Xifeng_District
Xifeng, Qingyang
County in Gansu, China
Xifeng District (Chinese: 西峰区; pinyin: Xīfēng Qū) is a district and the seat of the city of Qingyang in Gansu Province, China. It has an area of 996 km2 (385 sq mi) and a population of 376,800 in 2019.[2]
Inhabited since at least 200,000 years ago, it first became an important town in the Ming dynasty, due to its location on the route from Chang'an (Xi'an) to Ningxia.[3]
In 1985, Xifeng was upgraded to a city in Qingyang Prefecture. In 2002, Qingyang Prefecture was upgraded to a prefecture-level city, and Xifeng City (county-level) became its district.[4]
