The Chinese Central Government has divided China into different regions, which consists of : 23 Provinces 5 Autonomous Regions 4 Municipalities 1 Special Administrative Region
As of Year 1999, there are _two_ Special Adminstrative Regions: Hong Kong SAR, China Macau SAR, China
The autonomous regions with their capitals are: 45 Guangxi Zhuang - Nanning 15 Nei Monggol (Inner Mongolia) - Hohhot 64 Ningxia Hui - Yinchuan 54 Xizang (Tibet) - Lhasa 65 Xinjiang Uigur (or ... Uygur; chinese prefer Uigur) - Urumqi
Not sure about this one. When I searched for Xinjiang, I usually see the spelling "Uygur" being used on official Chinese government websites. Of course, your mileage may vary. :-)
The special administrative region is: 91 Hong Kong
Not sure what the number is for Macau. :-) Cheers, Anthony -- Anthony Fok Tung-Ling ThizLinux Laboratory <anthony@thizlinux.com> http://www.thizlinux.com/ Debian Chinese Project <foka@debian.org> http://www.debian.org/intl/zh/ Come visit Our Lady of Victory Camp! http://www.olvc.ab.ca/
