Located in the northeast of Changzhi City, at the junction of Shanxi, Hebei and Henan provinces, it is the "East Gate" of Shanxi Province, known as the "thoroughfare of the three provinces". It is adjacent to Shexian County in Hebei and Linzhou in Henan in the East, Pingshun and Lucheng in the south, Xiangyuan and Wuxiang in the west, and Zuoquan in Jinzhong in the north.

Licheng county has a long history with a civilization history of more than 2700 years. The excavation of the Western Zhou tombs in tapo proves that Licheng is the site of the ancient lihou state. Nuwa mends the sky, Chiyou contends for the sky, Xu youxier, King Yan contends for the throne, xibokan Li and other myths and historical stories are all produced here. Cultural relics such as Moyan statue of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Confucian Temple of the Song Dynasty, Shengyuan Confucian Temple of the Yuan Dynasty, Xier river of Xu you, Tomb of Feng Fengshi are all over Licheng.

Li city is rich in tourist resources and has many scenic spots. There are yellow cliff cave, Taihang Hongshi Park, wash River, South Bank of Hebei Province, pat Shan, Town God's Temple and other scenic spots. Among them, Huangya cave is the red holy land of Chinese revolution, where the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries such as Zhu De, Peng Dehuai, Liu Bocheng, Deng Xiaoping, Zuoquan and Yang Shangkun fought and lived for a long time. The Huangya arms factory they founded was the largest arms factory base of our army behind the enemy's resistance against Japan, with an annual output of weapons and ammunition, capable of equipping 16 regiments. Comrade Deng Xiaoping personally nominated Huang Yadong on March 22, 1985, which is extremely rare in the whole country. Huangyadong scenic spot is also a national patriotic education demonstration base, a key cultural relic protection unit, and a national Red Tourism classic scenic spot.
