Liǔchéng

Liucheng stands on the Long River in the country north of Liuzhou. Its old seat lay on the river's southern bank; in 1265 the seat of Liuzhou was moved there and the county seat shifted to the northern bank. Both moved again in the Yuan period. Early in the Ming, Liucheng's county seat was established on the eastern bank. A brick wall was built around the town during the Chenghua reign, under the direction of prefect He Chuying.
