Awugyung

Awugyung (: 敖鄉; : Áoxiāng; YinYangiese: Áwugyụ̄ng) is a city in the YinYangian state of Xiang. It is the state's fourth most populous city with a population of over 10,000. It lies in the north of the Sang River, and is the economic hub of northern Xiang.

Awugyung is the core of the Aoxiang metropolitan area, which is the state's largest metropolitan area by land area. It was settled as a village in approximately 1583, and was incorporated as a city in 1772. However, it was not recognized as such until 1932. The city is most famous for the Point Plaza, which is the oldest high-rise building in YinYangia.

Etymology
The name is a transliteration of the Marakaian word, 'Ahozong', which meant 'will stand'. The name directly implies that the city would stand as long as humanity exists. It was once one of the few Marakaian villages left, until the Han started to settle in the 1800s, therefore the name was transliterated to 'Aoxiang', which is what is locally called.
