Wǔyáng

Wuyang is a county town on the plain south of the Sha River. An old geographical account describes springs southeast of the town whose bubbling waters gave rise to a stream, and a lake to the north. The county's walls required repeated attention in the Qing: in 1658 the magistrate Zhang Jin repaired all four gate towers, and later officials had damaged stretches of wall, battlements and a defensive platform restored.
