Lüliang

Lüliang, also spelled Lvliang or Lyuliang, is a prefecture-level city in western Shanxi province, China. It borders Shaanxi province across the Yellow River to the west, and its other neighbours are Jinzhong and the provincial capital Taiyuan to the east, Linfen to the south and Xinzhou to the north. The city has a total area of 21,143 square kilometres and, according to the 2020 Chinese census, a total population of 3,398,431 inhabitants, of whom 456,355 lived in the Lishi District metropolitan or built-up area. Most of its people therefore live outside the central urban area, in the surrounding counties of the prefecture.
