Yongjing (Xiao'erjing: ) is a county in Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture in China's Gansu Province. The county seat, the town (zhen) of Liujiaxia, is located about 80 km south-west from the provincial capital city, Lanzhou. As is the case with most Chinese county seats, Liujiaxia Town is labeled on most less-detailed maps simply as "Yongjing" or "Yongjing County". The Liujiaxia Dam on the Yellow River is located on the eastern outskirts of Liujiaxia Town. [edit] History
Yongjing's history goes back approximately 5000 years. It was part of the ancient Western Qiang state. In the Han Dynasty it was part of Jincheng or Gold City. For many dynasties after that, it was part of Hezhou. Not until 1928 did it become part of Linxia. [edit] Research Tips
