Yuexiu District is one of 11 urban districts of the prefecture-level city of Guangzhou,the capital of Guangdong Province,China,located west of the Tianhe District and east of the Liwan District. It is the commercial,political and cultural centre of Guangdong [2] [ better source needed ] and noted for its high-quality education. [3] [ better source needed ][ needs update ] The area has served as a regional administrative center for nearly 2,000 years,and assumed its current boundaries in September 2005. [4] The Guangdong provincial government and the Guangzhou city government are both located in the Yuexiu District. Yuexiu District has 18 subdistricts under its jurisdiction. The total area is 33.8 square kilometres (13.1 sq mi). [5] According to the 2020 Chinese Census,the permanent population of Yuexiu District was 1,038,643. [6]
The name Yuexiu comes from Yuexiu Hill.
However,according to archaeological discoveries,it has been confirmed that there were inhabitants settled in Guangzhou region at least three to four thousand years ago.[ citation needed ] The area of present-day Yuexiu District was once the capital of the Nanyue Kingdom. [4] Thirty-three years after the incorporation of Lingnan into the Qin Empire,Qin Shi Huang forced most of the Yue tribes out of Guangzhou and assimilated the rest.[ citation needed ] In 111 BCE,the area was reorganized as Panyu County,within the Nanhai Commandery. [4] The area of present-day Yuexiu District served as the capital of both. [4]
The area would serve as the seat of government for numerous successive administrative divisions,including Lingnan Circuit and Xingwang Fu (Chinese :兴王府). [4] It would continue to form part of Panyu County until 1921,when the it merged with Nanhai County to create Yuexiu District,and placed under the jurisdiction of the city of Guangzhou. [4]
The area came under the control of the People's Republic of China on October 14,1949. [4] In December 1949,Guangzhou was divided into 28 different districts,with the area of present-day Yuexiu District including Xishan District (Chinese :西山区),Dexuan District (Chinese :德宣区),Huifu District (Chinese :惠福区),Jinghai District (Chinese :靖海区),Xiaobei District (Chinese :小北区),Taiping District (Chinese :太平区),Yonghan District (Chinese :永汉区),Dongshan District (Chinese :东山区) Dadong District (Chinese :大东区),and Qianjian District (Chinese :前鉴区). [4] In June 1950,Guangzhou consolidated its 28 districts into 16,resulting in the present-day area being including portions of Huifu District,Taiping District,Yonghan District,and Dadong District. [4] In September 1952,Guangzhou reorganized its urban area into just 6 districts:East District,West District,North District,Central District,Henan District,and Zhujiang District. [4] The former districts which once occupied present-day Yuexiu District were split between Central District,East District,and North District. [4] In July 1960,North District underwent an enlargement,and was renamed to Yuexiu District,while East District was renamed to Dongshan District. [4] In August 1961,five subdistricts from Yuexiu District were transferred to the jurisdiction of Dongshan District. [4] Slight adjustments to the border of Yuexiu District and Dongshan District would continue throughout the 1990s. [4]
In September 2005,Dongshan District was abolished and merged into Yuexiu District. [4]
Beginning in the late 1990s and early 2000s,a number of sub-Saharan Africans began to move to Guangzhou,many of whom settled area of Xiaobei, [7] within Yuexiu District. The area had already been inhabited by a number of Muslim internal migrants from Central and Northwest China since the 1980s. [7] Local crackdowns on visa overstays have sporadically taken place since the early 2010s. [7]
