Ningcheng County (Mongolian: ᠨᠢᠩᠴᠧᠩ ᠰᠢᠶᠠᠨ; Chinese: 宁城县) is a county of southeastern Inner Mongolia, China, bordering Liaoning province to the east. It is under the administration of Chifeng City.[2]
The daohugouthallus extinct genus of lichen was found near Daohugou village in Ningcheng County.[3] The county contains the historical site of "Liao Middle Capital" Dading Fu, one of five capitals of Liao. The city was later conquered by the 12th-century Jurchen Jin dynasty, who also named it as their Middle Capital; later they renamed it as the Northern Capital after moving the court to present-day Beijing.[4]
Today, all that remains of the historical capital are two pagodas, one built by the Liao dynasty and one built by the Jin dynasty; they are located near Daming Town, about 20km west of the county government Tianyi Town, and about 120km south of the prefectural city Chifeng.
Transport
[edit]The county is served by two railway stations. Ningcheng Station, opened in 2020, is a station of the Chifeng–Kazuo high-speed railway, and provides high-speed rail services to Chifeng, Shenyang, and Beijing.[5] The older Tianyi Railway Station was built in 1935,[6] and is a station of the Yechi Railway that runs between Jianping County and Chifeng. While it primary serves as a cargo station today, there remains a once-daily passenger service from the station.[7]
Administrative divisions
[edit]Ningcheng County is made up of 3 subdistricts, 13 towns and 2 townships.
