Yun'an (Chinese: 云安; pinyin: Yún'ān) is a district of Yunfu, Guangdong province, China. It used to be a county of Yunfu, called Yun'an County, but it has been changed as Yun'an District in 2014. It is located in the western part of Guangdong province, the central area of Yunfu, and the southern side runs the Xi River. It is between 111°43′26″E-112°10′17″E, and 22°34′26″N-23°08′01″N. It borders the seat of Yunfu, called Yuncheng District to the east, Xinxing County and Yangchun to the south, Luoding city and Yunan County to the west, and Xi River and Deqing county to the north.
Yun'an District has seven township-level divisions, and each part manages its things separately. Its administrative areas includes Liudu town, Gaocun town, Baishi town, Zhen'an town, Fulin town, Shicheng town and Duyang town.
In the Zhou dynasty, Yun'an was charged by Yue (粤) which has become the short name of Guangdong province now. From the Qin dynasty to the Qing dynasty, it was fragmentally divided and managed by several different regions. In 1914, it was managed by Yunfu county. In 1994, it was managed by the Yuncheng District, the capital of Yunfu. In 1996, it was separated from the Yuncheng District as Yun'an County. In 2014, it has become Yun'an district.
