Changsha by night



Finally! A pic from Changsha :)

Changsha is a city that's constantly changing, there are always new things to discover and many things look better at night. This is a picture looking down on the main road and the Gold Source Hotel from the giant ferris-wheel across the road. This is an area of town that is continually being developed. Next to the ferris-wheel there is a large public square area in front of the city's stadium. At night the area gets transformed into a large community gathering where hundreds of people come out to dance and there are lots of activities and rides for the kids.

The one thing this photo does do however, is make the traffic on the road look very orderly. Would not like to give you a false impression so take a look at the photo below which is more along the lines of what things look like. Even after a year, the casual approach people take to some pretty crazy traffic still amazes me. You can see a pedestrian crossing in the photo. People are beginning to see these as areas to cross the road but don't think that means the traffic is going to stop or slow down at all.


Changing a tire and possibly fixing some engine trouble in the middle of the road down at busy Dong Tang.
