Pingyang County

Pingyang County (simplified Chinese: 平阳县; traditional Chinese: 平陽縣; pinyin: Píngyáng Xiàn, Wenzhounese:ben yi) is a county in the prefecture-level city of Wenzhou, located along the southern coast of Zhejiang province, China. There are two main cities with many surrounding villages in Pingyang. The two main settlements are called Aojiang [zh] and Kunyang (Kunyang is commonly called Pingyang, however Pingyang is also the name of the county). Aojiang is located ten minutes outside of Kunyang. Various villages and areas also classified under Pingyang County extend for about a one-hour radius.

Towns:

The only township is Qingjie She Ethnic Township (青街畲族乡). Pingyang county also administrates the popular local tourist destination, Nanji Island (南麂岛).

Pingyang made international headlines in March 2017 when local Christian pastor, Huang Yizi was jailed for a year for protesting at the enforced removal of a cross from Pingyang's Salvation church. 50 people were arrested during the protest.
