Taohong (Chinese :桃洪镇; pinyin :Táohóng Zhèn) is a town and the seat of Longhui County in Hunan, China. The town was established in 1942 [1] and reorganized through the amalgamation of Shimen Township (Chinese :石门乡), Yushanpu Town (Chinese :雨山铺镇) and the former Taohong Town on November 24, 2015.
Chinese is a group of related, but in many cases not mutually intelligible, language varieties, forming the Sinitic branch of the Sino-Tibetan language family. Chinese is spoken by the Han majority and many minority ethnic groups in China. About 1.2 billion people speak some form of Chinese as their first language.
Hanyu Pinyin, often abbreviated to pinyin, is the official romanization system for Standard Chinese in mainland China and to some extent in Taiwan. It is often used to teach Standard Mandarin Chinese, which is normally written using Chinese characters. The system includes four diacritics denoting tones. Pinyin without tone marks is used to spell Chinese names and words in languages written with the Latin alphabet, and also in certain computer input methods to enter Chinese characters.
A town is a human settlement. Towns are generally larger than villages but smaller than cities, though the criteria to distinguish them vary considerably between different parts of the world.
It is located in the middle part of southern Longhui County, the town is bordered by Hexiangqiao Town (Chinese :荷香桥镇) and Tantou Town (Chinese :滩头镇) to the north, by Zhouwang Town (Chinese :周旺镇) to the west, by Beishan Town (Chinese :北山镇), Shanjie Township (Chinese :山界回族乡) and Sangesi Town (Chinese :三阁司镇) to the south, by Nanyuemiao Town (Chinese :南岳庙镇) to the west. The town has an area of 263.69 km2 (101.81 sq mi) with a population of 202,400 (as of 2015). Through the merging villages and communities in 2016, its subdivisions were reduced to 76 from 139. [2] As of 2018 [update] it has 60 villages and 16 residential communities under its jurisdiction. [3] Its seat is Xinlong Community (Chinese :新隆社区). [4]
