Shanxi

China

Shanxi, a province in northern China, connects to 5764 places across 29 topics through 444 Bunkabop connections, with history, military, sports, and government as the leading themes. It shares many connections with Beijing and Japan, ties shaped in part by the 1937 Japanese invasion, when Shanxi was among the first areas attacked after the Marco Polo Bridge Incident. The Eighth Route Army, commanded by Zhu De, operated across Shanxi during that conflict. The province's Qing-era merchant culture centered on Pingyao, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
