Tseng City

Tseng City (Chinese: 曾中市, Céng zhōng shì, lit: Tseng Central City), called Port Elizabeth (Chinese: 伊麗莎白港, Yīlìshābái gǎng) until 1946, is the capital and largest city of Tseng and Tseng City-Capital. It is a massive city, with a population of about 4.3 million people.

Tseng City is the economic, financial, cultural, and political hub of Tseng. Founded in 1605 by the British, it has since become a cosmopolitan and trendy city.

History
The area known as Tseng City was sparsely populated before the Europeans arrived, although a settlement known as Tietlang existed in modern Lushan District. Tietlang was a village of 20 people inhabited by the Fu'lang tribe.

After the natives destroyed and burned Fort Elizabeth, the British built a new settlement in 1605, called Port Elizabeth. The new village was not attacked.

In 1946, after the independence of Tseng, Port Elizabeth was renamed Tseng City. In 1974, the city was almost destroyed by a huge 6.8 earthquake. Because of this, the city was rebuilt using stronger materials, which protected it from subsequent earthquakes like the more powerful 1981 and 1998 earthquakes, and severe typhoons.

Today, Tseng City is a modern, world-class city. It is fast becoming a popular tourist destination.

Geography
The center of Tseng City is located about 3 km (1.8 mi) from the northwest corner of the Tseng Republic. The city is situated on a plain that is called the Capital Valley.

Tseng City is served by air by Zengzi International Airport. Other airports that serve Tseng City are Tsengshan Airport and Hillsbourgh Shanbao Airport.

The Tseng City Metro System is the city's metro system. Many highways serve the city, including a ring road. A1 starts in this city, and A2 goes down to Taihua.

Tseng City is connected to the sea by the Tseng City Harbour.
