Settlement signs of China (Collection)

Hello Sign Hunters!

This is not an actual blog post of a new place or a site; it is, however, a good 'virtual place' for you to come to find all my photos of Chinese settlement signs. The ones that I have taken photos only of course. So it is a photo collection including welcome signs, city limit signs, boundary signs, places, and anything else that have administrative boundaries and have signs. I call all of these 'settlement signs'. There are, of course (and sadly), many places that do not have actual (physical) signs or they are not actually placed there where they should normally be: for instance, instead of the boundary point, it is put somewhere totally else (for example right in the middle of the city). Some large (sometimes even small ones also) settlements only put signs to the major communication points, such as at motorway entrances, which in many cases is very hard to access on foot.

The good thing is that the majority of the places have signs. Large settlements that are broken up to districts and subdistricts normally have their boundaries precisely marked by a sign. Since we spend a lot of time outdoors and often find new signs, this post will be regularly updated with photos and also information. So, come back often and have a look what is new or keep an eye on our social media newsfeeds for updates.
