Changsha has been quite famous in China since ancient times. However, Changsha is so vast that many places have always been able to maintain prosperity. Some places have also been able to remain rising stars, but some places have gradually declined.
The wrong place name
There is a place in Changsha that has always been very prosperous before, but now it has become the most congested place in Hexi . Even economic development has been restricted by other places, and the economic level is much lower than Before.
This place is Genwan Town . Many people will subconsciously blurt out "rongwanzhen" when they see this place name. In fact, the correct pronunciation of this place name that has been called incorrectly since ancient times is actually "yingwanzhen".
The past of Qingwan Town
Wan Town has always been a core part of Changsha Hexi. Qingwan Town existed in one of the earliest markets in Changsha. It can be said that the most prosperous place in Changsha Hexi was this small town. Town, and this place was once known as the May Day Square of Hexi region , but now the development of this place has been greatly restricted.
Speaking of Qinwan Town, it is actually a bit sad. First of all, most people don’t call it the right name, that’s all. Even the division of this area is often misunderstood. Maybe because the name contains the word "town", many people think that this is actually a small town.
In fact, it is not the case. Qiwan Town is just a place name, not any administrative area. If divided from the administrative area, it actually belongs to Wangyue Lake Street .
The current Qingwan Town
Although the current Qingwan Town has lost its previous leading position in Changsha, it is still very lively and prosperous, and this area is one of the important transportation hubs in Changsha.
Not to mention that there are more than 30 bus routes, the most commendable thing is that even the subway line 4 and line 2 also cross here. Therefore, it is very convenient to go anywhere from Qingwan Town. If you want to go to Wuyi Square, Juzizhou, Fenglin Sanlu... you can pass through this area. This is why Qiwan Town has gradually become the most traffic-congested place.
The specific location of Qinwan Town is at the foot of Yuelu Mountain, where transportation and commerce are very developed. It is also very close to the university town, and there are many hospitals around it. Remember, it meets the needs of health life and schooling, so this place is particularly livable. However, the current houses in Qiwan Town are very old, and it would be particularly troublesome to demolish them on a large scale. Not to mention that if a move is made in this place, the entire Changsha will be affected.
There are not many old place names left in Changsha. With the changes of time, many old place names have been simplified by the times. However, Qiwan Town is one of the few place names. Although everything in the past has gradually left us. , but today’s plants and trees can also arouse our memories.
The former Fenglin Hotel and Qinwan Bridge are no longer there, but fortunately, although things seem to have changed and people have changed, the reputation of Qinwan Town is still there, which can be considered a kind of comfort!
