From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
District in Guangdong, People's Republic of China
Zengcheng District (alternately romanized as Tsengshing)[a] is one of 11 urban districts of the prefecture-level city of Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong Province, China.
Zengcheng County was established under the Qin following their conquest of the area, formerly held by the Baiyue tribes. Under the Ming, the northern area of the county was separated to form Longmen County, administered from Huizhou. The county was promoted to city status in 1993. In 2006, a western section of Zengcheng was severed to form Guangzhou's Luogang District, which was renamed Huangpu in 2014. On 12 February of the same year, Zengcheng was annexed to Guangzhou as a district.[3] A riot of migrant workers occurred in Zengcheng in 2011.
Zengcheng's mild climate, fertile land, annual average temperature of 22.02 degrees and average yearly rainfall of 1,967 millimetres (77.4 in) make it suitable for tropical and subtropical crop growth. The district is noted for production of the lychee.

There are currently 6 subdistricts and 7 towns.
On 28 August 2012 one new subdistrict (Yongning) and one new town (Xiancun) were established from carving out of Xintang.[6]
Owing to the distance from Guangzhou's city center, many locals consider themselves distinct from the other Guangzhounese. They also speak separate Yue and Hakka dialects.[8]
