Wenchang (postal: Mencheong; Chinese: 文昌; pinyin: Wénchāng) is a county-level city in the northeast of Hainan province, China. Although called a "city", Wenchang refers to a large land area in Hainan - an area which was once a county. The urban center and the seat of government of Wenchang is officially known as "Wencheng Town" (文城镇),[1] which is also colloquially referred to as Wenchang City.
