Name

Gaoyao—literally "high-&-wanting"—is a former name of the Lingyang Gorge on the Xi River. It was originally the name of the surrounding land but came to be used for the area's seat of government. Gaoyao is the pinyin romanization of the Chinese name, based on its Mandarin pronunciation; the former Chinese Postal Map spelling was based on the local Cantonese pronunciation of the same name. Gaoyao has also sometimes been romanized as Kaou{{nbsp}}Yaou.{{sfnp|Bolton & al.|1941|p=[https://books.google.com.hk/books?id=6irEoGgDrm4C&pg=PA262 262]}}

Geography

Gaoyao is located on the southern bank of the Xi River, opposite central Zhaoqing. Both are about {{convert|100|km|sp=us}} away from Guangzhou, the provincial capital.

History

Gaoyao was a county of the Qin and Han and its eponymous county seat was the principal settlement of the area. Under the Sui, the administration relocated across the river to Duanzhou, which was renamed Zhaoqing under the Song. Gaoyao continued as a separate county in Zhaoqing Commandery.{{sfnp|Bolton & al.|1941|p=[https://books.google.com.hk/books?id=6irEoGgDrm4C&pg=PA262 262]}} It was promoted to a county-level city in 1993 and later to urban district status.
