Script error: No such module "redirect hatnote".

Wanzhou District (Template:Lang-zh) is Chongqing's second most populated urban core area on the upper reaches of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River in China. It is currently governed as a district of Chongqing Municipality, bordering Sichuan to the northwest and Hubei to the southeast. It was formerly known as Wanxian or Wan County (Template:Lang-zh). Prior to Chongqing's formation as a direct-controlled municipality, Wanzhou was part of Sichuan province. The urban core of Wanzhou is Script error: No such module "convert". away from Chongqing's city proper.
The characters for "Wanzhou" mean "myriad-prefecture"; which is derived from the phrase "the place where myriad rivers converge and myriad traders gather" (Script error: No such module "Lang".). Due to the construction of the Three Gorges Dam, 47% of Wanzhou's old urban area was submerged and had to be relocated.
History
The district was part of Wanxian Prefecture (Script error: No such module "Lang".), then the prefectural Wanxian City (Script error: No such module "Lang".). It was renamed to Wanzhou in late 1990s.
It was part of Quren County of Ba Commandery (Script error: No such module "Lang".) in the Qin dynasty. It became Yangqu County (Script error: No such module "Lang".) in 216 (the Eastern Han dynasty). In 230 (the Shu-Han Kingdom), it was renamed to Nanpu (Script error: No such module "Lang".); in 553 (the Western Wei dynasty), to Yuquan (Script error: No such module "Lang".); in 557 (Northern Zhou dynasty), to Anxiang (Script error: No such module "Lang".); in 584, to Wanchuan (Script error: No such module "Lang".); and in 598 (Sui dynasty), to Nanpu again.
In 619 (Tang dynasty), Nanpu Commandery (Script error: No such module "Lang".) was established. In 625, the name was changed to Pu Prefecture (Script error: No such module "Lang".), and in 634, to Wan Prefecture (Template:Lang-zh). In 1373 (Yuan dynasty), Wan was demoted to a county (Template:Lang-zh).
In the 19th century, it was known in English as Wanhsien and Wan County. In 1935, it became Wanxian Prefecture (Script error: No such module "Lang".). On 12 December 1992, the State Council abolished Wanxian Prefecture and its subordinate Wanxian City and created the prefecture-level Wanxian City, which administered the districts of Longbao (Script error: No such module "Lang".), Tiancheng (Script error: No such module "Lang".), Wuqiao (Script error: No such module "Lang".) and the counties of Kai, Zhong, Liangping, Yunyang, Fengjie, Wushan, Wuxi, and Chengkou.
The entire Wanxian City was merged into Chongqing on 20 December 1997. The merge necessitated the abolishment of Wanxian City and creation of Wanxian District and Wanxian Migration Development Area (Script error: No such module "Lang".). Wanxian City's three districts were converted to administrative committees (Script error: No such module "Lang"., abbreviated Script error: No such module "Lang".) of Wanxian District. The migration development area included the counties formerly in Wanxian City, except Liangping and Chengkou, which were administered by Chongqing directly.
On 22 May 1998, the State Council approved that the two areas named Wanxian were both renamed to Wanzhou. The migration development area later dissolved and its counties were directly controlled by Chongqing. On 19 July 2000, the district's administrative committees were changed to migration development areas.
