- 2014, Benjamin Lillebrohus,Chinese Rural-Urban Difference in Opportunity of Obtaining Higher Education[5],University of Lund, archived fromthe original on17 August 2017, page 9:- A good illustration of this difference can be found by pulling statistics from a single prefecture level city and compare the gross domestic production per capita for two of the prefecture’s counties; in the publication 2010 Línfén tǒngjì niánjiàn (2010 临汾统计年鉴) the GDP per capita in Yonghe County is 5,632 RMB in 2009 while the GDP per capita inGu County amounts to 47,933 RMB the same year. The two counties are only 188km apart, and yet the citizens underGu County’s administration enjoy an income approximately 8.5 times higher than those under Yonghe County’s. One of the reasons forGu County’s relative well developed economy may be its location approximately 51km from Linfen City, while the distance from Linfen City to Yonghe County roughly amounts to 165 km.
