  • Shanghai, China Overview Introduction
    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.

Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The purpose of the paper is to study the influence of WeChat official accounts of scenic spots under the background of smart tourism, so that we can help scenic spots know the existing problems in marketing and improve their online marketing methods. The extant kinds of literature rarely involve the influence of touristic WeChat accounts. Therefore, this paper chose 24 5A smart scenic spots’ WeChat official accounts and made a comparative study of them to analyze the influence. We collected the data on 24 5A smart scenic spots in Jiangsu province and evaluated and ranked their influence based on factor analysis. It is found that WeChat official accounts of 24 scenic spots display uneven influence and their gap is clear-cut. Keywords: Smart tourism; Factor analysis; WeChat official account; 5A scenic spots account has become an important platform for universities to publicize and cultivate talents by studying the influence 1.

    2020 International Conference on Advanced Materials, Electronical and Mechanical Engineering (AMEME 2020) ISBN: 978-1-60595-067-9 Sustainable Improvement of Water Quality in Urban River Network by Rotating Overflow Weir—Case Study of Changzhou City in China Yang Liu1, Chen Xie1,*, Ziwu fan1, Fan Yang1,2, Chang Yang1, and Guoqing Liu1 1Hydraulic Engineering Department, Nanjing Hydraulic Research Institute, Nanjing 210029, China 2College of Water Conservancy and Hydropower Engineering, Hohai University, Nanjing 210098, China Abstract. Water diversion is a practical and commonly used approach to improve the water quality of rivers in urban plains in China. This paper researches using rotating overflow weirs as the primary engineering solution to facilitate water diversion and improve the water quality of the river network in urban plain area of Changzhou, including hydrodynamic modeling, field tests, and application. The water diversion scheme, including clean water source, water transfer paths, quantity, and rate, was designed based on its current terrain and river systems. The Yangtze River was selected as a high-quality water source, and its two tributaries were utilized as clean water paths. Four rotating overflow weirs were proposed to create three stages of hydraulic gradient. Clean water can flow naturally and orderly in the researched urban river network without pumps. The required clean headwater level and clean water distributions were modeled hydrodynamically. Four temporary weirs were constructed at design locations to conduct field tests. And the water diversion scheme and its water quality improvement had been verified by field tests. Afterward, four permanent rotating overflow weirs were built. Currently, the monitoring results show the design water transfer scheme reaches expectations.
