: Hòushāyù Dìqū) is an area and a town located on the western side of Shunyi District, Beijing, China. It shares border with Gaoliying Town in the north, Nanfaxin Town and Capital Airport Subdistrict in the east, Konggang Subdistrict in the south, and Beiqijia Town in the west. It had a population of 74,841 as of 2020.[1]

The town's name originated in the Yuan dynasty. At the time the settlement in this region was called Shayu (Chinese: 沙峪; lit. 'Sand Ravine') for its concaved landscape and being covered in sands. It was split into two villages in the Ming dynasty, and Houshayu became the predecessor of the town today.
