Lianzhou is a county-level city in northern Guangdong Province, China, under the administration of the prefecture-level city of Qingyuan. It is known as the host city of the Lianzhou International Photography Festival and as a historic and cultural landmark of Guangdong Province. Lianzhou became part of the Changsha Commandery during the Qin dynasty. During the Han dynasty, which began in 206 BC, the Yangxian prefecture consisted of three cities: Lianzhou, Liannan, and Lianshan. Emperor Kaihuang later put Lianzhou in the Ben prefecture during the Sui dynasty (581–618 AD). It is situated on the Lian River and the Little Bei River, southeast of Yangshan County, southwest of Liannan County, and north of Linwu County.
