Yulin, alternately romanized as Watlam, is one of the fourteen prefecture-level cities of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, People's Republic of China. Its Chinese name was changed in 1956 from the historical name "鬱林", which is homophonous in Standard Mandarin, but different in the local dialect of Yue Chinese; "鬱" is while "玉" is. The former romanization follows the pronunciation of the historical name in Yue Chinese. Its built-up area is made of two urban districts, and Beiliu City was home to 2,438,467 inhabitants as of 2020 census. By the end of 2024, the city's resident population is 5,804,200, including 3,051,10 million in urban areas.
