About Puning
Puning (simplified Chinese: 普宁; traditional Chinese: 普寧; pinyin: Pǔníng; Teochew: Pou2 leng5), officially Puning City, is a county-level city located in eastern Guangdong, China, under the administration of Jieyang. Nevertheless, its administrative power in economic matters is comparable to that of prefecture-level cities. Puning is geographically situated on the west rim of Chaoshan Plain, leaning against the stretching branch of the Lianhua Mountains at its southwest border, and 90 percent of its territory sits on the south of the Tropic of Cancer. The city has a population of 2.5089 million under its household registration system hukou, marking the largest in all county-level cities in China.
