Three Towns Converted into Subdistricts

The reply

On 15 May 2018 the Jiangsu Provincial People's Government approved the abolition of Dongping, Honglan and Shiqiu towns in Lishui District and the creation of Dongping, Honglan and Shiqiu subdistricts. The account follows the text of the provincial government's reply on adjusting part of the administrative divisions of Lishui District, Xinghua City and Sihong County.

Relation to the 2015 change

The conversion of Yongyang and Zhetang towns into subdistricts was a separate adjustment. Among the sources available to this site, only the explanatory note to the 2018 reply mentions it, and without its document number or date; this entry accordingly marks that statement as secondary comment rather than the text of the 2015 reply itself.

Present divisions

The district now has five subdistricts (Yongyang, Zhetang, Dongping, Honglan, Shiqiu) and three towns (Baima, Hefeng, Jingqiao), the list following the district government's administrative divisions page (accessed 25 September 2026). Where an old name in a historical entry differs from the current term, the entry uses the name of the time and gives the present equivalent in brackets.

Uncertainties

The document number and date of the 2015 reply converting Yongyang and Zhetang towns into subdistricts are not given by the sources available here and remain to be supplied.
