Mianyang is the second largest prefecture-level city of Sichuan province in Southwest China. The area is located in the northwest of Sichuan Province on the middle and upper reaches of the Fujiang River. It neighbors Nanchong, Suining, Deyang and Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture within the province, and is bordered by Gansu Province in the north. Mianyang, called Fujun in ancient times, had advanced in agriculture during the Qin (221BC-206BC) and Han (206BC-220AD) dynasties. It has a history of over 2,200 thousand years since the Emperor Gaozu of Han established the first county in this area in 201BC. Due to its advantageous geographic location, it had always been a town of great military importance and formed a natural defense for Chengdu. Northern Mianyang is situated in the northwestern edge of Sichuan Basin. The terrain of the city slopes downward from northwest to southeast.
