Fánglíng

Fánglíng lies among the mountains of northwestern Húběi, the seat of the old prefecture of Fángzhōu. In 684 Empress Wǔ removed the Táng emperor Lǐ Xiǎn from the throne; as Prince of Lúlíng, he spent years in exile at Fángzhōu before returning to power. The Sòng later rebuilt the city north of the site associated with his residence.
