About:Privacy & Security

My grandfather was from Nam Wah (uah). Our surname is Ong (王). He told us that we are Yong Kut Ong, I presume that is the village.
I would like to visit this place.
Can you tell me where this place is and how do I get there from the nearest city/town.
Thank You

So sorry, Mr.Ong. As the location name you provided is not pronounced according to Chinese mandarin, but the dialect of a certain place. If I guess right, Nam Wah should be Nanhua County in Yunnan Province. Your surname is 王.Actually, its correct pinyin is 'wang'. Can you make sure whether you are from Yunnan, the southwest of China?
