Jiangbei, Meizhou
Jiangbei (Chinese: 江北; pinyin: Jiāngběi) is a district (qu, 区) in the Municipal region of Meizhou, Guangdong. It is situated on the left bank of the Meijiang (梅江).
Jiangbei and its sister Jiangnan, on the right bank, were long the urban core of the famous Meixian County. Both Districts were carved from the county according to the new systems of territorial administration following Liberation.
The two districts are joined by many road and foot bridges. The syllable Jiang (江) in their names refers to the Meijiang River, which forms a great ox-bow here.
