Xinlitun, China. (This one may well have come up before in the game: but I’m normally useless with “X” places; have had this town – where I’ve been – in mind in recent days.) ---

> [@The\_Stainless\_Steel\_Rat](#): > > \*Sangahyando–your X above (#3483) was a new one; congrats, it’s getting harder to find a unique addition to the game using X Xinlitun – fairly small place, some 60 miles west of Shenyang – I’d only heard of it, because of having been through it by train. The “X-factor” is indeed becoming a problem. I noticed recently, that Azerbaijan seems to have a fair number of towns beginning with X; but that source might well already have been picked clean !
