It belongs to the Jinzhong prefecture-level city. Its population is 428,000 (2014). It is a key transportation point connecting the Taiyuan Basin and Guanzhong, and is the junction of the Tongpu Line (Datong-Huashan) and the Jiexi Line (Jiexiu-Yangquanqu). Along with Pingyao County, Qi County, and Taigu County, which are adjacent to the northeast along the Tongpu Line, it was the commercial center of Shanxi until the Republic of China period, backed by its rich products. Mian Mountain (Jie Mountain) and Hongshanquan to the south of the city are ancient scenic spots.
