Dàtián

Dàtián lies in the hills where the territories of Yánpíng, Zhāngzhōu, and Quánzhōu meet. In the Míng period officials sought to establish a county here, citing the difficulties of governing a mountainous borderland. Lands were drawn from several neighbouring counties, and Dàtián came under Yánpíng Prefecture. Its bridge, first built in 1472, was rebuilt during the Jiājìng reign.
