Dongshan District, Guangzhou, Former administrative district in Guangzhou, China
The district occupied a central location between Tianhe District to the east and what is now Yuexiu District to the west in Guangzhou.
Established in 1960 as a separate administrative zone, Dongshan District merged with Yuexiu District in 2005, marking the end of its independent status.
Western-style architecture from missionary developments, including churches, schools, and hospitals, shaped the district's landscape during the early 20th century.
The district contained numerous educational institutions and residential areas, making it an important center for academic pursuits in Guangdong Province.
The district earned recognition through a local expression 'Dongshan gentlemen,' referring to the modern, cosmopolitan nature of its male residents.
