Hi All, I am trying to obtain the GPS location of a village for a friend. The village is Hok Tong in the Chiu King Heung of Area 6 in Toisan County. We located it through the families villages site. If I could determine the location of the village then I can determine the GPS coordinates as I have for a number of other villages. My friend is going to travel to Toisan in October and would like to know where it is on a map. I am not certain as to the location of Area 6. I am sure Henry or one of the oter administratos may be able to help. I might also travel to China in October and would like to know the location of his village in relation to mine. I have a confirmed GPS location of my own village of Sai Kong Chong through the use of a hand held unit last year. I is amazing to see my village on the google map. The most amazing thing is that the aerial photo of the Sai Kong Chong was taken on the day of my visit to the village in 2006. From the photo I can see what I saw on the ground at the time. Namely, the rice spread out to dry on the concrete apron between the buildings and the pond. geeweilum

Hi Geeweilum,
I checked and looked carefully and was only able to come up with the same map location as tyuti1668 did.
Sorry, I could not be more helpful. When you visit Taishan, I will provide you with the contact information for my Taishan nephew and I believe he can locate the Hok Tong village for you.
Henry
