==History== The area originally belonged to Guangdong and was transferred to Guangxi in 1965. The city was originally a county Qinxian (postal: Yamhsien). From the beginning of the present era, Qinzhou (Wade-Giles: ''K'in-chou) was for many centuries "the center of Chinese overland trade with Indo-China".
