Yongcheng

Yongcheng (Chinese: 永城; pinyin: Yǒngchéng) is county-level city in Henan province, China, and is the easternmost county-level division of the province, bordering Anhui province on all sides except the northwest and due north. Yongcheng has significant coal deposits and some insignificant magnet deposits. In 2014, Yongcheng was upgraded to a provincially directly administered city. It is the former site of Shiyuan (柿园), the capital of Han-era Liang. It includes the excavated mausoleum of the fabulously wealthy Liu Wu, prince of Liang, now a museum (柿园汉墓) famed for its murals. In 2015, thousands of students in Yongcheng 3rd High School (永城三高) led a riot expressing dissatisfaction following the assault of an elderly woman by school staff. They damaged school property and police vehicles before the situation was de-escalated through mediation.
