[hide]Name change[edit]
In 2008, 4751 people[1] participated in a public opinion survey in favour of restoring the historical name (Mangshi), with 96.96% supporting a name change to Mangshi.[1] In 2010, the name of the county-level city was formally changed, becoming the very first single-character (excluding the word for city, "市") city in mainland China. The character "市"(shi) in Chinese means "city", "shi" is not only part of proper noun, also a word to describe administrative division. This is different as Jinshi City(津市市) in Hunan Province.
Transport[edit]
Sports[edit]
Association football is the most popular sport in Mangshi. Table tennis and basketball are also popular. The 15,000-capacity Dehong Stadium is the largest sports venue by capacity in the city.
