Liuba

alternative Liu-pa

1. A county of Hanzhong, Shaanxi, China.

   The initial motivation to go on a pilgrimage is also often twofold: one cannot pass Hanzhong without going to the Zhangliangmiao in Liuba County, and it is good to go to a holy place if one has a sick mother or a child of marriageable age.
