Shānyáng

Shānyáng was the county seat within the city of Huái’ān, at a key junction of the Grand Canal and the Huái River. During the Míng and Qīng, the governor-general of grain transport directed the movement of tribute grain from offices in the city. Warehouses and boatyards around nearby Qīngjiāngpǔ served the fleets travelling northward.
