The county administers 6 towns, 12 townships, 260 administrative villages, and 1118 villager groups.

The area has been inhabited since prehistoric times with over 190 archaeological sites having been uncovered. In 115 B.C. a county called Shangju (上邽)[2] was established in current Qingshui. It is the birthplace of Zhao Chongguo (赵充国), a famous Han dynasty general.[1] According to some historians, Genghis Khan died in what is now Qingshui.[3][4][5]

Qingshui has some of the most fertile agricultural lands in the region. Crops that are grown include wheat, corn, artichokes, beans, as well as economic crops such as Chinese medicinal plants, flax, sunflower, hemp, vegetables, and flowers.[1]

Циншу́й (кит. упр. 清水, пиньинь Qīngshuǐ) — уезд городского округа Тяньшуй провинции Ганьсу (КНР). Название уезда означает «чистая вода» и связано с тем, что во время создания уезда на его территории имелся большой утёс, от источника на вершине которого по четырём сторонам стекала вода.
