Fenghua (奉化; pinyin: Fènghuà) is a county-level city in the north of Zhejiang province, China. It is under the jurisdiction of Ningbo prefecture-level city. The city and its administrative hinterlands has a population of over 480,000.
Fenghua is most famous for being the hometown of former ROC President Chiang Kai-shek. Geographically, it is dominated by the Tiantai and Siming mountain ranges.

Fenghua History
Today, Fenghua is a centre for light manufacturing and small scale farming. It boasts a number of premier garment and textiles factories, including the Romon brand widely recognised in China. It is also home to the vast industrial facilities of Ningbo Bird, a leading Chinese mobile phone manufacturer. As the port city of Ningbo is further integrated into the burgeoning economic region of Shanghai, Fenghua will attract increased foreign investment and continue to grow.
In 2003, the city's gross product was RMB 9.5 billion (per capita RMB 19,700), an increase of 18% from the previous year.
