History
Linqing has played an important role in the history of China. In Ming and Qing times it was a great center for the distribution of textiles, grain and bricks and is also famous as the place where the tiles of the Great Wall and the Forbidden City were produced. Today the city's flourishing economy is based on a number of light industrial enterprises.
Aside from the Grand Canal, sights include a distinctive promontory, a stupa (Chinese: 舍利塔; pinyin: Shèlì Tǎ), a Ming-dynasty Hui mosques (Linqing Northern Mosque, 临清清真北寺; Línqīng Qīngzhēn Běisì, Linqing Eastern Mosque, Chinese: 临清清真东寺; pinyin: Línqīng Qīngzhēn Dōngsì), and ruins of the old customs house (钞关; Chāo Guān), Linqing City Museum (in a historical building ensemble known as the 鳌头矶; Áo Tóu Jī). In particular, the Sheli Pagoda near the Grand Canal is a well-known local landmark.
