Qīngtái

Qingtai was a market settlement north of the old Tang county seat in the Nanyang basin. A local gazetteer lists Qingtai Inn sixty li from the county town, among a network of market places serving the surrounding countryside. The same record notes an embankment called Qingtai northwest of the town. Some of the county's older markets had disappeared by the time the gazetteer was compiled, while others had arisen in their place.
