New enough, long enough, well written article about an interesting place. Thank you
Mx. Granger. The quotation from the source translates well to the hook, which is interesting. My only question is whether www.dahuawang.com is a

Thanks for the review. The source from www.dahuawang.com is a reproduction of a local news article from the Shantou Special Economic Zone Evening News (汕头特区晚报), which should be reliable for this type of information about local history and geography. —

Did anyone consider whether "kilometer" should be spelt "kilometre"? I take "kilometer" to be US English spelling, and this article seems not to be US-related. Thanks,

Because this article doesn't have a strong tie to any English-speaking country, it's fine for it to use any national variety of English. The article currently uses US spelling, which should be retained unless there's a good reason to switch to another variety.
WP:ENGVAR is the relevant guideline. —
