Enping, alternately romanized as Yanping,[a] is a county-level city in Guangdong province, China, administered as part of the prefecture-level city of Jiangmen.
Enping administers an area of 1,698 km2 (656 sq mi) and had an estimated population of 483,907 in 2020.[3] Its diaspora accounts for over 400,000 overseas Chinese, particularly in the Americas. It is notably the primary ancestral home for the majority of the Chinese in Venezuela, with an estimated 90% of that country's Chinese population originating from the city.[4] The area around Enping is known for its many hot springs.
Geography
Enping is located in southwest Guangdong, at the western edge of the Pearl River Delta and beside the South China Sea. Enping borders Kaiping to the northeast and Yangjing to the southwest.
History
Enping County was established in AD 220. Under the Qing, it made up part of the commandery of ZhaoqingLua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. and was one of the Four Counties responsible for much of the early Chinese diaspora from Guangdong in the 19th century.
Academic studies by Gao Weinong indicate that Venezuela serves as the primary global destination for the Enping diaspora.[5] The migration is characterized by strong chain-migration networks, with early settlers establishing a foundation in the grocery and restaurant sectors that allowed subsequent generations to migrate. By the early 21st century, the Enping community formed the vast majority of the Chinese population in Venezuela, maintaining deep cultural and economic ties through various hometown associations (*tongxianghui*).[4] Migrants from Enping and their families make up about 200,000 of the country's estimated 400,000 Chinese. Emigration to Venezuela occurred primarily in the decades including and following the World Wars, with the largest batch leaving at the end of the Cultural Revolution in the late 1970s. Enping was made a county-level city in 1994. The Enping financial crisis later in the decade led to a massive scandal and the loss of financial services in the city.
Administrative divisions
Enping comprises 10 towns, 3 sub-district offices, 4 farms and stations, and 174 village neighborhood committees.
