Xīnyí

The country around Xīnyí lies among the lowlands and hills north of Luòmǎ Lake. In antiquity it belonged to the territory of Zhōngwú, whose old capital stood beneath Wú Mountain. Jiànlíng County, named for a nearby mountain, was later established in the region. Rivers and low ridges distinguish this part of the plain between Xúzhōu and the coast.
