Xiangyang

The Han River flows through the center of Xiangyang, dividing the urban districts of Fancheng in the north and Xiangcheng in the south.

During the Mongol conquest of the Song dynasty, Xiangyang and Fancheng withstood a prolonged siege lasting six years before their eventual surrender.

The districts of Xiangyang preserve traditional Chinese architecture through ancient city walls, which represent continuous habitation spanning over two millennia.

The municipality contains three urban districts, five counties, and two county-level cities, with a population exceeding 5.2 million residents according to 2020 data.

The city maintains one of China's oldest intact city walls, located in the southern section of the former Xiangyang fortress.
