Liuwu New Area or Niu New Area (སྣེའུ་གསར་པ་ཆུས།}, Chinese: 柳梧新区; pinyin: Liǔwú Xīnqū), or Niu Township, is a subdivision of Doilungdêqên of Lhasa, Tibet in Western China. The Liuwu New Area is located southwest of downtown Chengguan, the old center of Lhasa.

The Liuwu Bridge links central Lhasa to Lhasa Railway Station and the Liuwu New Area on the south bank of the Lhasa River. Residents in the Niu area were resettled to make way for the new development.[1] The 42 square kilometres (16 sq mi) "Liuwu New District" includes new residential buildings. The villagers, numbering almost 1,700, were moved into these buildings.
