Guancheng, Zhengzhou

Guancheng District (Chinese: 管城区; pinyin: Guǎnchéng Qū), or Guancheng Hui District (Chinese: 管城回族区; pinyin: Guǎnchéng Huízú Qū; Xiao'erjing: قُوًاچْع خُوِذُو ٿُو), is one of 6 built-up or urban districts of the prefecture-level city of Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan Province, China.

The ancient Shang Dynasty city of Ao [zh] existed within the location of the present-day Guancheng Hui District. Dating back to sometime between 1600 BCE and 1100 BCE, the location of Ao's ruins now lie within Shang City Park.

The city of Zhengzhou was captured by the People's Liberation Army in 1948.

In 1958, Guancheng Hui District was established after the merger of Longhai District (Chinese: 陇海区) and Jinshui Hui District (Chinese: 金水回族区).

In May 1966, Guancheng Hui District was re-designated as Xiangyang District (Chinese: 向阳区). Along with the district's name change, various subdistricts within it were renamed.

In November 1981, it was re-designated as Xiangyang Hui District (Chinese: 向阳回族区).

In 1983, the district returned to its original name, Guancheng Hui District, which it remains named as today. Various subdistricts within the district which were renamed during the Cultural Revolution reverted to their original names.

Guancheng Hui District has an elevation ranging from about 100 metres (330 ft) to 140 metres (460 ft) above sea level.
