History

[edit]

Haizhu District originally consisted ofHenanorHonam Island( "South of the River" ), across thePearl Riverfrom the old city ofGuangzhou(then known as "Canton" ).[2]Its main community was also known by the same name and surrounded theHoi Tong Monastery.

According to archaeological discoveries, there were inhabitants settled in the district around three thousand years to four thousand years ago. Western Han dynasty tombs and Eastern han dynasty tombs were often found in the region. From 1856 to 1859, trading companies associated with foreign traders under theCanton Systemtemporarily relocated to the district after theThirteen Factoriessite was destroyed in a fire.

Haizhu was once the largest district in Guangzhou, its southernmost and its least dense. With the expansion ofGuangzhou,it no longer holds any of these titles. Although less built-up thanLiwanandYuexiu Districts,Haizhu now has some of the most expensive real estate in the city.[citation needed]Its riverfront now has some of the tallest and most expensive residential buildings in Guangzhou.
