Fengxi District
administrative territorial entity of the People's Republic of China
Fengxi District (simplified Chinese: 枫溪区; traditional Chinese: 楓溪區; pinyin: Fēngxī Qū; lit. 'Maple Creek District') was an administrative district under the jurisdiction of Chaozhou City in Guangdong Province, China, located in the western part of the Chaozhou urban area, near the border with Fujian Province. It covered a total area of 24.56 square kilometers, with a registered population of approximately 117,400, a total of 28,654 households, and a resident population of 158,114. The district administered 6 communities and 26 villages.
In December 1995, Fengxi Town (楓溪鎮) of Chao’an County was dissolved and reorganized into a county‑level administrative district named Fengxi District. The new district's jurisdiction included Fengxi Town of Chao’an County, the Chaozhou Railway Station area, and the Chihu (池湖) and Cailong (蔡隴) administrative zones, which were carved out from Fengxin Subdistrict (鳳新街道) of Xiangqiao District (湘橋區).

Why this record matters
“Fengxi District” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Fengxi, District and administrative provides the most credible route into that argument.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1001024. Authority coordinates are 23.650, 116.883. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1995 and 2023.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
