Where is Linfen?

Linfen is located in the southwest of Shanxi Province, in the middle reaches of the Yellow River. The easternmost section is east of the west slope of Maliang Township in Anze County, the westernmost section is near Zuitou in Nanzhuang Township, Yonghe County, the southernmost section is at the foot of Wang Ping, the main peak of Zhongtiao Mountain south of Guanjiayao in Dahe Township, Yicheng County, and the northernmost section is near Baijiaya in Potou Township, Yonghe County. The maximum longitudinal distance from north to south exceeds170km, and the maximum lateral distance from east to west is about 200km. The total area of the city is 20,275 square kilometers, accounting for 13% of the whole province. Linfen is "Qin Shu is in Nantong, with secluded land in the north, Lei Huo in the east and Hefen in the west". The whole area is roughly irregular trapezoid, with Changzhi Jincheng in the east, Shaanxi across the surging Yellow River in the west, Jinzhong and Lvliang in the north and Yuncheng in the south. Because of its important geographical position, it has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.

Located in the semi-arid and semi-humid monsoon climate zone, it belongs to the temperate continental climate, with four distinct seasons and simultaneous rain and heat. However, due to the influence of topography, the climate in mountainous Pingchuan is quite different, and the climate characteristics are quite different.

natural resource

Linfen is rich in resources, especially mineral resources, and is known as "fertile soil" and "hometown of wheat and cotton". It is one of the energy and heavy chemical industry bases and wheat and cotton production bases in Shanxi Province.

Land resources The total land area of the city is 20,275 square kilometers. Due to the influence of hydrothermal conditions, the soil in Linfen city is fully developed, forming a deep clay layer with rich nutrition. The zonal soil widely distributed in cities is cinnamon soil, in addition to grassland meadow soil, brown soil, meadow soil, swamp soil and other types. Meadow soil is mainly distributed in river valleys, especially on the banks of Fenhe River from Linfen to Huozhou, which is soft and fertile. Grassland meadow soil is distributed in individual peaks of Huoshan Mountain, Zhongtiao Mountain and Luliang Mountain with higher terrain. Wet soil, high temperature and rich organic matter are important resources for opening up natural pastures and developing animal husbandry. Linfen city is rich in land resources, with concentrated distribution of stable and high-yield fertile fields. Because of the "two rivers, three mountains and five ridges", the land types are diverse, and the area suitable for forest and grass is large. However, the forest coverage rate is low and soil erosion is serious. According to the land use situation, by the end of 1998, the city had used 1523.3 thousand hectares of land, accounting for 75. 1% of the total land area, including 523.7 thousand hectares of cultivated land, accounting for 25.8% of the total area, and 585.2 thousand hectares of suitable forest land, accounting for 28.9%. Linfen city is also rich in reserve land resources. A large number of saline-alkali wasteland, sandy wasteland and marshland can be improved and reclaimed for agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry, but it needs a lot of investment in drainage, river regulation and bank protection projects. The utilization rate of land development in the city is 75. 1%, the land reclamation rate is 26.2%, the multiple cropping index of cultivated land is 126%, the agricultural land rate is 68%, the construction land rate is 5.6%, and the population density is 185 people /km2.
