[[Image:Yangxin-renmin-huanyin-ni-0022.jpg|thumb|A road sign shows distance to the "Huangshi urban area" ({{lang|zh-hans|黄石市区}}) rather than simply "[[Huangshi]]" ({{lang|zh-hans|黄石}}). This is a useful distinction, because the sign is located ''already'' within Huangshi prefectural level city (immediately upon entering its [[Yangxin County, Hubei|Yangxin County]] from the neighboring [[Xianning]]), but still {{convert|100|km}} from the Huangshi main urban area.]]
