This email seems to be a reply to a previously send email, but I didn't receive the original mail from Anthony Fok through the tz-list. The original discussion thread started Sept. 24 2001.
I'll try to see if I can come up with a more complete list of provinces, but I don't want the comments field to be so large that 'tzselect' produces confusing output.
Listed below is a complete list of the current administrative regions of China. The Chinese Central Government has divided China into different regions, which consists of : 23 Provinces 5 Autonomous Regions 4 Municipalities 1 Special Administrative Region The provinces with their capitals are: Anhui - Hefei Fujian - Fuzhou Gansu - Lanzhou Guangdong - Guangzhou Guizhou - Guiyang Hainan - Haikou Hebei - Shijiazhuang Heilongjiang - Harbin Henan - Zhengzhou Hubei - Wuhan Hunan - Changsha Jiangsu - Nanjing Jiangxi - Nanchang Jilin - Changchun Liaoning - Shenyang Qinghai - Xining Shaanxi - Xian Shandong - Jinan Shanxi - Taiyuan Sichuan - Chengdu Taiwan - Taipei (!) Yunnan - Kunming Zhejiang - Hangzhou The autonomous regions with their capitals are: Guangxi Zhuang - Nanning Nei Monggol (Inner Mongolia) - Hohhot Ningxia Hui - Yinchuan Xizang (Tibet) - Lhasa Xinjiang Uigur (or ... Uygur; chinese prefer Uigur) - Urumqi The 4 municipalities are: Beijing Chongqing Shanghai Tianjin The special administrative region is: Hong Kong Source: Tiglion Consultancy Company Limited http://www.travel.com.hk/china/index.htm (This source seems to be in error in listing Ningxia both as province as well as autonomous region; the latter is true). See also: http://www.library.uu.nl/wesp/populstat/Asia/chinap.htm A compilation of many sources. Probably more authoritative resources can be found, but above list seems correct to me.
