Aigun Treaty was signed in the town of Aigun, China. However, I was unable to find any modern references to this town (Encyclopaedia Britannica 1911 was the most modern source available). Was it renamed? Does it even exist now? -- Ezhiki 14:52, Mar 19, 2004 (UTC)
Benjamin, when dealing with maps of China, you should always be aware that (nearly) the same name may appear twice, the two occurrences being 30km - or more - from each other! (See e.g. Linxia City and Linxia County). In this case, it appears that the label for Aihui District (爱辉区) sits, roughly at downtown Heihe ( here at Google Maps). But if you go some 30 km south, you'll find "Aihuizhen" (i.e., Aihui Town, 爱辉镇), which is probably part of Aihui District. (Districts in China are divided into towns and townships; however, I don't have a map that would show the district's exact borders).
Now, if you zoom on Aihui Town, you'll see that it has all those historical sites - "Aihui Ancient City" (爱辉古城), "Aigun Heroic Defenders' of the Fatherland Garden" (Aihun Weiguo Yingxiong Yuan, 瑷珲卫国英雄园), "Aihui Historical Exhibition Hall" (Aihui Lishi Chenlie Guan, 爱辉历史陈列馆) - so it obviously has to be the historical Aigun (Aihun, 瑷珲 in Chinese). My Chinese is very poor, but this is basically what the official city website says too: "1913年建立瑷珲县(县政府设在今爱辉镇)", i.e. "In 1913, Aihun County was created (the county government was based in today's Aihui Town (Aihuizhen))".
Based on what the government page says about the later history - as I've summarized in Aihui District - there was first the town of Aigun (Aihun, 30 km south of today's Heihe center city); then it became the center of Aihun County (1913). Then the county was renamed Aihui County (1956), and, in 1983, merged into Heihe City and abolished. Then, in 1993, Heihe City became Aihui District (so I guess the modern district goivernment is in downtown Heihe, and not in the historic Aihui Town), and Heihe Prefecture (a higher-level unit, including the former Heihe City and a bunch of other counties) became Heihe City. Does it make for easy reading yet? Vmenkov ( talk) 03:26, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
