Pingshan ( Chinese  坪山 新区 , Pinyin Píngshān Xīnqū ) is a "New District " of the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen in Guangdong Province . It was founded on June 30, 2009. It is a so-called “functional” city district, an administrative division of the second degree, ie a “city funding authority”. This means that, unlike the “old” districts of Shenzhen, Pingshan has no people 's congress , no consultative conference and, above all, no people's government (人民政府) elected by the people's congress. Instead, its administration is directly determined and appointed by the city of Shenzhen. The three largest ethnic minorities in Shenzhen, the Zhuang , Tujia and Miao , mostly live in this district.

Administrative structure

At the community level, Pingshan is made up of two street districts. These are:

  • Road quarter Kengzi (坑梓街道);
  • Pingshan Street (坪山 街道).
