Xinyu, Prefecture-level city in Jiangxi Province, China

Xinyu spreads across 3,178 square kilometers in west-central Jiangxi, featuring a combination of urban development and natural landscapes with the Fairy Lake at its center.

The city originated as a county in 267 during the Three Kingdoms period and developed into a major urban center with over 50,000 inhabitants by the Jin dynasty.

The Fairy Lake area preserves the legend of Dong Yong and the Seventh Fairy through local celebrations, performances, and traditional storytelling events.

The Xinyu Steel Plant forms the industrial backbone of the city, providing employment opportunities and contributing substantially to the regional manufacturing sector.

The city changed its name twice, from Xinyu to Xinyu during the Tang dynasty, before receiving its current name Xinyu in 1957 by government decree.
