Chenggong District (simplified Chinese: 呈贡区; traditional Chinese: 呈貢區; pinyin: Chénggòng Qū) is one of seven districts of the prefecture-level city of Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province, Southwest China, situated on east bank of the Dian Lake. The name Chenggong is a transliteration of the Yi language word for a basin where rice is grown.




History


It was first established in 1275. In 1961 it came under jurisdiction of Kunming city. In 2003 Chenggong was designated as a development zone of Kunming. The district was created from the dissolution of the former Chenggong County (呈贡县) by the State Council on May 20, 2011,
Chenggong is the chief zone for Kunming, the downtown of which is almost a 20-minute drive away. It is the site of the new Kunming City Hall, and new campuses for Yunnan University and Yunnan Normal University.
Early in the district's redevelopment, much of the newly constructed housing in Chenggong was unoccupied and was reportedly one of the largest ghost towns in Asia in 2012, in a similar situation to Ordos City and the New South China Mall. It has slowly become occupied, however, in more recent years as Central Kunming has become overcrowded. Some Government departments moved to Chenggong in 2012, and a subway line connecting Chenggong to the city centre opened in 2013. By 2017, the district had become home to many more offices and residents with more redevelopment still on the horizon.




Administrative divisions


Chenggong District is divided into ten subdistricts.
