History

edit

The area of present-day Linhe was first incorporated under Emperor Wu of the Han dynasty in 127 BCE, and appears by name in Volume 28 of the Book of Han.[1]

The area remained sparsely inhabited before the late Ming dynasty, when an exodus of people from fleeing famine in other provinces, such as Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Shandong, established new agricultural ventures in Linhe.[1]

Linhe County was established in 1925.[1]

The county was taken by Communist forces on September 19, 1949.[1]

Linhe was upgraded to a county-level city on November 22, 1984.[1]

On August 26, 2004, Linhe was changed from a county-level city to a district.[1]

Climate

edit

On average, the district receives 3,254 hours of sunlight annually, has an annual temperature of 6.8 °C, and experiences 140 frost-free days per year.[1]
