Hánshān

Hanshan lies between the Yangtze and the Huai River, east of Lake Chao. Named for a mountain within its territory, the county was first established in the Tang. During the wars at the end of the Yuan, it was abolished in 1367 and its territory divided between neighbouring jurisdictions. The Ming restored Hanshan County in 1380 under Hezhou. Its towns and villages occupied the country between the lake and the Yangtze, among hills and waterways.
