Where exactly is it?

Santiago's antipode sits at 33.45°N, 109.33°E, in the northern hemisphere, east of Greenwich. That places it in or near the Indian Ocean.

It lies roughly 20,015 km from Santiago — about as far apart as two points on Earth can possibly be. And the relationship is symmetric: the antipode of that spot is, of course, right back here in Santiago.

What's actually there?

Santiago's antipode is a rare one: it actually lands on solid ground, about 9 km from Tiechang, a town in China. Most cities don't get that lucky — antipodal land pairs are uncommon since water covers about 71% of the globe.
