Ēnpíng

Enping lies in western Guangdong on the Jin River, between Xinhui and Yangjiang. Once a county seat under the Tang, it was reduced to a fortified settlement under the Song. In 1466 Ming officials built a brick-walled fort at Enping, and in 1478 the county was restored using land from Yangjiang, Xinxing and Xinhui. Its new seat grew around the fort, with offices and a school for the county.
