Ānfú

Ānfú lies in the Lǐ River country of northwestern Hunan, between the western hills and the Dòngtíng Lake plain. Its name came from an old military post. In 1729 the Qing created Ānfú County from lands previously belonging to the Jiǔxī and Yǒngdìng guards and part of Lǐ Zhou, establishing the county seat at Péijiāhé. The new county brought together districts that had earlier been administered through separate military and civil jurisdictions.
