Yes, this Fuzhou was named Fuzhou back in the 50's, but was then changed to Linchuan in 87 due to confusion with Fujian's more famous Fuzhou. The people here still call in Fuzhou though, even though on half of the maps it's calld Linchuan, and the other half Fuzhou. There's about 1,000,000 people that live in Fuzhou.

@ANDERTHALRADIO dunno, but i have met a group of American teenagers that could barley speak Chinese and with no Chinese friend wander around the streets, they looked like they were having fun.

@WinkyLau There are two Fuzhous, in two different provinces. The Fuzhou in Jiangxi is much smaller compared to the other Fuzhou and much less well-known.

Fuzhou has exactly changed a lot, maybe more than this video, :)

Totally agree on what you said. I was born in Fuzhou, and I used to study there for a very long time. I have to say I love there more than any other places else, including New York...

My wife and I lived there in 94-95 when we taught English at East China Geological Institute (I believe they have since changed the name). I cannot believe how built up it is compared to when we lived there. Half the stuff in your video wasn't there, there were only a tiny fraction of the cars you saw and there were chickens, ducks, water buffalo, etc all over the place.

You must have got pretty strange looks here... That is half the experience when visiting somewhere like Fuzhou Jiangxi. It would have been great to get some closeups of those. Although, I go here about twice per year and only managed to get one great shot of a guys cigarette falling out of his mouth when he saw me.
