Geographical Center of Asian Continent Chinese: 亚洲大陆地理中心 is the name of a monument indicating the supposed geographical center of the Asian continent. It is located about 20 km south-west of Ürümqi, Xinjiang, People`s Republic of China. The measurement on which it is based dates to 1992. It was based on calculating the geographical center of 49 Asian countries including the island states of Cyprus and Japan, and counting Palestine and Sikkim as separate countries, placing the geographical center of these countries at 43°40′52″N 87°19′52″E. Before the completion of the monument, the site was marked by a wooden pole stating `Geographic Center of Asia` 亚洲地理中心. A village that happened to be located at the site where the monument was to be built was relocated, and the new village is now known as the `Heart of Asia` 亚心. The site has a tower labelled `Center of Asia` which represents 48 countries of Asia. The monument was completed in the late 1990s.
