Féngchéng

Fengcheng was an ancient county associated with the upper He River country at the approaches between Guangxi and Hunan. It belonged to Hezhou under the Tang and was abolished in 971 under the Northern Song.

The He River formed part of a route connecting inland regions with Lingnan. Later administrative changes placed the surrounding country under other counties and prefectures, while rivers and mountain passes continued to shape movement across the borderlands.
