Yǒng'ān

Yǒng’ān grew around a settlement in the mountainous interior of Fújiàn. In 1452, following unrest in the region, the Míng established a county from lands formerly belonging to Shā County and Yóuxī. Its name means “lasting peace.” Nearby Gòngchuān was already an old settlement, its history reaching back to the Táng dynasty.
