Suìxī

Suixi lies on the northern part of the Leizhou Peninsula in southern Guangdong. Its county history extends back to the Tang period, although its boundaries and administrative status changed. After being absorbed into Haikang under the Northern Song, Suixi was re-established in 1149. Its seat later moved to the site of the present county town.

Under the Yuan, Suixi belonged to Leizhou Circuit; under the Ming and Qing it came under Leizhou Prefecture. The county gazetteers preserved information on local administration, waterways and education, reflecting the continuing work of governing a district on the peninsula. Its coastal and inland communities formed part of the wider Leizhou region, linked northward to Guangdong and southward toward Hainan.
