Flora and fauna
The type locality of Sinocyclocheilus lateristriatus, a cyprinid fish endemic to China, is in Luliang County.[1] Similarly, Schuchertella luliangensis, a Permian brachiopod, has been described from the Kuangshan Formation in Luliang County (and named after the county).[2]
In media
The county has obtained questionable visibility in international headlines after it emerged that the county government had presented data exaggerating the economic performance of the county.[3]
