Changing the names of places wastes money

A LOCAL WRITER HELD a lecture in East China's Anhui province, calling for Huangshan city to change back to its historical name of Huizhou. A former mayor of Huangshan voiced his support. It is better not to change place names too frequently, says a comment on people.com.cn:

Huangshan is not the only place that has changed its name according to a local landmark. There is Wuyishan city in southeast China's Fujian province, and Huashan city in northern China's Shaanxi province.

Actually, when they changed their names, the move was well-received because they helped boost the local tourism industry and promote economic prosperity.
