Guangnan West Circuit or Guangnan West Province was one of the major circuits during the Song dynasty. Its administrative area corresponds to roughly the modern provinces of Guangxi and Hainan, as well as the western part of Guangdong (Leizhou Peninsula).[2]
Guangnan West Circuit and Guangnan East Circuit were split from Guangnan Circuit in 988.
After the Yuan dynasty was established, most of the Guangnan West Circuit became part of the much larger Huguang province, whose capital was at Wuchang.
