Paoting

Ting Hsien is one of the outstandingly rich districts of Hopei; Paoting may be better considered as representative of the agrarian condition on the plain of this province. A rural survey of Paoting was carried out by the National Research Institute of Social Sciences, Academia Sinica, in co-operation with the Peiping Institute of Social Research.
