Wikipedia description:

Taishan (Chinese: 台山; pinyin: Táishān), or Toi San (Jyutping: Toi4saan1), is a county-level city in the southwest of Guangdong province, China. It is administered as part of the prefecture-level city of Jiangmen. During the 2020 census, there were 907,354 inhabitants (941,095 in 2010), but only 433,266 were considered urban. As one of the most renowned qiao'xiangs, Taishan calls itself the "First Home of the Overseas Chinese". An estimated half a million Chinese Americans are of Taishanese descent. It was named Xinning (新寧) until 1914, which was romanised as "Sunning".
