Qiān'ān

Qian'an lies on the Luan River below the Yan Mountains. Under the Liao, people taken from Anxi in central Hebei were settled here, and their new county retained the name of their former home. The Jin renamed it Qian'an in 1167, referring to the migration. Though briefly absorbed into Lulong under the Yuan, the county was restored and continued under the Ming and Qing.
