Chenggong District(simplified Chinese:TrìnhCốngKhu;traditional Chinese:Trình cống khu;pinyin:Chénggòng Qū) is one of sevendistrictsof theprefecture-level cityofKunming,the capital ofYunnan Province,Southwest China,situated on east bank of theDian Lake.The name Chenggong is a transliteration of the Yi language word for a basin where rice is grown.[2]
History
[edit]It was first established in 1275. In 1961 it came under jurisdiction of Kunming city. In 2003 Chenggong was designated as a development zone of Kunming.[2]The district was created from the dissolution of the formerChenggong County(Trình cống huyện) by theState Councilon May 20, 2011,[3]
Chenggong is the chief zone for Kunming, the downtown of which is almost a 20-minute drive away. It is the site of the new Kunming City Hall, and new campuses forYunnan UniversityandYunnan Normal University.
Early in the district's redevelopment, much of the newly constructed housing in Chenggong was unoccupied and was reportedly one of the largest ghost towns in Asia in 2012, in a similar situation toOrdos Cityand theNew South China Mall.[4]It has slowly become occupied, however, in more recent years as Central Kunming has become overcrowded. Some Government departments moved to Chenggong in 2012,[5]anda subway lineconnecting Chenggong to the city centre opened in 2013. By 2017, the district had become home to many more offices and residents with more redevelopment still on the horizon.[6]
