Extended information

Wanning City is located in the east-southeast of Hainan Province, bordering the South China Sea in the east, Qiongzhong County in the west, Lingshui County in the southeast and qionghai city in the north. Wanning City belonged to Zibei County, Zhuya County in the Han Dynasty. In the fifth year of Zhenguan in Tang Dynasty (AD 631), wanan county was demolished in Pingchang County, belonging to Qiongzhou; In the second year of Longshuo (662), Wan 'an Prefecture was added; The first year of Tianbao (? In 742), the state was changed to a county; In the second year of Zhide (757), Wan 'an was changed to "Wanquan County".

Wanning County was established in the seventh year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1137). In the 13th year of Shaoxing (1143), the Wanan Army was restored. In the third year of Ming Hongwu (137), it was renamed Wanzhou. It was not until the third year of the Republic of China (1914) that it was renamed Wanning County, and the county name is still in use today. Wancheng Town, Wanning County, located in the east of Wanning County, has a long history of more than 136 years and is one of several famous ancient cities in Hainan.

From the fifth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty (631), Wanning established a county, to the third year of Xuantong in the Qing Dynasty (1911), and in the long years of 128, the ancient Wancheng experienced repeated changes in administrative divisions such as county, state, county and army, until the third year of the Republic of China (1914), when it was finally withdrawn from the state and merged into the county.

in the Tang dynasty, the county seat was in the area of Jiuzhou Village, Damao Town, Wanning County, about 9 kilometers northeast of Wancheng Town. In the Song Dynasty, with the needs of economic development and population growth, it migrated from the old state to today's Wancheng. ?

in p>1974, in order to meet the needs of the new situation, the then Wanning County Committee moved the county organs originally located at the southern end of the main street in the old city to the open land in the northeast of the armed forces department of Wanning County. Then the whole urban area was comprehensively planned again: it starts from Dongshanlingtou in the east and reaches Jialiufangtian in Chang 'an Town in the west, with a width of about 7 kilometers; It starts from the top of the slope of Damao Town in the north and reaches the southern end of Wancheng Primary School in the south, with a length of about 5 kilometers, forming a new city with a total area of more than 3 square kilometers.

Wancheng town after expansion? From the original five narrow old streets, it has increased to the current 12 streets. Among them, seven main streets with wide roads have been added. Today, the scale of Wancheng Town is about 8 times larger than that before 1974.
