Sanshui District,formerlyromanizedasSamshui,[a]is anurban districtof theprefecture-level cityofFoshaninGuangdongprovince, China. It had a population of 622,645 as of the 2010 census.[2]It is known for the "Samsui women",emigrants who labour inSingapore,and for a large fireworks explosion in 2008.
History
[edit]According to archaeology sites discovered within the region, there were human beings inhabited in the town of Baini (Bạch nê trấn) Sanshui District about four thousand years ago. Sanshui County was established in the fifth year ofJiajing(1526) in the Ming Dynasty. It was merged intoNanhai Countyin 1959, revoked and restored in 1960, and reorganized into acounty-level cityin 1993. In 2002, it was reorganized into a district and belonged to Foshan City.[3]
In February 2008, twenty fireworks warehouses exploded in Sanshui. In total over 15,000 cartons of fireworks were set off over a period of 24 hours. The loss of inventory was extensive enough that U.S. markets faced real shortages of supply.

Economy
[edit]Oil, coal, and slate are found in the surrounding area. However, Sanshui is also an important producer of food for Guangdong Province, especially fruit. The mainstay of the former city's economy was theJianlibao Company,which produced a soft drink made from oranges and honey. During the 1990s, Jianlibao was a popular drink throughout China and it even made it into theHong Kongmarket. However, embezzlement by the company's senior management has reduced its success. Despite Sanshui's proximity toGuangzhouand otherPearl River Deltacities, it remains a relatively poor place with many people only earning a few hundred yuan a month.

[edit]Sanshui is on the railway line fromGuangzhoutoMaoming.The district is served byG15 Shenyang–Haikou Expressway(which provides access toKaipingand the southern suburbs of Foshan),G55 Erenhot–Guangzhou Expressway(which provides direct access to downtown Guangzhou),China National Highway 321(which provides access toZhaoqing) andChina National Highway 324.
