Today, we will focus on the town of Sanhui in Quxian County and the town of Sanhui in Hechuan, in addition to the same name, these two towns have some similarities.
Sanhui Town, Qu county, Sichuan
This is a township whose geographical elements can be comparable to the county seat, and the county seat of Quxian Is located on the qujiang river, where the flowing river flows into the Qujiang River, which is the confluence of the two rivers. The same is true of Sanhui Town, where the Ba River and the Zhou River meet to form the Qu River, hence the name Sanhui Town. In ancient times, the river was the main road of transportation, and the geographical location of Sanhui Town took full advantage and was the basis for the development of Sanhui.
Sanhui Town was founded in the Northern Song Dynasty, is a thousand-year-old town, the history is very long. During the Qing Dynasty, a county office was also set up here, which is enough to see the influence of Sanhui Town.
Relying on the advantages of water transport, various materials in the river basin are gathered here to form a bustling market. The gathering of the population directly promoted the development of handicrafts, vinegar, pots, matches, etc., which were once the famous products of Sanhui. Convenient water transportation, coupled with abundant products, makes the merchants and merchants in sanhui town gathered together, and it is very lively.

Today's Sanhui Town is still a large town in Qu County, but compared with before, the traffic advantage is no longer obvious. The water transport of the small river is lonely, and the railway station in Sanhui Town is just an ordinary station, with few stops and no obvious advantages. Brilliant has become the past, in the face of the future, Sanhui needs to find a positioning and seek development.

(Hechuan Sanhui Terrain)
Although the name of the town comes from the confluence of three rivers, compared with Sanhui Town in Quxian County, the three rivers in Sanhui Town in Hechuan are too small to be regarded as a river ditch and do not have the conditions for boating. Hechuan Sanhui Town (Sanhui Dam) is located in the mountain trough of Huaying City, so how did such a mountain town develop?
Originally, the area around SanhuiBa was rich in coal resources, and in the last century, the first and third mines of the Tianfu Mining Bureau were stationed here. Coal mines not only bring a large population, but also drive the development of all aspects of Sanhui Dam. On the Sanhuiba Market, there are many shops and bustling.
