Huajialing Town (Chinese: 华家岭镇) is a township-level administrative unit under the jurisdiction of Tongwei County, Dingxi City, Gansu Province, People's Republic of China.[1] It is located roughly equidistant from the seats of Tongwei, Huining and Anding (Dingxi city).[2]

In 2017, the Civil Affairs Department of Gansu Province approved the abolition of Huajialing Township and the establishment of Huajialing Town.[3]

The old Xi'an-Lanzhou highway passes through Huajialing, this road was first constructed in the 17th century and formed an important artery, especially during the Second Sino-Japanese War and the Chinese Civil War, when the area saw heavy fighting.[4] During the 1980s the section through Huajialing lost its importance as a new route was built.[2]

The town is at the center of a reforestation programme of Gansu's Loess Plateau region, which commenced in 1971.[5][6]
