Longhai City (ancient Longxi County and Haicheng County) is located at the mouth of the Jiulong River in the south of Fujian Province. In February 1960, Longxi and Haicheng County organs moved to Shima Town Joint Office from downtown Zhangzhou and Haicheng respectively; in August, Longxi and Haicheng counties were merged into Longhai County. In June 1961, three production brigades of Tianbao and Punan communes in Longhai County, three production brigades of Jiuhu Commune, one production brigade of Buwen Commune and the back room farm were assigned to Zhangzhou City (now Xiangcheng District). It was identified as the first batch of coastal open counties by the state in 1985, and was removed from the county to set up cities in 1993. In 1996, the two towns of Guokeng and Buwen (except Wupu and Changzhou villages) were set up under the jurisdiction of Longwen District. In 2012, Jiaomei Town was designated to establish Zhangzhou Taiwan Investment Zone, which is separately managed by Zhangzhou City. The total area of the city is 1128 square meters.
