Hello I am Rohan from Jamnagar. As a citizen of Jamnagar i love to tell share something about Jamnagar. I found no other city in competition of Jamnagar any where in the world.(though it could be too much but that's my opinion!) Specially the Lake Lakhota gives feeling of Heavenly atmosphere. Very few city would be such peacefull as Jamnagar. Though many roads are not good in codition. I take it positive and hope that they also will be developed well by local authorities. The asiatic solarium, bala hunuman tample, "Gaurav Path", Ranjit Sagar, Aradhana Dham are very good place to visit. City has great future and I love My city. thank u for reading it.
Hi I am from UK and have been to your city twice. Good place Good people. All the best!Johnhardcastle 08:45, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

There are few other places near by the city to visit.., Ranjit Sagar, Sasoi dam, Sapda Ganesh Temple, Bholeshvar Mahadev, Narara & pirotan Islands, Kotada bavisi - Jamjodhpur, Barda Hills & Killeshvar. The famous dwarkadhish temple is also at few hours distant form city.
Jamnagar has all the characteristic which a good city should have: It has all means of transport facility available: Railway transport which is connected to other mega cities like Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Delhi and the near by cities Rajkot, porbandar, okha, surendranagar.

Although city has many infrastructure and administrative weakness. But all the citizens, administration and political leader have jolted themselve to change scenario.

With the rise of 1st Sun of 21st century, city has joined the race for moving towards mega city - NO - moving towords becoming a Dream City - a shining city - a proud city! and since than has not turned back.
As a citizen of Jamnagar I must thank city for providing a memorable past, a joyfull and vibrant present and dream future.

[edit] Improvement needed
This article needs lots of improvements. I am not from Jamnagar so cannot add anything of importance but someone familiar should. What is "Hindi Cinema is the perfect entertainment among local people."? So what is imperfect entertaiment? Playing Cricket?
The whole history section is very confusing. Some maps will also help.
