Description:
A place name directory for Jiulong (Tib. brgyad zil) county, in Ganzi prefecture, Sichuan province, China. The book begins with a "Brief Account of Jiulong County," a narrative summary of the County's historical development, natural conditions, economic overview, culture/education/health. There is a large section on "Administrative Divisions and Natural Villages." This section goes through each district (with a narrative summary) and then each district's townships (with a narrative summary) one by one. After each township summary there is a list of names (in Chinese only) for the township, its villages, and its natural villages. Finally, there are several sections of narrative summary and listings of features, such as natural geography (mountains, rivers, etc.), infrastructure (roads, hydroelectric facilities, etc.), educational institutions, and so forth. At the back is an index of place names. (Michael Ryan 2006-04-03, revised by Ben Deitle 2009-06-29)
