Yunyan District (simplified Chinese: 云岩区; traditional Chinese: 雲岩區; pinyin: Yúnyán Qū) is one of 6 urban districts of the prefecture-level city of Guiyang, the capital of Guizhou Province, China. Yunyan has been the provincial seat of Guizhou since it was established as a province during the Ming dynasty.[1] Yunyan has a majority Han population, and is home to other ethnic groups such as Miao, Bouyei, Hui, and Shui.[1]

History

Yunyan belonged to the Shunyuan Military Monitoring Department during the Yuan dynasty, and later the Guizhou Military Monitoring Department during the Ming dynasty.[1] Since Guizhou's establishment as a province during the Ming dynasty, Yunyan has been the seat of the province.[1] In August 1955, Guiyang's first district was renamed to Yunyan District, and its second district was renamed Fushui District. In 1958, Fushui was merged into Yunyan.[1]
