Enping, alternately romanized as Yanping,[a] is a county-level city in Guangdong province, China, administered as part of the prefecture-level city of Jiangmen.

Enping administers an area of 1,698 km2 (656 sq mi) and had an estimated population of 460,000 in 2005. Its diaspora accounts for around 420,000 overseas Chinese, particularly in the Americas.[citation needed] The area around Enping is known for its many hot springs.

Geography edit

Enping is located in southwest Guangdong, at the western edge of the Pearl River Delta and beside the South China Sea. Enping borders Kaiping to the northeast and Yangjing to the southwest.

History edit

Enping County was established in AD 220. Under the Qing, it made up part of the commandery of Zhaoqing[1] and was one of the Four Counties responsible for much of the early Chinese diaspora from Guangdong in the 19th century. Many overseas Chinese trace their ancestry to Enping, particularly among the Chinese in Venezuela. Migrants from Enping and their families make up about 200,000 of the country's estimated 400,000 Chinese. Emigration to Venezuela occurred primarily in the decades including and following the World Wars, with the largest batch leaving at the end of the Cultural Revolution in the late 1970s. Enping was made a county-level city in 1994. The Enping financial crisis later in the decade led to a massive scandal and the loss of financial services in the city.

Administrative divisions edit

Enping comprises 10 towns, 3 sub-district offices, 4 farms and stations, and 174 village neighborhood committees.
