Fangcun District, Former administrative district in southwest Guangzhou, China.

The district extended along the southern bank of the Pearl River, forming a substantial part of Guangzhou's southwestern region with numerous residential areas.

Established in 1949 after the Chinese Communist Party gained control of Guangzhou, the district maintained its independent status until merging with Liwan District in 2005.

The district gained recognition as a major flower cultivation center, with numerous garden nurseries specializing in ornamental trees and plant production since the 9th century.

The area connects to central Guangzhou through the Huadiwan subway station, providing direct access to main transportation routes and commercial zones.

European botanists in the 19th century sourced various plant species from Fangcun's nurseries, contributing to the botanical collections across European gardens.
