Taishan, County-level city in Jiangmen, China

Located in southwest Guangdong province, Taishan extends over 3,286 square kilometers and includes one subdistrict with sixteen surrounding towns.

Established as Xinning County in 1499, Taishan received its current name in 1914 and gained county-level city status in April 1992.

The Taishanese dialect remains the primary language among local residents, while Mandarin serves in formal settings and administrative functions.

The Taishan railway station connects to major cities through high-speed trains, with regular services linking to Guangzhou and other regional centers.

Half a million Chinese Americans trace their ancestral roots to Taishan, leading to its designation as First Home of Overseas Chinese.
