Shaoguan, Prefecture-level city in northern Guangdong, China.
Shaoguan extends across a peninsula between the Wu and Zhen Rivers, which merge to form the North River within the mountainous terrain of Guangdong.
During World War II, this city served as the temporary capital of Guangdong Province after Japanese forces occupied the coastal regions in 1937.
The Dajian Monastery, established in 660, preserves the mummified remains of Huineng, the sixth patriarch of Zen Buddhism in Chinese history.
Three major districts form the urban core: Wujiang, Zhenjiang, and Qujiang, connected by an extensive network of roads and public transportation systems.
The region contains substantial mineral deposits, including iron ore, tungsten, and antimony, supporting metallurgical industries and power generation facilities.
