Yuhang is one of ten urban districts of the prefecture-level city of Hangzhou,the capital of Zhejiang Province,East China. Its 2013 population was estimated at 1.17 million. Its inhabitants speak both Mandarin and a variety of Hangzhounese,a Wu dialect.
On April 9,2021,Linping District was established,consisting of the former Yuhang subdistricts of Linping,Donghu,Nanyuan,Xingqiao,Yunhe,Qiaosi,Chongxian and the Town of Tangxi. [1] [2]
Yuhang is the largest district of Hangzhou. The administration center of Yuhang District is Linping,which is a subcenter of Hangzhou located in the northeast side of downtown area. It connects with the downtown via Metro Line 3.
The district contains the remains of Neolithic settlements from the Liangzhu period.
Prior to the expansion of modern Hangzhou,Yuhang formed a separate city. It is the earliest settlement recorded in the area of present-day Hangzhou. Chinese scholars traditionally interpreted its name as a mistake for "Yu's Ferry" ( 禹 航 ;Yǔháng),after the legendary account of Yu the Great's gathering of his lords at Mount Kuaiji around 2000 BC. This is now thought to be a folk etymology and Yuhang ( Old Chinese:*La-gang) is almost certainly an ancient transliteration of an old Baiyue name. [3]
Yuhang was part of Kuaiji Commandery prior to the growth of Hangzhou following the 7th-century construction of the Sui's Grand Canal. It was then administered from Hangzhou.
