[edit] Demography

The majority of residents are of Hoklo heritage; the rest are Hakka. Therefore both Min Nan and Hakka dialects are spoken, in addition to Mandarin which is used in official and public life. The Hailufeng dialect, however, only refers to the Hokkien variant.

[edit] Administration

As of 2005 year's end, the city comprises three street committees (街道, jiedao) and 17 towns (镇, zhen). These are organised into 47 Block committees (居委会) and 280 Village committees (村委会)。[1]

The city's executive, legislature and judiciary are seated in Donghai (东海), together with the CPC subbranch and PSB substation (派出所, paichusuo).
