Linfen

Linfen is located in the southwestern part of Shanxi Province. Located in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, it is near Changzhi and Jincheng. This is one of ancient Chinese civilization's birthplaces and it is famous for its long history and culture. Sometimes called "the first capital of China" the city is scattered about with all kinds of cultural relics and historical sites. Rich in wheat and cotton resources, this city is one of North China's important grain and cotton production bases.
