Which province and city does Yingkou belong to?

Yingkou is located in the center of Liaodong Peninsula, on the east bank of Bohai Sea and at the mouth of Daliao River. It is the first port opened to the outside world in the modern history of northeast China, one of the birthplaces and distribution centers of Dalong stamps, the birthplace of the Red Cross Movement in China, and the prosperous place of national financial industry in China. It used to be the economic, financial, trade, shipping, religious and cultural exchange center and the distribution center of various materials in the northeast of China, and is known as the "East Trade Intersection" and "Shanghai beyond the customs". Britain, France, Russia, Japan, Germany, the United States, Sweden, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Austria-Hungary and other countries have set up consulates or consular offices in Yingkou, which used to be the window of Northeast China to the world.

Today, Yingkou, as the first batch of coastal open cities and cities in the National Pilot Free Trade Zone, is an important sea passage in Northeast Asia, one of the important transportation nodes of the "Belt and Road" strategy, and an important hub of the international sea-rail intermodal passage. As a regional central city and an international logistics center, it is the central city of Liaodong Bay, the central city of Liaodong Bay Economic Zone, the economic and financial center of Liaodong Bay and the modern service center of Liaodong Bay. It has become one of the fastest growing cities in China. In 20 16, it was approved as the most attractive and livable tourist city in China.

The origin of place names

Yingkou was called Liaokou in the Three Kingdoms and Lilinkou in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. 1688, the Qing government settled Hu Ba Mongols in Yingkou. Hu Ba people live in adjoining shacks, which look like military camps. [6] After Hu Ba people left, the Qing government issued regulations to recover Liaodong, requiring immigrants to recover Liaodong, so farmers from Shandong and Zhili came here one after another, and fishermen from Dengzhou, Rongcheng and Tianjin Xia Hai also came here by boat to settle down. They built shacks and thatched houses beside the tidal stream on the south bank of Liaohe River (there are also a few on the north bank of Liaohe River). These shacks and thatched huts look like rows of barracks from a distance (in fact, they are not barracks, but small fishing villages), hence the name "camp". Because Ruth is located at the mouth of Liaohe River, it is a place to retreat to the sea, with a history of at least 600 years. After the land was formed here, many tidal gullies were left. At high tide, the river flooded the tidal gullies, which means "no gullies", so it is called no gullies camp.

1858 signed the Sino-British Tianjin Treaty, adding Niuzhuang, Dengzhou, Taiwan Province, Chaozhou and Qiongzhou as trading ports. In April of the 11th year of Xianfeng (186 1), the first British consul in Niuzhuang saw that the Niuzhuang estuary was shallow, and it was difficult for large ships to enter and leave, and the conditions were extremely poor, so it could not be used as a trading port, so he gave up his intention. Just when the British army was frustrated, they discovered the Trenchless Camp under the jurisdiction of Niuzhuang. No ditch camp is not only deep and wide, but also close to Haikou, and the dock is close to the town. It would be better than Niuzhuang if we could open a port to trade here. Midler found the officials of Niuzhuang, put forward the request to change Niuzhuang into a ditch-free camp, and wrote to the British government to explain the field investigation and the change of location. The letter said: "Niuzhuang, as a commercial city, has no status and can't see the vitality of business. According to the exploration results, Wugouying, which is closest to Liaohe Estuary, will surely become the center of foreign trade. The Qing government agreed to Midler's request to change the port opening. First, due to the siltation of Niuzhuang River, it is best not to have trenches to run the river, and there are docks in the city, which are suitable for opening ports and trading; Secondly, according to the Tianjin Treaty, there is no breach of contract when opening a port in Wugouying under the jurisdiction of Niuzhuang. In this way, the M flag floated, and there was no ditch camp instead of Niuzhuang to open the port. The official document of the Qing government called it "agreeing to open ports along Yingkou without ditching".

After 1866, the official documents of the Qing government were referred to as "Wugou Yinggang" Yingkou. Yingkou city got its name from then on.
