A Short Geography Lesson...

Good evening all,

Just resting up from our full day of Christmas shopping and now watching the Flyers let one slip awap to the NJ Devils. Presently 2-2 in the 2nd.

Anyway...

As you may or may not know, Kyle is from
Fengcheng, which is in Yichun, which is in Jiangxi Province, in the Southeast part of China.

Geographically speaking, Jiangxi Province is home for 42 Million people (of the 1.3 Billion in China).
Here is a map showing Jiangxi:
























Now, within Jiangxi Province there are things/regions called "Prefecture-Level Cities" (PLC). Yichun is the PLC, within Jiangxi, in which Fengcheng is located. Yichun is home for 5,100,000 people.

Here is a map of Yichun:






















Flyers are back up 3-2.

OK, then...Fengcheng is a "County-Level
City" and is located within Yichun. Fengcheng is home for a lot of people (don't know exactly...).

Here is a snapshot of a Google Earth view that shows Fengcheng (and it's location relative to Nanchang which is the capital of Jiangxi Province.




























I've also added a few LINKS (over on the right side, up top) that might be useful.

If you link to the Fengcheng (Tageo) site, there is a cool feature that works with Google Earth.

Go to the link on this site that says:

“KML Export for Google Earth” on the left side. It'll open Google Earth and take you right to Fengcheng.

Let me know if these links don't work.

That's it for now.

Good night, all.
