The Lüliang Intermediate People’s Court is a judicial institution in Lüliang City, Shanxi Province, China. As an intermediate court, it operates within the Chinese legal system, typically hearing appeals from lower district courts and major cases of first instance within its jurisdiction. Such courts were established and developed as part of the broader framework of China’s modern legal system reforms in the latter half of the 20th century.

Shanxi Province in northern China is renowned for its profound historical significance as the cradle of early Chinese civilization and a powerhouse of commerce and banking during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Its landscape is dotted with ancient cultural treasures, most notably the UNESCO-listed Yungang Grottoes, a spectacular complex of Buddhist cave temples dating back to the 5th century. The province is also famous for its well-preserved ancient walled cities, such as Pingyao, and its pivotal role in Chinese financial history.
