Overseas Chinese and Hakkas often refer to their place of residence as "Chinatown" or "China City". But in Southeast Asia and West Asia, this name is rarely used in Chinese communities.

But in Southeast Asia and West Asia, Hakka communities like to use another abbreviation: Luoyang.

Although Luoyang is not a separate administrative region in Southeast Asia and West Asia, it is well known that Luoyang is a gathering place for Chinese.

Many places are named after Luoyang, such as Luoyang police station, Luoyang bus company and Luoyang school.

Often a region is named after Luoyang, such as Luoyang Temple, Luoyang University and Luoyang Community.

In Singapore, when it comes to Minnan, it is all Heluo, and the places where Chinese is trained are basically called Heluo training courses.

At present, there are nearly one hundred place names named after "Luoyang" in China, and there are also nearly one hundred things named after "Luoyang". This situation is also common overseas.

Dabo Palace in Luoyang is a famous Taoist temple in Singapore. It combines the architectural styles of China, Witch and Indian, and enjoys a good reputation in Southeast Asia. This palace is full of incense, with more than 50,000 visitors every month. It is the most influential ancient capital overseas: Chinese-inhabited areas with names all over Southeast Asia and West Asia.

China community is full of communities, roads, schools and hospitals named after Luoyang.

The reason why these Hakkas living abroad regard Luoyang as a synonym for China settlement reflects the influence of ancient Luoyang on the one hand.

On the other hand, during the Western Jin Dynasty, a large number of clans in the Central Plains moved south. To commemorate the old capital Luoyang, they brought this name to all parts of China and even to all parts of the world. Some of them even call themselves Heroran.
