Pingshan was established as a
New District on June 30, 2009, by the Shenzhen municipal government. This new district superseded the old plan which was initiated back in 1994 and began construction in 1997. Located southwest of the Huanping community in Pingshan New District, the Dawan Ancestral Residence is one of the biggest
Hakka buildings in China. It was built by the Zeng family in 1791 during the reign of the
Qianlong Emperor in the
Qing dynasty. In Summer 2018, The Pingshan District made international news after a group of workers from The Jasic manufacturing plant went on strike and demonstrated along with student activists from the
Jasic Solidarity Support Group. The event is referred to as
The Jasic Incident. ==Economy==
