Lingbao City

Lingbao (Chinese: 灵宝; postal: Lingpao) is a county-level city and the westernmost county-level division of Henan province, China, bordering the provinces of Shanxi to the north and Shaanxi to the west, under the administration of the prefecture-level city of Sanmenxia.

In ancient times, the Hongnong Commandery was located approximately 20 km south of there.

Since 2005, there is a HVDC back-to-back station built by ABB with a transmission rate of 360 MW.

The legend of Kuafu is said to be set in Lingbao, which has therefore previously been called Taolin (peach orchard).

[2] Lingbao City can be traced back to 114 BC as an administrative division, when it was known as Hongnong (弘农县).
