城北

城北 refers to the northern part of a city. It is commonly used to describe a specific area within a city, often in geographical or directional contexts.

The character 城 (chéng) means 'city,' and 北 (běi) means 'north.' Together, they form a compound noun that specifies a location relative to the center or boundaries of a city.

城北 is frequently used in addresses, maps, and local references. For example, it might be found in street names or district divisions. Understanding this term helps in navigating urban areas in China and recognizing regional distinctions.
