WHERE IS EAGLES WINGS?
We are located in far North Henan Province, central China.
This is not at all a tourist area: in a population of roughly 4.5 million people, there area only a handful of foreigners. Very few people speak English, but the people are very friendly.
The economy here is primarily agricultural and many people live in their traditional villages. While the city seems big by western standards, it is small for a Chinese city and fairly poor.
This is REAL China ... Henan has a huge population, most of which are peasants. It has much poverty.
