Tingzhou, Longyan

The town of Tingzhou (汀州镇) is the seat of the Changting County, Longyan government, Party and police.

In early April 1932, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and others held a military conference to attack Zhangzhou at the Church of Christ in China.

[citation needed] The county town bears the name of the large pre-Republican prefecture which it long administered; Tingzhou fu encompassed Ninghua and Qingliu counties in Sanming municipality as well as the entirety of Longyan.

The town is the seat of a modest cathedral built by Roman Catholic bishop Johann Lesinski.

To this day the territory of the Imperial-era prefecture Tingzhou fu remains, in the eyes of the Holy See, a diocese under the Metropolitan at Fuzhou.
