Xuānhuà

Xuanhua was the county attached to the city of Nanning on the Yong River. Its seat stood south of the river before being moved to the northern bank under the Song. The county remained the seat of Nanning under the Yuan, Ming and Qing, while the river brought merchants and boat communities into contact with its markets. A Ming gazetteer recorded the trade in salt, betel nut, silk and cloth in Xuanhua.
