Neixiang County (simplified Chinese: 内乡县; traditional Chinese: 內鄉縣; pinyin: Nèixiāng Xiàn) is a county under the jurisdiction of Nanyang City, in the southwest of Henan province, China. It has an area of 2,465 km2 (952 sq mi) and a population of 610,000 as of 2002.[3]
Neixiang is best known because it has China's best preserved Yamen, or county government office. The Yamen in Neixiang was originally built in the Yuan Dynasty and has a history of more than 700 years. It was destroyed and rebuilt several times, and the existing architecture mostly dates to the Qing Dynasty when it was built by Zhang Bingtao in 1882; it took three years to build. It has an area of 20,000 m2 (220,000 sq ft), and there are more than 260 existing rooms. It is currently China's best-preserved feudal county government office.
It is home to Neixiang Air Base.[4]
