Die Aktivitäten in diesem Reiseziel 3 Aktivitäten in 5 Tage 2/23 Temple of Heaven Ticket Tag 2 General admission and city pass 18/05/2020 The Temple of Heaven was the place where emperors of the Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644) and Qing Dynasty (1644 - 1911) held their Heaven Worship Ceremonies. It is the largest and most representative existing masterpiece among China's ancient sacrificial buildings. First built in 1420, the Temple of Heaven is enclosed by a long wall. The northern part within the wall is semicircular symbolizing the Heavens and the southern part is square symbolizing the Earth. The northern part is higher than the southern part. This design shows that the Heaven is high and the Earth is low and the design reflected an ancient Chinese thought of 'the Heaven is round and the Earth is square'. With this combo ticket you can access the Temple of Heaven’s Park and the 3 top attractions inside it: The Circular Mound Altar, the Imperial Vault of Heaven, and the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests. \nRedeem information Voucher type: E-Voucher E-voucher.

It was forbidden to access without a special permission from the emperor; hence its name 'The Forbidden City'. Once you cross Tiananmen Gate, you will access a walled complex covering an area of 1,110,000 square meters. This magnificent architectural complex known in China as the Palace Museum, holds paintings, calligraphy, ceramics, and antiquities of the imperial collections. Since yellow is the symbol of the royal family, it is the dominant color within the walls. Roofs are built with yellow glazed tiles; decorations in the palace are painted yellow; even the bricks on the ground are made yellow by a special process. In 1987, the Forbidden City was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. \nRedeem information Voucher type: No needed Voucherless. You don’t need to bring any voucher (digital or printed)!

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles the How and Why of Urban Preservation: Protecting Historic Neighborhoods in China a Disser
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The How and Why of Urban Preservation: Protecting Historic Neighborhoods in China A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Urban Planning by Jonathan Stanhope Bell 2014 © Copyright by Jonathan Stanhope Bell 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The How and Why of Preservation: Protecting Historic Neighborhoods in China by Jonathan Stanhope Bell Doctor of Philosophy in Urban Planning University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris, Chair China’s urban landscape has changed rapidly since political and economic reforms were first adopted at the end of the 1970s. Redevelopment of historic city centers that characterized this change has been rampant and resulted in the loss of significant historic resources. Despite these losses, substantial historic neighborhoods survive and even thrive with some degree of integrity. This dissertation identifies the multiple social, political, and economic factors that contribute to the protection and preservation of these neighborhoods by examining neighborhoods in the cities of Beijing and Pingyao as case studies. One focus of the study is capturing the perspective of residential communities on the value of their neighborhoods and their capacity and willingness to become involved in preservation decision-making. The findings indicate the presence of a complex interplay of public and private interests overlaid by changing policy and economic limitations that are creating new opportunities for public involvement. Although the Pingyao case study represents a largely intact historic city that is also a World Heritage Site, the local ii focus on tourism has disenfranchised residents in order to focus on the perceived needs of tourists.

  • Representations of Cities in Republican-Era Chinese Literature
    Representations of Cities in Republican-era Chinese Literature Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Hao Zhou, B.A. Graduate Program in East Asian Languages and Literatures The Ohio State University 2010 Thesis Committee: Kirk A. Denton, Advisor Heather Inwood Copyright by Hao Zhou 2010 Abstract The present study serves to explore the relationships between cities and literature by addressing the issues of space, time, and modernity in four works of fiction, Lao She’s Luotuo xiangzi (Camel Xiangzi, aka Rickshaw Boy), Mao Dun’s Ziye (Midnight), Ba Jin’s Han ye (Cold nights), and Zhang Ailing’s Qingcheng zhi lian (Love in a fallen city), and the four cities they depict, namely Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, and Hong Kong, respectively. In this thesis I analyze the depictions of the cities in the four works, and situate them in their historical and geographical contexts to examine the characteristics of each city as represented in the novels. In studying urban space in the literary texts, I try to address issues of the “imaginablity” of cities to question how physical urban space intertwines with the characters’ perception and imagination about the cities and their own psychological activities. These works are about the characters, the plots, or war in the first half of the twentieth century; they are also about cities, the human experience in urban space, and their understanding or reaction about the urban space. The experience of cities in Republican era fiction is a novel one, one associated with a new modern historical consciousness.

