Hongjiang District (Chinese: 洪江区; Pinyin: Hóngjiāng Qū), formerly Hongjiang City (洪江市), is a special district of Huaihua, Hunan, China.
[edit] History
Hongjiang City was merged with Qianyang County (黔阳县) to form the new Hongjiang in 1997. However, the residents of the old Hongjiang City resisted this merge. In 1999, the old Hongjiang was separated from the new Hongjiang City and form a special Hongjiang District.
