Xinhui,alternately romanized as Sunwui [lower-alpha 1] and also known as Kuixiang,is an urban district of Jiangmen in Guangdong,China. It grew from a separate city founded at the confluence of the Tan and West Rivers. It has a population of about 735,500,[ when? ] 98% of whom are Han Chinese but many of whom speak a dialect of Cantonese as their first language. Xinhui is best known in China for its chenpi ,a kind of dried Mandarin orange peel.
Xinhui is situated at the confluence of the Tan and West Rivers in the southwestern area of the Pearl River Delta. [5] It borders the South China Sea and adjoins Macao and Hong Kong. It comprises a total area of 1,387.02 square meters (14,929.8 sq ft).[ citation needed ] Geologists have shown that Xinhui originated as a shallow bay at the mouth of the Pearl River about 5000 years ago,with its southeastern portion consisting of a chain of islands. The movement of the Tan and West Rivers eventually formed a delta that became the present alluvial plain over the last nine hundred years.
Most of the present area of the Xinhui district formed during the historical period from silt deposited by the Tan and West Rivers. Some Neolithic artifacts,however,have been found in the district's territory over the last ten years,[ when? ] including shell mounds and pottery shards.
The former Gugang Prefecture was located in the area.[ citation needed ]Xinhui County administered the area of Jiangmen Town before being placed under Jiangmen's administration. It was later promoted to an urban district.
Xinhui District now forms a part of downtown Jiangmen. It comprises 10 towns,239 village commissions,25 community residents' committees,and 4 agencies.