  • 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.

Therefore, this study aims to understand the critical factors and influence relationship among factors in urban regeneration projects in the Nanluoguxiang area, where such projects have been carried out for the historical and cultural preservation in Beijing, China. The implications of this study are as follows: First, both factor public space environmental improvement and building restoration and improvement were analyzed as the most important factors. Second, the elements of the public space environmental improvement and the building restoration and improvement were closely related, influenced by policies and plans, guidelines and criteria, investigation and research, and the subsidy support project. Third, despite the fact that the project was promoted with the aim of revitalizing culture, it was analyzed that the influence of cultural elements on other factors was very minimal because of excessive commercialization.

  • Beijing City Walk, Eight Hutongs That Trail Off on Either Side Modern Design (23 NLGX)
    TRAVEL eijing’s hutongs—narrow alleys or side streets—were once a city mainstay. Back in those days, the location of a hutong, formed by the space between the siheyuan (court- Byards of homes), was significant: In the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), they were organized by social rank; the highest- ranking elite lived closest to the Forbidden City. Today, many hutongs have been demolished to make way for wide avenues and modern high-rises. Nevertheless, everything old is new again, and the surviving hutongs in the city’s northeast districts are now home to a hip revival. A leisurely Saturday spent strolling the hutongs between Gulou (the Drum Tower) and Yonghegong (the Lama Temple) offers a good dose of historic Beijing as well as its present-day underground youth culture. 10 A.M. YONGHEGONG Begin your journey at Yonghegong, one of Beijing’s most extraordinary and often-overlooked temples. Take the Beijing subway line 5 or 2 to the Yonghegong station and alight at Exit C. Walk to the Lama Temple at 12 Yonghe- gong Da Jie (admission: 25 yuan or about US$3.65). Don’t miss the 18-meter- high Buddha made of sandalwood; it was a gift from the Dalai Lama to Emperor Qianlong in 1750. 11 A.M. WUDAOYING HUTONG About 100 meters up Yonghegong Da Jie from the temple—on the opposite side of the street—is the entrance to Wudaoying Hutong, which is just begin- ning to get hip with boutiques and eateries. The shop Brand nü sells an array of handmade items, including delicately embroidered shoe insoles traditionally sewn by Chinese mothers for their children, from a women’s artisan coopera- tive in Ningxia (61 Wudaoying Hutong).

  • Paper International Experience China 2017 2 Preface -Heather Starkey and Will Mayo
    Paper International Experience China 2017 2 Preface -Heather Starkey and Will Mayo- On May 15, 2017, 35 juniors and seniors in the Paper Science & Engineering program set out to China on a lifechanging journey called the Paper International Experience – PIE for short. Over the course of 11 days – 14 for some – we visited three paper mills, two forest products universities, a wheat straw pulp mill, a release paper coating facility, a paper machine manufacturer, and a number of cultural epicenters. We anticipated exposure to an entirely different culture and an entirely different paper industry. In some ways, these expectations were met. The Chinese people live by simpler means than the typical American; by con- trast, the Chinese paper industry is in its thriving adolescence, and most mills are equipped with state of the art technology. That said, we were surprised to learn the similarities between our industries and cultures. De- spite its booming growth, the Chinese paper industry has a lot of room for improvement in the sustainability and raw material sectors; perhaps in seventy years, their currently shiny machines will become the old relia- ble behemoths the American industry so adores. By contrast, the Chinese culture is a millennia senior to our own, yet we can all sit around a Lazy Susan and enjoy dumplings from the same basket or engage in a friendly basketball game. Prior to this edition of PIE, students have traveled to Brazil, Chile, Finland, and twice before to China. The pri- mary objective of PIE is to enable students to travel abroad at a greatly reduced cost, while visiting modern manufacturing facilities, broadening cultural horizons, and contemplating how the U.S.
