An accidental fire destroyed the Thirteen Factories in Guangzhou in 1822, ending the seventeen-factory configuration maintained since 1770.
The Thirteen Factories, the foreign-trading neighbourhood along the Pearl River in southwestern Guangzhou, were destroyed by fire in 1822 by accident. Seventeen factories had been kept up at the site since 1770, a number that the great fire of 1822 brought to an end. The neighbourhood had existed since around 1684 and was destroyed twice more, in 1841 and 1856. The supplied passages give no exact day, casualty figure, or building count for the blaze.
