Geography
editPitong, the seat of Pidu, is located 10 kilometers (6.2 mi) from downtown Chengdu. It covers an area of 437.5 square kilometers (168.9 sq mi).[6]
History
editDuring the Warring States period, the area of the present Pidu belonged to the ancient kingdom of Shu. In 314 BC, it was conquered by the state of Qin, which organized Pi County two years later in 312 BC.[citation needed]
In the 19th century, the area was famed for the quality of its tobacco, reckoned the best in Sichuan.[3]
It is now[when?] seeking to attract electronics and IT corporations and, in 2015, applied for elevation to urban district status.[citation needed]
