Xinyu

Xinyu (Chinese: 新余; pinyin: Xīnyú, formerly 新喻; Xīnyú), is a prefecture-level city in west-central Jiangxi province, People's Republic of China.

Xinyu has a history of more than 1,700 years. It became a county in 267 during the Three Kingdoms period. In Jin dynasty, it became a major city in Southern China with a population of over 50,000. In the Tang dynasty, it was part of Yuanzhou (known as Yichun today). In 742, the city's name 'Xīnyú (新渝)' was mistaken for 'Xīnyù (新喻)'. The government of PRC changed the city's name as 'Xīnyú (新余)' in 1957.[citation needed]

Xinyu has an area of 3,178 km2 (1,227 sq mi). It has a four-season, monsoon-influenced humid subtropical climate. It can be very hot and rainy in summer. The city is located 135 km (84 mi) southwest of Nanchang, the provincial capital - about two and half hours away by car via highway. The city's main industry is the XinYu steel plant, which dominates the area.

Xinyu has direct jurisdiction over 1 urban district, scenic district, 1 development zone, 1 county, 17 towns, 15 townships, 2 sub-districts, 446 villages, and 51 communities.
