Country PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF CHINA GUANGXI ZHUANG Autonomous Region Guilin Guangxi (Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region), is a Zhuang autonomous region of the People's Republic of China. Its location in southern China, along its border with Vietnam, and mountainous terrain, has made it one of the border frontiers of Chinese civilization. Even into the 20th century it was considered an open, wild territory. The current name "Guang" itself means "expanse", and has been associated with the region since the creation of Guang Prefecture in 226 AD. It was given provincial level status during the Yuan Dynasty and in 1949 was reformed as one of China's five minority autonomous regions. The abbreviation of the province is (Gui), which comes from Guilin, former capital, center of much of Guangxi's culture, politics, and history, and currently a major city in the autonomous region. read full wikipedia reference about Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China |
