Dear Ziqiang,

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something here, but can you look at the 3rd image for example 16 at:

Does this give you the outlines you need? If not, please look at our shapefile examples #7 and 8 that show how to use shapefiles to get more regions
than what NCL provides:

Sometimes these shapefiles contain an array of the names of the area, so you can choose which ones to plot.
