Nanchong ( Chinese : 南充 ; pinyin : Nánchōng ; Wade–Giles : Nan-ch'ung ; Sichuanese : lan 2 cong 1 ; ) is a prefecture-level city in the northeast of Sichuan province, China , with an area of 12,479.96 square kilometres (4,818.54 sq mi) , and at the 2010 census was home to 6,278,614 people whom 1,858,875 lived in the built-up ( or metro ) area made of 3 urban districts. It is the second most populated city of Sichuan Province, only after Chengdu. The administrative center is Shunqing District .
Nanchong was in the territory of the state of Ba before it was conquered by the Qin dynasty in 314 BC. The Qin set up a government at Langzhong City. Anhan City was established in Shunqinq district at the beginning of the Han Dynasty .
In 202 BC, Emperor Gaozu of Han instituted the Anhan ( simplified Chinese : 安汉; traditional Chinese : 安漢) County in this place. Anhan literally means "to establish or stabilize Han". In 8 AD, the name was changed to Anxin (安新) when Wang Mang seized the throne of the Han Dynasty, but it reverted to Anhan in 25 AD. It was again changed to Guozhou (果州, "fruit city") in 621 AD ( Tang dynasty ), and then to Nanchong in 742 AD. The nickname of Nanchong is Guocheng (果城), derived from Guozhou.
