Does anyone have any maps available for the villages listed below?
- Hoiping, Area 4, Lung Tong, Sui Hou, Chung Bin Fong (Map Location fq 1212) - Taishan, Area 8, Duen Fun Heung, Hoi Yeung Chut Heung, Hoi Yeung Kau
I searched RootsVillage Database and see there are map cordinates for one search, but are there any maps that correspond to the database? I searched Google Maps (with the Chinese characters) but didn't work either.
Thanks!

Looking at the Chinese map, I would say the second one is 2/3 south of Taishan Shi (台山市) where Duanfen 端芬 is shown. There are number of Duanfen facilities, such as high school, hospital, center, etc. Then there is 海陽 Hoi Yang, including a school shown on the map.

I think present name of each village varies slightly from that in village database. The names are pronounced the same but different characters.
The first Chung Bin Fong/Zhongbianfang 中边坊 near Sui Hou/Shuikou 水口 Search "22.4365, 112.7375" in maps.google.com in Map view, location is indicated by the green arrow.
Hoi Yeung/Haiyang 海阳 in Duen Fun / Duanfen 端芬 Search "22.052, 112.766" in maps.google.com in Map view, location is indicated by the green arrow.

Thanks so much! My dad and cousins has been looking for this information for a long time. We had always assumed the village was just a story. No one on my dad's side of the family has been back to Zhongbianfang since leaving China in the early 1920's.
