Fēngchuān

Fengchuan stands near the meeting of the He and West rivers, downstream from Wuzhou. The county took its name under the Sui and served for centuries as the seat of Fengzhou. In 1369 the Ming abolished the prefecture and placed Fengchuan under Deqing; the county remained in that jurisdiction under the Qing. The rivers flowing past its town carry water from the mountains and valleys of Guangxi toward the Pearl River Delta.
