Xiliangfu (Chinese: 西涼府), also known as Liangzhou, Lingchu Serkap, or the Liugu Tibetans (Chinese: 六谷部), was a Tibetan tribal confederation that ruled modern Wuwei in Gansu Province, China. It gained independence from the Guiyi Circuit in the late 9th century and was conquered by the Tanguts of Western Xia and Uyghurs in 1015 and 1016.[1][2]
