Fengkai County was once an important place for economic and cultural exchanges between Lingnan and the Central Plains. It was also the birthplace of Lingnan indigenous culture and Cantonese. It was also the source of the names of Guangdong, Guangxi and Guangzhou. It was an important transportation hub from Lingnan to the vast areas of the Central Plains and the sea-land junction of the Silk Road. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Fengchuan was located in Guangxin County and Kaijian was located in Fengyang County. To the second year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1369), both counties were under the jurisdiction of Zhaoqing Prefecture. The system of two counties was abolished in the Qing Dynasty and restored in the Republic of China. In 1961, Fengchuan County and Kaijian County were merged into Fengkai County, under the jurisdiction of Zhaoqing.
