Dongguan is in the middle southern part of Guangdong Province,
and it is in the northeastern part of Zhujiang Triangle Islet. I
got its name because it lies in the east of Guangzhou and is rich
of a kind of grass called Guan Grass. In Han Dynasty, it belonged
to Bolang Country, in Eastern Jin Dynasty, it belonged to Baoan
Country, and in Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty, it belonged to Dongguan
Country. In Sep. 1985, it was built as a city. Now in Dongguan,
there is an urban district and 29 towns. Dongguan is the important
place that is lived by those countrymen residing abroad.
