Xiguan
Xiguan or Sai Kwan () is a traditional geographical division of Guangzhou, China. It is the former name of the Liwan District that reaches Xicun () in the north and borders on Renmin Road () to the east. The Pearl River lies to its west and south. The area outside the west gate of Guangzhou was collectively called Xiguan during the Ming (13681644) and Qing Dynasties (16441911), a name that remains in use today.
== Name ==
In the past, Guangzhou, or commonly called the capital of Guangdong Province () had three city gates respectively on its east, south and west. They are Dongguan (), Nanguan () and Xiguan (). There are mountains in the north of the city so there was no such thing called ''Beiguan'' (). Guan () means ''gate'' in Chinese. Thus, Xiguan refers to the area outside the west gate of Guangzhou.
The former but more commonly known translation for Xiguan is Sai Kwan (Cantonese Romanisation). Other less often translations are West Kwan, West Gate, West Suburbs, West Outskirts or West Guan. Currently, the official translation is Xiguan in accordance with Hanyu Pinyin, the official system to transcribe Chinese characters into the Latin script.
