Nanning, hence the name Yongning, is located in the upper reaches of Yujiang River, at the intersection of Zuojiang River and Youjiang River, with Kunlun Pass in the north and Faka Mountain in the south. It has been an important town in southern Xinjiang since ancient times and is now the capital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region with a long history and culture. Since Jinxing County was established in the first year of Daxing, Shanxi Province (3 18 AD), it has been the seat of counties, prefectures, roads and governments in past dynasties. 1600 years later, Nanning, a heroic city, has written countless touching chapters.
