Quanzhou County (Chinese: 全州县; pinyin: Quánzhōu Xiàn; Zhuang: Cenzcouh Yen) is a county in the northeast of Guangxi, China, bordering Hunan province to the north and east. It is under the administration of Guilin City. Quanzhou is the biggest county in Guilin both in size and in population. The dialect here belongs to the Xiang Chinese.[1]
Historically, Quanzhou was under the administration of Hunan Province. It was only after Ming Dynasty (1368CE - 1644CE) that it was removed from Hunan into Guangxi.[citation needed]
