Longyan (; Hakka: Liùng-ngàm; Longyan dialect: Liông-nâ [lioŋ¹¹ nã¹¹]) is a prefecture-level city in south-western Fujian Province, China, bordering Guangdong to the south and Jiangxi to the west.
==History== In 736 AD (during the Tang dynasty), the prefecture of Tingzhou was established in western Fujian, or Minxi (), administering Changting, Huanglian and Xinluo counties. Six years later Xinluo was named Longyan for the nearby cavern, a famous scenic site.
