'''Wanzhou District''' ({{lang-zh|s=万州区 |t=萬州區 |p=Wànzhōu Qū}}) is Chongqing's second most populated urban core area on the upper reaches of the [[Three Gorges]] of the [[Yangtze River]] in China. It is currently governed as a [[District (PRC)|district]] of [[Chongqing]] Municipality, bordering [[Sichuan]] to the northwest and [[Hubei]] to the southeast. It was formerly known as '''Wanxian''' or '''Wan County''' ({{lang-zh|s=万县 |t=萬縣 |p=Wànxiàn |links=no}}). Prior to Chongqing's formation as a direct-controlled municipality, Wanzhou was part of [[Sichuan]] province. The urban core of Wanzhou  is {{convert|228|km|abbr=on}} away from Chongqing's city proper.

The characters for "Wanzhou" mean "[[myriad]]-prefecture"; which is derived from the phrase "the place where myriad rivers converge and myriad traders gather" ({{lang|zh-hans|万川毕汇、万商云集}}). Due to the construction of the [[Three Gorges Dam]], 47% of Wanzhou's old urban area was submerged and had to be relocated.

==History==
[[File:Mennie Bridge at Wan-Hsien.jpg|thumb|left|An old stone bridge]]
The district was part of Wanxian Prefecture ({{lang|zh-hans|万县地区}}), then the prefectural Wanxian City ({{lang|zh-hans|万县市}}). It was renamed to Wanzhou in late 1990s.

It was part of Quren County of Ba Commandery ({{lang|zh-hans|巴郡朐忍县}}) in the [[Qin dynasty]]. It became Yangqu County ({{lang|zh-hans|羊渠县}}) in 216 (the [[Eastern Han dynasty]]). In 230 (the [[Shu-Han Kingdom]]), it was renamed to Nanpu ({{lang|zh-hans|南浦县}}); in 553 (the [[Western Wei]] dynasty), to Yuquan ({{lang|zh-hans|鱼泉县}}); in 557 ([[Northern Zhou dynasty]]), to Anxiang ({{lang|zh-hans|安乡县}}); in 584, to Wanchuan ({{lang|zh-hans|万川县}}); and in 598 ([[Sui dynasty]]), to Nanpu again.

In 619 ([[Tang dynasty]]), Nanpu Commandery ({{lang|zh|南浦郡}}) was established. In 625, the name was changed to Pu Prefecture ({{lang|zh|浦州}}), and in 634, to Wan Prefecture ({{lang-zh|labels=no|s=万州 |p=Wànzhōu}}). In 1373 ([[Yuan dynasty]]), Wan was demoted to a county ({{lang-zh|labels=no|s=万县 |p=Wànxiàn}}).

In the 19th century, it was known in English as Wanhsien and Wan County. In 1935, it became Wanxian Prefecture ({{lang|zh-hans|万县专区}}). On 12 December 1992, the [[State Council of the People's Republic of China|State Council]] abolished Wanxian [[Prefecture (China)|Prefecture]] and its subordinate Wanxian City and created the prefecture-level Wanxian City, which administered the districts of Longbao ({{lang|zh-hans|龙宝区}}), Tiancheng ({{lang|zh-hans|天城区}}), Wuqiao ({{lang|zh-hans|五桥区}}) and the counties of [[Kai County|Kai]], [[Zhong County|Zhong]], [[Liangping]], [[Yunyang County|Yunyang]], [[Fengjie]], [[Wushan County, Chongqing|Wushan]], [[Wuxi County|Wuxi]], and [[Chengkou]].

The entire Wanxian City was merged into [[Chongqing]] on 20 December 1997. The merge necessitated the abolishment of Wanxian City and creation of Wanxian District and Wanxian Migration Development Area ({{lang|zh-hans|移民开发区}}). Wanxian City's three districts were converted to administrative committees ({{lang|zh-hans|管理委员会}}, abbreviated {{lang|zh-hans|管委会}}) of Wanxian District. The migration development area included the counties formerly in Wanxian City, except Liangping and Chengkou, which were administered by Chongqing directly.

On 22 May 1998, the State Council approved that the two areas named Wanxian were both renamed to Wanzhou. The migration development area later dissolved and its counties were directly controlled by Chongqing. On 19 July 2000, the district's administrative committees were changed to migration development areas.

==Sports==

The 26,000-capacity [[Wanzhou Pailou Sports Stadium]] is located in Wanzhou. It is used mostly for association football and also sometimes for athletics. One stand is covered with a roof.

==Geography and climate==
Wanzhou spans 30°24′−31°14′ N latitude and 107°55′−108°53′ E longitude, and is situated at the eastern edge of the [[Sichuan Basin]]. It reaches a maximal north–south extent of {{convert|67.25|km|abbr=on}} and east–west width of {{convert|97.25|km|abbr=on}}, covering an area of {{convert|3214|km2|abbr=on}}. Elevations range from {{convert|106|m|abbr=on}} in the town of [[Tailong]] ({{lang|zh-hans|太龙镇}}) to {{convert|1762|m|abbr=on}} at Shaping Peak ({{lang|zh|沙坪峰}}) of the Qiyao Mountains ({{lang|zh-hans|齐曜山}}).<ref>{{cite book |year=1995 |script-title=zh:《万县志》 |script-chapter=zh:概述 1}}{{full citation needed|date=April 2020}}</ref> Bordering county-level divisions:

*[[Liangping County]]{{spaced ndash}}west
*[[Kaijiang County]], [[Sichuan]]{{spaced ndash}}north
*[[Kai County]]{{spaced ndash}}north

Similar to the city proper of Chongqing, Wanzhou has a [[monsoon]]-[[humid subtropical climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]] ''Cwa'') with short, mild winters, and very hot, humid summers, and is in fact on average {{convert|0.5|C-change|1}} warmer during the day. The monthly 24-hour average temperature ranges from {{convert|7.0|C|1}} in January to {{convert|28.3|C|1}} in August, while the annual mean is {{convert|17.95|C|1}}.
