Yúnxī

Yúnxī lies in the mountains west of Yúnyáng, near the Hàn River and the routes into Shǎnxī. The Míng established the county in 1476, separating districts from the older territories of Wǔyáng and Shàngjīn. Its name marked its position west of Yún, while its valleys linked settlements across the borderlands of Húběi and Shǎnxī.
