Huadu District (simplified Chinese: 花都区; traditional Chinese: 花都區; Mandarin Pinyin: Huādu Qū; Jyutping: faa1dou1 keoi1; literally "flower capital") is a district of Guangzhou, People's Republic of China. It is located in the far northern suburbs of the city.
Xinhua Town is the seat of local government, and of the district CCP committee.[1]
The district was established as a county in the Qing Dynasty (1644–1911). It was recognized as a city in 1993, and in 2000, it became an attached suburban district of Guangzhou.
Natives speak a dialect of Yue Chinese called HuaXian(花县话).
Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, Guangzhou's main airport, is located in the district, as is Guangzhou North Railway Station on the Wuhan–Guangzhou High-Speed Railway.
