Haifeng County

Haifeng County is an administrative division in Shanwei along the southeastern coast of Guangdong Province. The territory spans around 1,783 square kilometers and includes sixteen towns, with Haicheng serving as its main center.

The area played an important role in Chinese history when the first Chinese Soviet government was established here in 1927. This development linked the region's control with neighboring Lufeng during a significant political moment.

Local residents speak Southern Min dialects connected to Zhangzhou, while Hakka-speaking communities also live here. This linguistic variety shows how different groups settled and stayed in the area over time.

The region sits at just 9 meters above sea level and follows China Standard Time as its official time zone. The postal code 516400 helps with regional communications and makes it easier for visitors to navigate the area.

Two national monuments, the Red Palace and the Red Square, stand within the county's boundaries. These sites mark China's early Soviet period and attract visitors interested in exploring this chapter of the country's past.
