'''Nanhui District''' ({{zh |s = 南汇区 |t = 南匯區 |p = Nánhuì Qū |l = South-[[confluence]] District }}), [[Postal romanization|formerly romanized]] as Nanhwei, was a district of [[Shanghai]] until it was merged into [[Pudong New Area]] in May 2009. It had a land area of about {{convert|809.5|km2|abbr=on}} and a {{convert|59.5|km|abbr=on}} coastline. The population of Nanhui was {{formatnum:975017}} as of August 2006. On May 6, 2009, it was announced that the [[State Council of the People's Republic of China|State Council of China]] had approved the proposal to merge Nanhui District into Pudong, which is also a district of Shanghai.

== History ==
About 2000 years ago, the water of the [[Yangtze River]] ran to the south because of sea tide and met the [[Qiantang River]] so as to form the land near the [[Tang dynasty]], so this district was named by Nanhuizui (Nan is South, Hui means [[confluence|converge]], and Zui means mouth in Chinese). Nanhui County was established from Shanghai County in 1726.

In 2001, Nanhui County was renamed Nanhui District. In May 2009 Nanhui was merged into [[Pudong New Area]].
