Fuyang, A Brief Story

I have posted blog describing our Save the Children China Project at Fuyang. However, I have not posted any blog on Fuyang itself. As such, this blog will be a little bit story about Fuyang.

Fuyang (Chinese: 阜阳; Pinyin: Fuyáng) is a prefecture-level city in northwestern Anhui province. It borders Bozhou to the northeast, Huainan to the southeast, Lu'an to the south, and the province of Henan on all other sides.



The prefecture-level city of Fuyang administers 8 county-level divisions, including 3 districts, 1 county-level city and 4 counties:
- Yingzhou District (颍州区)
- Yingdong District (颍东区)
- Yingquan District (颍泉区)
- Jieshou City (界首市)
- Tiahe County (太和县)
- Linquan County (临泉县)
- Funan County (阜南县)
- Yingshang County (颍上县)

Fuyang Prefecture in Northern Anhui Province, bordering Henan, has a population of around 9 million people; an estimated 2 million have migrated out.

The situation in Fuyang is similar with other Indonesia middle size city such as Bogor, Tangerang, etc but the population in the city is the same size as the most populated city in Indonesia. There are several parks in Fuyang. In one of the park, on weekend, there is a dance festival. In addition, there is a lake so-called Si Hu. The city also has supermarkets and a square. Many government officials live in flats.
