Jinfeng

Jingfeng (Chinese: 金風市), also romanized Jingfong or Kinfeng, is a city in western Nankou close to the Georgeville border. Once the largest city in southern Tseng, it has since decreased in importance.

Jingfeng's name means "gold wind" in Chinese. It's called that because of its strong winds and the amount of wind turbines in the city's vicinity. The wind is one of the most important parts of Jingfeng's economy. During the city peak in the 1920s, the wind could get someone rich.

History
Jingfeng was founded in 1776 by British traders on the ruins of Jinghe, the historic capital of the Xia Kingdom. They named this area Windtown, after the powerful winds (see above).

The city quickly became a developed settlement. By 1899, the city was briefly the largest city in Tseng, dethroning Port Elizabeth. Windtown's economy and population grew until the Great Depression, when many people were laid off and there were few jobs. Windtown suffered in World War II, when the Japanese and Allies bombed the city. About 70% of the city was destroyed and many people moved out to other places like Taihua, and later Huanzhou. In 1947, Windtown was renamed Jingfeng.

In the 1950s, Jingfeng's hold on the largest city in southern Tseng started to wane as Huanzhou slowly became the dominant force. The city started becoming a headquarter for crime.

In recently years, there have been efforts to clean the city up. The number of homicides declined in 2018, and in the 2020 Census, Jingfeng's population finally went up.

Geography
Jingfeng is located on the banks of the Qinglian River. The majority of the city is located on the east side of the river. The newer, west side, was first developed in the 1970s, however, it wasn't until the 1990s and 2000s that people started moving to the west side.

Jingfeng has 3 divisions, East District, West District, and Central District.

Transportation
Jingfeng is served by Emperor Kangfu Airport (IATA: JFG; ICAO: RTJF). The city is at the junction of Highways A3 and A4.
