Zengbu River
Zengbu River (Chinese: 增埗河; Jyutping: zang1 bou6 ho4), also known as Nicheng Chong, is a river in the northwest of Guangzhou, China. It is connected to the Shijing River in the north, Shabei River in the south, and Luoyongwei on the west bank, which is the lower section of the Shijing River. It has a total length of 1,600 meters and a width of 86 meters. It is named after the Zengbu of Liwan District on the east bank.
Historically, the Zengbu River was an important waterway for ships to enter and exit Guangzhou. In ancient times, ships arriving in Guangzhou along the Xijiang and Beijiang all landed on the east bank of the river and entered the city. It was an important land and water terminal in Guangzhou Xisi. In the eleventh year of the Emperor Han Dynasty (196 BC), Lu Jia went to the South of Vietnam and landed here and built a tucheng to wait for Zhao Tuo. Later, it was called Nicheng (also called Xichang), and the river was also called Nichengyong. Later generations built Lu Jiating in the site of the Guangzhou Water Supply Company as a commemoration. During the 21st year of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty (1841), during the Opium War, British troops landed here and invaded Guangzhou. It is still an important transport section in the northwest of Guangzhou. There are Zengpo Bridge, Zengcha Road Radiation Line of Inner Ring Road and R&F Taoyuan Bridge connecting Xicun and Luochongwei. There are many factories and warehouses along the coast, including Guangzhou Power Plant and Xicun Water Plant.
