Chenggong, Kunming

Chenggong District (simplified Chinese: 呈贡区; traditional Chinese: 呈貢區; pinyin: Chénggòng Qū) is one of seven districts of the prefecture-level city of Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province, Southwest China, situated on east bank of the Dian Lake.

The name Chenggong is a transliteration of the Yi language word for a basin where rice is grown.

Early in the district's redevelopment, much of the newly constructed housing in Chenggong was unoccupied and was reportedly one of the largest ghost towns in Asia in 2012, in a similar situation to Ordos City and the New South China Mall.

[4] It has slowly become occupied, however, in more recent years as Central Kunming has become overcrowded.

The local flower-growing business started in the 1980s, and in 2013 Dounan now supplied more than half of China's cut flowers.
