Qiongshan District, alternately romanized as Kiungshan, is a district in Haikou City, Hainan.

History

As Qiongzhou, formerly romanized as Kiungchow,^[a] the district was formerly a separate city which served as the center of Chinese administration on Hainan Island when it formed a part of Guangdong Province.^[1]

The British Consulate in Kiungchow was opened in April 1876, as a result of the Treaty of Tientsin in 1858.^[2]

Geography

Dongzhai Port Nature Reserve is located in the district and has an area of 2,500 hectares (6,200 acres). It includes six rivers, an irregular coastline, and a number of bays and tidewater gullies. The mangrove forest on the south coast provides a habitat for birds and other wildlife.^[3]

"But the first steps in opening the port had been taken and in 1876 a British consul was sent, the port being declared open on 1 April that year. Quite prudently, one of his first actions was to agree that there should be no settlement or concession yet; he chose instead to wait and see. Moreover, even though Kiungchow had no shops to speak of, there was a fair amount of trade being conducted by local merchants and it was not clear where the foreigners would fit in."
