The city's name literal means "five great joint ponds", referring to a set of interconnected volcanogenic lakes formed after the eruption of the Laoheishan (老黑山, means "Old Black Mountain") and Huoshaoshan (火烧山, means "Fire Burn Mountain") volcanoes in 1720–21.[1][2] The city's territory incorporates part of a volcanic field, which contains a APGN- and UNESCO-listed geopark.
