“"Long Du (隆 都) is a distinct and easily identifiable qiaoxi- ang. The people of this area speak a dialect separate from the surrounding Cantonese speakers of most of Zhongshan and usually formed their own distinct organizations in the destinations. Long Du was also a qiaoxiang that sent a high proportion of its people to the destinations and whose records and oral testimony can therefore be easily compared to records in the destinations. Records in the immigration files of Australia and the United States, for example, regularly mention Long Du villages such as Long Tou Wan (龍頭環) and Shen Ming Ting (申明亭).
