Taiyuan, abbreviated as "Bing", was historically known as Jinyang and is also referred to as Bingzhou and Longcheng. With a history of over 2,500 years, it is renowned for its strategic location, described as "the key to four strategic passes and the capital controlling the Five Frontiers". Taiyuan has a warm temperate continental monsoon climate, with brief and windy spring and autumn seasons. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, the Fen River, the second largest tributary of the Yellow River, flows from north to south through the city. Known for its beauty as "the splendid Taiyuan city", Taiyuan is an ideal city for hosting the 8th Nonlinear Systems and Control Conference.
