Ching Moon Special Municipality (/tʃiŋˈmuːn/; Shangean: 青門特別市; Morwall romanization: ching1 mun4 dak6 bit6 si5), formerly and commonly known as Queensport, is the capital and fourth-largest city of Nakong. Located within Crown Bay on Nakong's west shore, Queensport is a planned new town established by the Estmerish colonial authorities in the Colony of Nakong in 1893. Its establishment was catalyzed by the lack of space to expand government offices in Ningcho's city centre, in addition to concerns about the poor defensibility of North Bay and the desire to establish a new naval base in Crown Bay.
As the seat of government, Queensport is the official residence of both the President and Prime Minister of Nakong, as well as the meeting place of the Parliament of Nakong, the headquarters of all government departments, and the principal courthouse of the Court of Appeal. In addition, all foreign embassies to Nakong are located in Queensport, with the majority found in the neighbourhood of Ching Moon Lake.
