Liuhe

Liuhe is a place name in China that can refer to several different locations and landmarks, written with different Chinese characters (most commonly 六合 or 六和). The two most prominent uses are a district in Nanjing and a historic pagoda in Hangzhou.

Liuhe District (六合区) is a district of Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu Province. Located in the urban area of the city, it comprises multiple subdistricts and towns and forms part of Nanjing’s administrative and economic framework.

Liuhe Pagoda, also known as the Six Harmonies Pagoda (六和塔), is a historic Buddhist pagoda in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. It stands on the southern bank of the Qiantang River and was built in 970 during the Song Dynasty by Qian Liu, founder of the Wuyue Kingdom. The structure has long served as a landmark for river navigation and flood-related purposes.

In addition to these, various towns and subdistricts named Liuhe (often written as Liuhe Zhen or Liuhe Jie) exist across China, reflecting the common nature of Liuhe as a toponym in different prefectures and counties. The name may appear with different Chinese characters, leading to separate local histories and identities.
