Tongren is a prefecture-level city in eastern Guizhou province, People's Republic of China, located within a tobacco planting and crop agricultural area. Tongren was known as Tongren Prefecture (Chinese: 铜仁地区) until November 2011, when it was converted into a prefecture-level city.[2]
During the Yongle period (1403 - 1424) of the Ming dynasty (1368 - 1644), two local governments known as "Sizhou Xuanweisi" and "Sinan Xuanweisi" resisted full subjugation. Yongle Emperor sent troops to pacify the rebellion and set up a provincial administrative region known as "Guizhou Buzhengshisi" .[3] Since then, their administrators were appointed by the central government.[3]
Tongren comprises 2 districts, 4 counties, and 4 autonomous counties.
In July 2018, the Tongren Transportation & Tourism Investment Group announced a joint venture with Hyperloop Transportation Technologies to construct a Hyperloop track in Tongren, along with an industrial research park.[4]
The city is served by Tongren Fenghuang Airport.
