Ankang

The Shensi Provincial Government has approved the plan of its Provincial Department of Reconstruction for the building of a highway to connect Sian city with Tsoshui, Chen-an and Ankang, in southeastern Shensi and another road from Shang-hsien past Ankang to link up with the Sian-Chingtsukwan and Hanyin-Paiho Highways. Survey work is to be started soon.

The Han Shui valley in the extreme south, with the subregional towns of Hanchung and Ankang, and the entire northern section of Shensi remain without rail transportation.

Hornet attacks have been reported elsewhere in China as well. Last month, a swarm attacked a primary school in the Guangxi Autonomous Region in southern China, injuring 30 people, including 23 children. But the most serious attacks, according to the state-run news media, have taken place in rural areas near Ankang City, in the southeastern part of Shaanxi Province.
