The Only City in China Named After 'Money,' It's Located in Gansu!
When it comes to China, the first thing that comes to mind is Chinese cuisine. China has eight major cuisines, but they no longer fully describe the beauty of Chinese food. China is a paradise for foodies. Besides food, China attracts many tourists because of its long history and culture and geographical features. Every region in this vast land of China has its unique charm, and historical cities are witnesses to the changes of times. China's only city named after currency, which has never been changed for 5000 years! It's in northwestern China!
It's Baiyin City in Gansu Province. In ancient times, silver was a very valuable metal. Although currency has changed several times from ancient times to now, silver is no longer used as currency, but silver always has its value. Baiyin City's name has aroused people's curiosity. Someone once asked me if Baiyin was rich in silver, so it was called Baiyin City. Here, I want to clarify that Baiyin City has various types of metal ores, including copper, lead, zinc, cobalt, gold, silver, as well as coal, gypsum, limestone, zeolite, and spodulite. The ore quality is good, and there are 30 kinds of rare and precious metals that coexist. The coal reserves are 1.5 billion tons, the gypsum reserves are 200 million tons, and the limestone reserves are more than 10 billion tons.
Of course! Not everyone who comes to Baiyin will get rich, you also need to adapt to Baiyin's climate! Baiyin City is located in the transition zone between the Loess Plateau and the Tengger Desert. The south is a warm-temperate semi-arid early climate zone, and the north is a cold-temperate dry early climate zone. Overall, Baiyin's air is relatively dry, and you need to apply skincare in the morning, or the feeling will be gone by noon!
