Jiaocheng (; Foochow Romanized: Ciĕu-siàng) is a district of Ningde, Fujian province, People's Republic of China. Also called Ningde Shiqu (宁德市区 - Ningde Centre), the district seats the municipality's executive, legislature and judiciary, together with its Communist Party and Public Security Bureau.
Jiaocheng is bordered by Xiapu and Pingnan counties to the east and west, Zhouning County and Fu'an City to the north, and to the south by Fuzhou municipality's Gutian and Luoyuan counties. A large deep-water bay Sandu Ao (Chinese: 三都澳) (Santuao) gives access to the East China Sea.[1]
The district oversees two subdistricts, one Development zone, ten towns and four townships, of which one is an ethnic township designated for the native She people.[2]
Both Subdistricts, the Ethnic Township and the towns of Feiluan, Chengnan, Qidu and Badu lie on National Route 104, connecting south to Fengshan and north to Fu'an City centre.
