Píngyú

Pingyu lies on the plains east of Runing. An old city at Sheqiao preserves the site of the ancient state of Shen and of a county established in the Qin period. The county was absorbed into Ruyang under the Yuan, leaving Pingyu as a historic place name within the wider Runing region. South of the old city, a Buddhist monk's memorial tower at Puzhao Temple dates from the Jin dynasty, another reminder of the area's long history.
