Nanping[a] is a third-tier[3] prefecture-level city in northwestern Fujian Province, People's Republic of China. It borders Ningde to the east, Sanming to the south, and the provinces of Zhejiang and Jiangxi to the north and west respectively. Part of the famous Bú-î Mountains range is located in this prefecture.[4] Its population was 2,680,645 as of the 2020 census, of whom 795,448 lived in the built-up (or metro) area made up of Yanping and Jianyang urban districts.
Nanping is a picturesque old city, located on a hill near the fall of the Jianxi Brook into the Min, and surrounded by high stone walls, which were used to prevent artillery fire. They formed a considerable obstacle to anything hostile in past conflicts.[5] The city flower is lily.
