Where is Huang Yuan in Ordinary World now?

The wasteland referred to in Ordinary World is now Yan 'an City, Shaanxi Province. About Huangyuan, the book says: Yanhe and Nanchuan meet in the center, and Baota shan, Liangqingshan and Fenghuang Mountain set each other off, and Dongguan and Nanguan have a panoramic view.

At the same time, the book also mentions that Huangyuan is an old revolutionary base area, and there is the so-called Huangyuan Teachers College, which is Tian Xiaoxia's alma mater. Yan 'an has Yan 'an Teachers College, which is Lu Yao's alma mater. The description of Huangyuan customs and the description of mineral products in the book are similar to Yan 'an. Therefore, the Huangyuan of the Loess Plateau should be Yan 'an.
