Hunan, China City & Prefecture Boundaries

Fourteen cities and prefectures, 12th of 27 by count, above a 122-unit county layer keyed to GB/T 2260 throughout.

Hunan Province at city level: 14 units, with the rest of the country drawn faintly behind them. Same fields and formats as the national file, so it drops into an existing build without a schema change.
