Changyang Tujia Autonomous County
长阳土家族自治县— County — Chinese transcription(s) – Chinese – Pinyin Longtanhe Bridge Country China Province Hubei Prefecture Yichang Time zone China Standard (UTC+8) Postal code Changyang Tujia Autonomous County is an autonomous county in Hubei Province, China. It is under the administration of the prefecture-level city of Yichang.
The county is located in the basin of the Qingjiang River, a right tributary of the Yangtze. The river is flanked by mountains on both sides, the tallest of which - the Tianzhu Mountain - is 2,542 m tall. The river is dammed by the Geheyan Dam (located within the county) and the Gaoba Dam (located in the neighboring Yidu County-level City, but flooding some of the Qingjiang River valley within Changyang County as well). The resulting reservoirs provide the main water transportation route throughout much of the county.
Established in 1984 with a surface area of 3,412 square kilometers and a population in 1984 of 399,000 inhabitants, of which 295,000 were Tujia. [1]
Transportation
The new Yichang-Wanzhou Railway crosses the northwestern part of the county, with two stations - Langping and Hejiaping - located near the eponymous towns of the county.
The China National Highway 318, and the newly constructed Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway (G50) run roughly parallel to the railway. Building the expressway in this area required the construction of a number of tunnels and remarkable bridges, such as the Longtanhe Bridge just outside of Langping Town.[2]
