Luliang County

Luliang County (simplified Chinese: 陆良县; traditional Chinese: 陸良縣; pinyin: Lùliáng Xiàn) is a county under the administration of the prefecture-level city of Qujing, in the east of Yunnan province of southwestern China. It borders Luoping County to the east, Yiliang County, Kunming to the west, Shizong County, Luxi County, Yunnan and Shilin County to the south, and Qilin District and Malong District to the north.

Luliang County has 2 subdistricts, 7 towns and 2 townships.

The type locality of Sinocyclocheilus lateristriatus, a cyprinid fish endemic to China, is in Luliang County. Similarly, Schuchertella luliangensis, a Permian brachiopod, has been described from the Kuangshan Formation in Luliang County (and named after the county).

The county has obtained questionable visibility in international headlines after it emerged that the county government had presented data exaggerating the economic performance of the county.
