Tongshan County, Hubei
Tongshan (Chinese: 通山县; pinyin: Tōngshān Xiàn) is a county within the Municipality of Xianning, Hubei Province of China.
The county is located along Hubei's mountainous south-eastern border with Jiangxi. Its best known tourist attraction is the Jiugong Mountain National Park (九宫山风景区).
The county is roughly coterminous with the upper part of the basin of the Fushui River, which flows eastward, into the neighboring Yangxin County and then falls into the Yangtze. A fairly large Fushui Reservoir (Fushui Shuiku) is formed on this river and its tributaries within Tongshan County by a dam that's actually built in Yangxin County, a bit downstream of the county line. There are also a few smaller reservoirs on the Fushui's tributaries.
The county seat is in the town of Tongyang (通羊); as it is customary in China, this location is usually labeled on less-detailed maps simply as "Tongshan County" (通山县) or "Tongshan".
The county is served by China National Highway 106 (G106), which joins with G316 near the eastern tip of the county.
