Heshun Town (Chinese: 和顺镇; pinyin: Héshùn Zhèn) is an ancient town in Tengchong City, located four kilometers southwest of the city centre in Yunnan, China. The town's ancient name is Yangwendun (阳温墩; Yángwēndūn) which was changed to Heshun (河顺; Héshùn) and eventually the name it bears today. Heshun is well known for its quadrangle courtyards that have been built into the town's hills.
