History
Zengcheng was a county and it was established in Qin Dynasty, having a history of more than 2100 years. During the Ming Dynasty, because the area of Zengcheng county was too big for the empire to control, the emperor cut the north part out of the county to form Longmen county, which then was administered from to Huizhou city.
In 1993 the central Chinese government promoted Zengcheng county to Zengcheng city. In 2006 The small west part of Zengcheng became the Luogang district of Guangzhou City, which was then renamed to Huangpu district in 2014. Despite this status as a district, the people of Zengcheng district consider themselves as part of Zengcheng, rather than part of Guangzhou; this is in part because of the great distance between Zengcheng and downtown Guangzhou (100km). Moreover, before the 20th century, many people from Zengcheng had never even visited Guangzhou[4] Moreover, those from Zengcheng speak a different Yue dialect or Hakka than those of Guangzhou.
Climate
Zengcheng's mild climate, fertile land, annual average temperature of 22.2 degrees and average yearly rainfall of 1,869 millimetres (73.6 in) make it suitable for tropical and subtropical crop growth. The district is noted for production of the lychee.
