Talk:Hohhot

message: The transcription Kökeqota switches from front to back vocalic mid word. Since it is two words this is ok I guess, but then shouldnt the Mongolian word be written with a space and an initial Q rather than a medial Q? Tibetologist (talk) 00:02, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Nope. When writing placenames and personal names, it is normal to run two components together, even at the expense of vowel harmony. You can find an instance of the word on the city web site  (sorry, it's only in the animated header.) –Ferronier (talk) 03:45, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

message: I believe the name of city refers both Deep Blue and Eternal. Kokhe also means generous or plain.--Enerelt (talk) 02:56, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Colour blue is also associated with purity as the blue sky (without clouds) was thought to be pure. Gantuya eng (talk) 16:27, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

message: My impression is that the first capital of the Inner Mongolia autonomous region was Wangyemiao/Ulanhot. Zhangjiakou was never(?) part of the IMAR, and this makes me wonder how Hohhot is supposed to have replaced it. It had been the capital of Mengjiang, but whether IMAR is supposed to be a successor of this regime is probably questionable. "Common knowledge" doesn't really seem to help here. And I don't think it's asking too much to provide a reliable source to when Hohhot became capital of the IMAR, when this was decided, what were the other candidates etc. Yaan (talk) 12:04, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If you have access to jstor, then this article (China's Changing Political Geography, by Norton S. Ginsburg, in Geographical Review, Vol. 42, No. 1 (Jan., 1952), p. 110) states that Inner Mongolia is indeed ruled from Zhangjiakou, even though Zhangjiakou is in Chahar province. But I am nt sure if this one source is good enough. Yaan (talk) 14:02, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: What I've read is that Zhangjiakou was briefly the administrative seat some time between 1947 to 1952. But since 1952 Hohhot has been undoubtedly the capital. Many in the city credit this to then IMAR-Chairman Ulanhu. Colipon+(T) 03:03, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, that's what I understood, too, except not so sure about 1947 or some sligtly later date. But do you happen to have a(nother) reliable source? Yaan (talk) 08:17, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

text: I'll try to look that up. Yeah we should write something about the 60th anniversary celebrations. The city was totally revamped. Colipon+(T) 10:51, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Other buildings built during this period include the Ulan Theatre, much of the Ruyihe area, as well as the large Stadium in the north near the Xincheng Gov building. When you're talking about the Great Mosque do you mean Da Zhao? Colipon+(T) 16:20, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Da Zhao is a Buddhist temple, no?  By mosque I meant 清真寺 Qingzhen Si. –Ferronier (talk) 08:19, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Flights from Hohhot to Ulaanbaatar have been stopped since the provider, Aero Mongolia, had its license suspended last fall.  Here is a news video (Mongolian with English subtitles) covering the suspension. –Ferronier (talk) 08:20, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: They apparently have their license back, and their website gives a plan of two flights per week, Monday and Thursday. And at least their main page seems to have been updated last week (they have a new ticket office after the original one was burnt down on Tuesday). Does Hohhot's airport have a website that could corrobate or disprove that flight plan? Yaan (talk) 14:03, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hohhot's airport doesn't have a website.  I've checked repeatedly with the Mongolian consulate and other Outer Mongolians in Hohhot, and they continue to say that, despite promises by the airline, service has not yet resumed.  -Ferronier (talk) 11:47, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This just in: broadcast news in Ulaanbaatar has it that UB-Hohhot flights will be resuming this week.  If it's gotten that public it might actually be true, so this will probably soon be a moot point. Will post confirmation when found. -Ferronier (talk) 11:06, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

message: The lack of citations in this article has been bothering me for some time, especially when it comes to straightforward things like statistics and historical names and dates that could be easily looked up.  In fact I bet people did look them up before adding them. Please share your sources with the rest of us!
The fact tags I've just put in are in no way meant to challenge the veracity of the information.  They are more of a to-do list for myself and anyone else interested in tracking down sources. –Ferronier (talk) 07:38, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Is the literal color of the sky not a metallic hue?  Be that the case, would it not be a color of the west.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.203.140.134 (talk) 03:40, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: There are different stories about the blue, some say it's the sky because Hohhot often has blue skies but others say that it is from the colour of the bricks.  The old town is certainly built from blue-grey bricks and it is said that this is the original colour of all  of Hohhot's buildings, for what that's worth.  Likewise, the sky is certainly blue a lot but then most skies were blue before factories were built everywhere so that's also likely to be a modern construction.  The actual history of Hohhot is as a market place so that's not very useful. 103.42.214.93 (talk) 01:21, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

message: The article begibs "Hohhot (.....), abbreviated Hushi....". However am I right that Hushi is not an abbreviation of Hohhot? Rather it is an abbreviation of the Chinese name 呼和浩特; pinyin: Hūhéhàotè)? If so, it would be better to put the abbreviation after the Chinese name, and inside the brackets. The current drafting suggests the abbreviation is of Hohhot. Schnackal (talk) 19:36, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
