Yantian District (simplified Chinese:盐田区;traditional Chinese:鹽田區;pinyin:Yántián Qū;Jyutping:Jim4tin4 Keoi1) is one of the nine districts of the city ofShenzhen,Guangdong, China. It is adjacent toShenzhen River andHong Kong to the south, and is surrounded byLuohu,Longgang andPingshan districts of Shenzhen.
Before 1960s, the northern part of the district belonged to Huiyang County (nowHuiyang District,Huizhou). The famousHuizhou Uprising launched by Dr.Sun Yat-sen started in the northern part of the district during 1900. The failure of the revolution had inspired Dr. Sun to revolt against theQing dynasty, which soon ended in 1912 after theWuchang Uprising.
Due to the proximity to Bao'an County, Northern Yantian merged into the new County in 1960s. In 1978, after the establishment of ShenzhenSpecial Economic Zone (SEZ), Yantian (as a part of Luohu District), together with several other districts in Bao'an County, formed the new special economic district. In March 1998, Yantian separated from Luohu District after the construction of Yantian Port Area ofShenzhen Port.
The size of Yantian district is about 72.63 km2 (28.04 sq mi), divided into foursubdistricts:
