Mianyang, Science and technology center in northern Sichuan, China
Mianyang extends across 20,281 square kilometers of land in the northwestern section of the Sichuan Basin along the Fu River at 473 meters elevation point.
The city traces its origins to 201 BCE when Emperor Gaozu of Han established the first county, then known as Fuxian, marking its military strategic position.
The presence of Qiang ethnic minority communities adds diversity to local traditions, particularly visible in the Beichuan Qiang Autonomous County cultural practices.
Mianyang Nanjiao Airport connects to major Chinese cities while the central railway station provides extensive ground transportation links throughout Sichuan province.
The city contains China Academy of Engineering Physics and Science City complex, which served as the development site of China's first nuclear weapons program.
