Tangya Tusi City, located in Xianfeng County, Hubei, is the historic capital of Qin clan Tusi (Chinese: 覃氏土司) of Tangya. The Qin clan were the rulers of the Tangya Tusi and hereditarily governed a territory of 600 square kilometres (230 sq mi) for four centuries in the modern-day Xianfeng County. As the capital, the site was built in 1355 during the late Yuan dynasty and was abandoned in 1755 during the Qing dynasty. [2]
