The town covers a total area of 173 square kilometers, governs 19 administrative villages and 4 residential committees, with a total population of 41,000. With a history of over 1,300 years, it was called Shangqiang in the Tang Dynasty, also known as Shizhu, named after the Tang Dynasty scholar Shi Jianwu who once lived there.

The area features unique climatic conditions and lies within the transitional zone between mountainous and plains terrain... More details about Daixi Town++
