Longjiang

Is this the same as Longjiang in China? See also Longjiang Bridge and Longjiang Dam.ShakyIsles (talk) 22:14, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Chinese article of Shweli is zh:瑞丽江 where 龙川江 and 陇川江 but not 龙江 are mentioned as other names of the river (lǒngchuān and lóngchuān jiāng). The town zh:龙川镇 (lóngchuān zhèn) is located at that river in Yunnan. So I guess the naming here may be a bit inaccurate and mixing chuān and jiāng (both actually meaning river). Longjiang Bridge has no interwiki link to a Chinese article but searching for 龙川江大桥 shows quite a lot of results; unfortunately Longjiang Dam also still has no interwiki link to any Chinese article... --katpatuka (talk) 06:14, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
