Liángquán

Liangquan lay in the wooded Qinling Mountains on the route between Guanzhong and the Han River basin. The Northern Wei established the county in 477, and Fengzhou was later set up at its seat. Roads and plankways through the mountain valleys made the district an important approach to Sichuan. The county was eventually absorbed into Fengzhou, and in 1370 the Ming abolished the prefecture and established Feng County in its place.
