Zhànchuān

Zhànchuān was a name associated with the coastal districts of the Léizhōu Peninsula. An early county called Shènchuān, also written Zhànchuān, existed here under the Sui and early Tang. In later centuries a patrol office bearing the name served Suíxī County; a Qing geographical compilation records its old site at Zhànchuān village, west of the county seat. The name thus survived in local administration long after the ancient county had disappeared.
