In 628, the second year of the Zhenguan era, villagers of Jihua township in Nanhai County unearthed three bronze Buddha statues at Tapo Hill and renamed the township “Foshan”; the name has been recorded ever since[^gz-gov-2023]. In the Ming and Qing dynasties the town of Foshan was counted, together with Hankou in Hubei, Jingdezhen in Jiangxi and Zhuxianzhen in Henan, among the “Four Great Towns” of China[^gz-gov-2023]. In 1920 the seat of Nanhai County moved to Foshan[^gz-gov-2023]. In December 2002 the county-level cities of Nanhai, Shunde, Gaoming and Sanshui were converted into districts, giving Foshan its “one city, five districts” structure[^bayarea-foshan].\n\n## Geography\n\nFoshan is a prefecture-level city of Guangdong[^mca2023], located in the core of the Pearl River Delta and adjoining Guangzhou[^gz-plan-2021].

In 2020 the population was 9.499 million[^wikidata].\n\n## Economy\n\nIn 2024 the city's GDP was 1.3362 trillion yuan, with the three sectors accounting for 1.8%, 50.3% and 47.9%[^foshan-gov-2024]. GDP grew by 6.1% a year on average between 2013 and 2024, and per-capita GDP reached the 130,000 yuan level in 2024[^foshan-gov-2024]. The number of industrial enterprises above designated size passed 10,000 in 2024, and advanced manufacturing made up 52.5% of their value added[^foshan-gov-2024]. The private sector generates more than 60% of GDP and more than 90% of market entities; by 2024 the city had 1.71 million market entities[^foshan-gov-2024].\n\n## Culture\n\nFoshan has 15 national, 56 provincial and 155 municipal intangible cultural heritage items (2024)[^mct-2024]. Cantonese opera (Yueju) is inscribed on UNESCO's intangible cultural heritage list, and Chancheng District hosts the Guangdong Cantonese Opera Museum, built around Cantonese opera, Shiwan ceramic sculpture and related traditions[^mct-2024]. Wing Chun was added to the fifth national list of intangible cultural heritage items in 2021[^foshan-gov-yongchun-2021]. Foshan is known as “China's City of Martial Arts” and as a major birthplace of southern martial arts; kung fu, lion dance and dragon boat racing are signature cultural symbols[^foshan-gov-wushu-2026]. Shunde District is one of the birthplaces of Cantonese cuisine and was designated a UNESCO City of Gastronomy in 2014[^unesco-shunde]. Shiwan pottery, xiangyunsha (gambiered Canton silk), lion dance and martial arts, Shunde cuisine and the Dijiao dragon boat are representative intangible heritage assets[^foshan-gov-intangible-2026].\n\n## Transport\n\nThe Guangfo Line opened on 3 November 2010 as China's first underground intercity rail line and Foshan's first metro line[^gh-metro-2025]. Foshan West railway station opened in 2017, and the Foshan West–Guangzhou South section of the Guangfo intercity loop opened in 2024[^foshan-metro-3]. Metro Line 3 links Foshan West station and Foshan Shadi Airport with the wider network[^foshan-metro-3]. In 2024 the Pearl River Delta Hub (Guangzhou New) Airport was approved and Foshan Shadi Airport opened the world's first modular terminal building; by the end of 2023 the city's expressway network reached 560 km[^foshan-gov-2024].\n\nMetro lines[^cptond]:\n\n- [[concept_foshan_metro_line_nanhaiyouguidianche1haoxian|Foshan Nanhai Tram Line 1]]\n- [[concept_foshan_metro_line_2|Line 2 (Foshan Metro)]]\n- [[concept_foshan_metro_line_3|Line 3 (Foshan Metro)]]", "url": "/places/foshan.html", "lang": "en", "availableLangs": [ "zh", "ar", "de", "en", "es", "fr", "hi", "id", "it", "ja", "ko", "ms", "nl", "pt", "ru", "tr", "zh-hant" ], "disambiguation": "Guangdong", "placeKind": "prefecture-level city", "coordinates": { "latitude": 23.029167, "longitude": 113.105556 }, "adminArea": "People's Republic of China · Guangdong · Foshan" }, { "id": "place_guanting_reservoir", "type": "place", "title": "官厅水库", "slug": "guanting-reservoir", "summary": "位于北京、河北交界地区的水库，水源保护区由北京市和河北省共同划定。", "status": "published", "categories": [ "category-geography" ], "tags": [], "sources": [ { "id": "protection_2018", "title": "北京市人民政府 河北省人民政府关于划定官厅水库水源保护区的通知", "author": "北京市人民政府、河北省人民政府", "date": "2018-03-10", "url": "https://www.beijing.gov.cn/zhengce/zhengcefagui/201905/t20190522_61002.html" }, { "id": "agency_profile", "title": "北京市水利工程管理中心机构信息", "author": "北京市水务局", "url": "https://swj.beijing.gov.cn/zwgk/jgxx/ssjg/202404/t20240403_3609968.html" } ], "createdAt": "2026-10-28", "updatedAt": "2026-10-28", "updatedBy": "api_token", "revision": 1, "body": "官厅水库是北京市和河北省共同划定水源保护区的水库。2018年两地政府文件划定的一级水源保护区面积为103.98平方公里，二级保护区面积为42.7平方公里，分别涉及北京市延庆区和河北省怀来县；这些数字是保护区范围，而非水库水面面积。[^protection_2018]\n\n北京市官厅水库管理处负责管辖范围内水利工程运行、水资源调度和保护、洪水防御等事务。[^agency_profile]", "url": "/places/guanting-reservoir.html", "lang": "en", "fallback": true, "availableLangs": [ "zh" ], "placeKind": "水库" }, { "id": "place_japan_country", "type": "place", "title": "Japan", "slug": "japan", "summary": "An island nation in East Asia made up of 47 prefectures, with a developed rail network centered on the Shinkansen.", "status": "published", "categories": [ "category-geography", "category-history" ], "tags": [ "tag-admin-division" ], "sources": [ { "id": "ja-wiki", "title": "日本", "url": "https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC", "locator": "日本語ウィキペディア・公式サイト, 2026-10-28確認" } ], "createdAt": "2026-10-28", "updatedAt": "2026-10-28", "updatedBy": "user:admin", "revision": 17, "body": "## Overview\n\nJapan is an island nation in East Asia comprising the four main islands of Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu plus some 14,000 islands.
