Kaiping (simplified Chinese: 开平; traditional Chinese: 開平), alternately romanized in Cantonese as Hoiping, in local dialect as Hoihen, is a county-level city in Guangdong Province, China. It is located in the western section of the Pearl River Delta and administered as part of the prefecture-level city of Jiangmen. The surrounding area, especially Sze Yup (四邑), are often venerated with the title "qiaoxiang" (侨乡), for they are the ancestral homelands of many overseas Chinese, particularly in the United States. Kaiping has a population of 748,777 as of 2020 and an area of 1,659 square kilometres (641 sq mi). The locals speak a variant of the Sze Yup dialect.
