Lóngyán

Lóngyán lies among the mountains of western Fújiàn. In 736 the Táng established Xīnluó County here, with its early seat around the hill of Dàfēngshān. The settlement later became known as Lóngyán and formed part of the inland country governed from Zhāngzhōu. Its surrounding hills separated the valleys of western Fújiàn from the coastal plain.
