Phoenix New City or Phoenix New Town () is a special district of Tangshan, China that is largely residential and includes several upscale apartment blocks. It is described by various tourism websites as an eco-oriented urban township situated adjacent to the city's financial and commercial district.
The name is likely a reference to the city's near-total destruction during the 1976 earthquake, one of the deadliest natural disasters in China. Tangshan is one of China's oldest industrial bases.
Part of Phoenix New Town includes the Tangshan Kerry property, a mixed-use development project featuring a shopping mall, park, and Shangri-La Hotel. The project was a $1.07 billion venture by the Hong Kong Kerry Group and three partner groups.
