Ningqiang County (simplified Chinese: 宁强县; traditional Chinese: 寧強縣; pinyin: Níngqiáng Xiàn) is a county and both the southwesternmost and westernmost county-level division of Shaanxi province, China, bordering both Sichuan and Gansu. It is under the administration of Hanzhong City. The source of the Han River is located in the county.[2]
Ningqiang is one of the counties with a sizable number of Qiang and Yi minorities.[3][4][5]
As a result of the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, 500 buildings in the county collapsed and seven people were killed, making it the worst hit area in Shaanxi.[6]
