Zhoucheng Subdistrict from Dongping County, Tai'an Prefecture, Shandong Province, People's Republic of China, is situated in the central part of Dongping County.^[1] It is adjacent to the towns of Shahezhan and Xinhuzhen to the south, Dongping Subdistrict and Laohuzhen to the north, Pengji Subdistrict to the east, and Dongping Lake to the west. Zhoucheng Subdistrict administers 71 administrative villages, covering an area of 72 square kilometers, with a registered population of 61,559 people. It was established in 2010, replacing the former Zhoucheng Town.

In the third year of the Northern Song Dynasty's Xianping era (1000 AD), the original capital of Yun Prefecture, Xuchang City, was submerged, and the prefecture of Yun was moved to this location, which was then named Zhoucheng.^[2] Until 1982 when the county seat was moved from Zhoucheng to Houtun in Dongping Subdistrict, Zhoucheng served as the political, economic, and cultural center of Dongping County. It was home to various historical sites and relics, making it one of the key tourist destinations in Shandong Province.^[3] Additionally, Zhoucheng Subdistrict is the birthplace of Wan Li, one of the prominent leaders in the history of the People's Republic of China.^[4]
