Everything about Chongming County totally explained
Chongming County (;
Wu: Dzonmin Jeu) is the only
county under the jurisdiction of
Shanghai,
China. The county consists of three main islands:
Chongming Island ;
Changxing Island; and
Hengsha Island. These are low-lying alluvial islands in the mouth of the
Yangtze River. With an area of 1041 km² Chongming Island is the second largest island in the
People's Republic of China after
Hainan. The island first emerged in
618 due to a change in the water level of the river.
Once the most rural area of Shanghai, it's now the subject of a major urban and agricultural master-plan led by Philip Enquist of
SOM. With the construction of a trans-
Yangtze tunnel, the island is expected to increase in population while incorporating specialized agriculture in a sustainable design. It is also a major relocation centre for migrants from
Three Gorges Dam area. Chongming has an area of 1041.38 km² and a population of 694,600 as of 2001. The city of
Dongtan is currently being planned in this county.
Chong Ming National Forest Park is also located there.
