Qiongjiang Xi ( Chinese  琼浆 溪 , Pinyin Qióngjiāng Xī ) is the name of a stream on the Stansbury Peninsula of Nelson Island , one of the South Shetland Islands . It rises from a spring pool on the western slope of the Taiyang Mountain ( 太阳 山 , Tàiyáng Shān  - "Sun Mountain " ) and flows in a winding course to the Cèhuìxuézhě Wān Bay ( 测绘 学者 湾  - "Cartographers Bay " ) on the west coast of the peninsula.

Chinese scientists named him in early 1986 when evaluating aerial photographs.
