Tips

culture
永吉县 (Yongji County) sits in central Jilin Province around the Songhua River, administered by Jilin City. The name is auspicious - (eternal) + (lucky) - typical of Qing-era county-naming, which favored cheerful pairs.
usage
永吉 is also occasionally a personal name (male) in Chinese, Japanese (Nagayoshi / Eikichi) and Korean (Yeonggil) - the characters carry the same 'eternal good fortune' meaning across all three.
