History


The Shiji and Hanshu state that around 104 BCE, the Han first built fortifications west of the district of Lingui and established the province of Jiuquan (in modern-day Gansu) to facilitate a safe route to the lands of the northwest along the Silk Road.[1] As a result, more and more envoys were sent through this territory to Anxi, Yancai, Lixuan, Tiaozhi, and Shendu.


Administrative divisions


The district administers 8 towns, 1 township and 2 ethnic townships:[2]
