Hello, Iyoo! Welcome to Wikivoyage.

To help get you started contributing, we've created a tips for new contributors page, full of helpful links about policies and guidelines and style, as well as some important information on copyleft and basic stuff like how to edit a page. If you need help, check out Help, or post a message in the travellers' pub. If you are familiar with Wikipedia, take a look over some of the differences here.--ϒpsilon (talk) 16:19, 31 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

Thanks a lot for your contributions so far! I enjoyed a trip to Changchun in 2004. I was struck by the evergreen trees and the cool weather at night in July (or was it June?), all of which reminded me of Canada. Are there still a lot of pine trees around town there? But most of all, I enjoyed the friendly people. There were some Japanese visitors but very few Western tourists there, and I found people genuinely interested to have conversations, which my brother and I had with them in a mixture of our broken Mandarin, their few words of English and a dictionary. Even the vendors were friendly and not pushy like in Shanghai and Beijing. Is that still true today? Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:15, 7 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hello, and thanks for coming back and making more helpful edits!

Just a word about Wikivoyage policy on links to Wikipedia: There's only one link to Wikipedia in each article. In Shenzhen, that's the link to w:Shenzhen at the end of the article that produces a link in the sidebar on the left side of the page. Otherwise, links are only to primary sources, as per Wikivoyage:External links policy. Many Wikivoyagers wish more links to Wikipedia were permitted, but several rounds of argument produced no consensus to change the policy, so it remains.

All the best,
