Qilixia

Qilixia is a township in Zhen'an County, part of the prefecture-level city of Shangluo in Shaanxi Province, China. It lies at about 33 degrees 19 minutes north and 109 degrees 30 minutes east. English Wikipedia describes it as a town on the West Qinling gold belt, the band of gold-bearing rock along the western end of the Qinling range, which ties the locality to the region's mining geology. GeoNames lists it as a populated place and records the older Wade-Giles romanization Ch'i-li-hsia beside the modern pinyin spelling. The sources read give no population, area or founding date for the township, so this entry records its place in the administrative hierarchy, its location and its geological setting only.
