Lueyang County, or Lüeyang County (simplified Chinese: 略阳县; traditional Chinese: 略陽縣; pinyin: Lüèyáng Xiàn), is a county of Hanzhong, in the southwest of Shaanxi province, China, bordering Gansu province to the north and west and located on the upper reaches of the Jialing River.[2] It was first founded in 111 BC.[3] As a result of the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, 95% of buildings in the county seat were damaged.[4] In August 2020, the county seat was flooded by the Jialing River.[5]
