Talk:Changsha

Initial comment
62.252.0.9 changed the name of the mayor from Tan Zhongchi to Nirav Desai. Since the same IP subsequently made a nonsense change to a number, and didn't attribute or summarize the name change, I reverted. Someone with the ability to check should verify the mayor's name.

Are you guys sure about the weather of Changsha in Winter? It can rain 3 weeks in a row, mostly drizzling, but rarely stop. And since the humidity is so high, the chilliness is more penetrating than in many colder but drier northern cities. It's typical in a sullen Winter afternoon, people crouch in front of a stove which is usually the center piece of the room, warming their hands on the chimney, chatting and drinking hot tea poured off a steaming pot, trying to get the end of the day. A heating system is ridiculed by people since every one knows "Changsha is a southern city". But as a matter of fact, many people from north of china, like Shen-yang, develope frostbites after they came to Changsha where they feel it's much colder. I was raised in Changsha and left it after graduation from medical school. My wife still has an apartment there but I am always shy on the idea of retiring in Changsha, even with the cheaper living standard and much more friendly people than found in New York, because of the weather. The weather is just nasty, let alone air pollution. Oh my! --StillOcean 13 August 2006

The weather in Changsha can be much hotter than you say in July. I am there now, it's July, and we have had 37 degrees on one day, 35 on another. A quick glance at the BBC weather forecast for Changsha this month will show this.

the mao zedong museum`s photo actually is the "city museum of changsha" may be i am think a woring name,but there are no one Mao zedong museum in the city,just have one mao zedong literature yard which used to research of mao zedong`s literature works. this museum not olny have this building, it include Mao zedong`s old house. and one big maozedong statuary made of marble, people can visit this house.--212.120.84.185 22:47, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Pollution
Anyone who has been to Changsha can testify to the serious pollution problem. Even on days when the sun in visible it is only some orange glowing ball behind smog. You can taste the pollution when you breath. It is truly horrible. Don't expect a blue sky ever. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.121.98.15 (talk) 18:47, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Sister cities
Does a place called "Puluolua" exist anywhere in the world? I can't find any evidence of it, and it's certainly not a city or even a very minor town in New Zealand. 122.57.98.80 (talk) 00:26, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Be bold!, if you think Puluolua doesn't exist after some research then remove it by all means. It doesn't have source too. So do it! --LLTimes (talk) 02:02, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Subway
Changsha doesn't have one. They're building one, but it doesn't exist yet. So, I'm not quite sure what the article is talking about in that sense. Browncoat101 (talk) 05:57, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Etymology of Name
The article says that the origins of the name of the card are lost in antiquity, but the locals and a number of websites seem quite secure in stating that the name, literally "long sand" (according to the characters), refers to the island in the river. No reference is provided for this statement, so I propose that it be removed. --Muchado (talk) 13:50, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Taiping siege(s)?
Quote 1: “During the Taiping Rebellion, the city was besieged by the rebels (1854) but never fell;”

Quote 2: “In 1852 Taiping forces laid a siege on Changsha through 3 months, but they gave up the offensive thereafter and moved on toward Wuhan.”

Please clarify: if one siege, which year? or two sieges? --Zenwort 11:47, 13 January 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zenwort (talk • contribs)

Lucky Knot Bridge
Newly opened (end of 2016), this bridge is unique enough to be mentioned in the article on Changsha. Below links to the architect page, with many photos. Despite it being self-promoting of their business, it is almost enough to base the section on this alone. http://www.nextarchitects.com/en/projects/lucky_knot_dragon_king_kong_bridge GeeBee60 (talk) 18:22, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
