 | | Encompassing the cities of Raoping, Chaozhou, Shantou, Jieyang, Chaoyang, Puning, Chao'an, Huilai, and Shanwei, the Chaoshan region, with a population of approximately 10 million, covers an area of about 10,500 km² that stretches from Shanwei on the coast to the border of Fujian. |
 | | In recent years, due to corruption and car smuggling in the 1980s and 1990s, the central government has chosen to slow down growth of this region even though it is still designated as a SEZ (Special Economic Zone). |
 | | The name "Chaoshan" (潮汕) is of recent provenance, a contraction of the names of its two largest administrative areas, Chaozhou (æ½® å·) and Shantou (Traditional Chinese: 汕é ; Simplified Chinese: 汕头) |
