Trying to make a guess.

"Northeast" - examples Shenyang, Dalian, Changchun, Harbin. Probably 3 provinces of Manchuria.

"North" - examples Beijing, Tianjin, Jinan, Qingdao, Shijiazhuang.

That covers Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei and Shandong.

"East" - examples Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Ningbo.

That would be Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

"South" - examples Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Fuzhou, Xiamen, Nanning, Sanya.

That means Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Fujian

"Central" - examples Wuhan, Changsha, Zhengzhou, Hefei, Nanchang.

That includes Hubei, Hunan, Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu.

"West" - examples Chongqing, Chengdu, Xian, Kunming, Urumqi, Lhasa.

That includes Yunnan, Sichuan, Chongqing, Shaanxi, Tibet, Xinjiang.

And now to borders.

Is Guizhou to be classified with "West", "South" or "Central"?

Is Shanxi "North" along with Hebei or "West" along with Shaanxi?

Is Inner Mongolia "North" or "West"?

 

[CoCoMilk]

wouldn't it be better to accept any cities under provinces of that perspective region...rather than exclusively provincial capitals and big ones?

for example

"Northeast" - examples Liaoning, Jilin, and Heilongjiang

"East" - examples Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and etc


Edit: then sticky all the provincial capitals and big ones in their perspective region.

[CoCoMilk]

put all the threads on the front page like "Forum Related Issues 论坛有关的问", China's Economy - News and Projects III,‎ and Technology and Scientific development of China into the right section under city hall or Tea House. If not eliminate tea house and put all the thread on the front page?

Guiyang has been seen in West.

That leaves 2 other regions on the borders of West.

Is Shanxi West like Shaanxi, or North like Hebei?

Is Inner Mongolia West or North?

It's better to have provinces rather than cities.

 

[VECTROTALENZIS]

It should be this way:


East
Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang,


North
Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia


South
Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Hainan


Central
Hubei, Hunan, Henan, Anhui, Jiangxi


Soutwest
Chongqing, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Tibet


Northeast
Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang


Northwest
Shaanxi, Ningxia, Gansu, Qinghai, Xinjiang

 

[chornedsnorkack]

Is Inner Mongolia West or North?

Inner Mongolia has been seen in North.

And so was Shanxi.

It's better to have provinces rather than cities.

I use cities in descriptions to promote the major cities in each sub-forums. Traditionally provinces shoud be put here but in SSC most forumers only know the cities not provinces.

Your thought?

 

[big-dog]

It should be this way:


East
Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang,


North
Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia


South
Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Hainan


Central
Hubei, Hunan, Henan, Anhui, Jiangxi


Soutwest
Chongqing, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Tibet


Northeast
Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang


Northwest
Shaanxi, Ningxia, Gansu, Qinghai, Xinjiang

Actually I combined Southwest and Northwest because there're not many posts in Northwest. I may split them later when the post number grows.

 

[big-dog]

Edit: then sticky all the provincial capitals and big ones in their perspective region.

yes all tier-I cities have been made sticky in respective sub-forums.

 

[chornedsnorkack]

Guangxi

Can you explain the division of Guangxi between South and West?

Considering Nanning is an example of South - but Wuzhou and many others are seen in West?

 

[big-dog]

^^ good finding. Guangxi shoule be in the South instead of West. Fixed.

 

[Rekarte]

I agree:yes:

It should be this way:


East
Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang,


North
Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia


South
Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Hainan


Central
Hubei, Hunan, Henan, Anhui, Jiangxi


Soutwest
Chongqing, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Tibet


Northeast
Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang


Northwest
Shaanxi, Ningxia, Gansu, Qinghai, Xinjiang

Could you write all the provincional capitals under each region. Lanzhou, Guiyang, Xining, Yinchuan aren't under the WEST section, same with Taiyuan and Hohhot under the NORTH section. Please place them as sticky in their repsective forums.

Soutwest
Chongqing, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Tibet


Northeast
Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang


Northwest
Shaanxi, Ningxia, Gansu, Qinghai, Xinjiang

+1

To promoto big cites is good, but not better to promote provinces instead

West should be divided into Southwest and Northwest, big different two areas.

 

[big-dog]

^^ sure. let's wait for more response on this. Changes have to be submitted to upper level mod so we'd better be careful.

 

[andyvia]

My opinion based both on geography and cultural and linquistic linkages:

East（华东）
Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi


North（华北）
Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong


South（华南）
Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Hainan


Central（中原）
Henan, Shaanxi, Shanxi


Midwest（中西部）
Chongqing, Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan, Guizhou, Yunnan


Northeast（东北）
Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Inner Mongolia


West（西部）
Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai, Tibet, Xinjiang

Currently only tier-I cities are made sticky. Provincional capitals are not always having good development or importance in their area. For tier classification, please check city index thread at,
