Xiaolan
Xiaolan (simplified Chinese: 小榄镇; traditional Chinese: 小欖鎮; pinyin: Xiǎolǎn Zhèn; Jyutping: Siu2 Laam5 Zan3) is a town situated at the northwest periphery of the city of Zhongshan, Guangdong Province, China.
Per a 2020 publication by the Zhongshan government, Xiaolan has approximately 333,000 permanent residents, but has just 181,988 registered hukou residents as of 2018. The town spans an area of 71.47 square kilometres (27.59 sq mi).
According to some historical imperial records,[which?] a concubine of emperor Song Duzong of the Southern Song dynasty, eloped from the palace to pursue her true love.[citation needed] The concubine fled south until she finally arrived in Xiaolan, where she was able to lose the imperial guards who were in pursuit of her.[citation needed] When she arrived in Xiaolan, the concubine and her helpers were so attracted to the area's landscape, which was scattered with yellow chrysanthemum flowers, that they decided to take up residence there.[citation needed]
In June 2010, a strike broke out at a Honda Lock plant in Xiaolan, with workers demanded a wage increase from 930 RMB per month to 1,600 RMB per month. Reuters reported that striking workers were intimidated by police forces, and published an image which appeared to depict riot police being deployed near the factory on June 11. In response, the plant's managers began hiring scabs in response to the strike, and offered monthly pay increases of 200 RMB. By July 2010, many of the plant's striking workers returned for such pay rise, while others quit in search of work elsewhere.
As of 2020, Xiaolan is divided into 15 residential communities.
Xiaolan is home to over 40,000 individual enterprises, of which, over 14,000 are manufacturing enterprises. Over 99% of the firms in Xiaolan are privately owned. Major brands headquartered in Xiaolan include Vatti, Luxking Group Holdings Limited, Chant Group (Chinese: 长青集团; pinyin: Chángqīng Jítuán), and Forest Lighting (Chinese: 木林森照明; pinyin: Mùlínsēn Zhàomíng). The city is a cluster for a number of industries, including hardware, underwear manufacturing, audio devices, locks, and lighting.
Agriculture is the main industry in the primary sector found in Xiaolan Town.[citation needed] The town is well known for its Chrysanthemum plants, and is often called “Chrysanthemum City” (Chinese: 菊城; pinyin: Jú Chéng), according to the town's government.
From October to November every year, Xiaolan hosts a chrysanthemum festival along its major streets and parks.[citation needed] The show features about 100,000 pots of over a thousand varieties.[citation needed] Every 60 years, a grand chrysanthemum exhibition will be held in Xiaolan.[citation needed]
