Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 GUANGZHOU A city with great culture alongside gourmet food Location of Guangzhou As a city of over 2,200 years old, Guangzhou is one of the first national historical and cultural cities in China, the starting point of China’s ancient Maritime Silk Road, and the birthplace and prosperity of Lingnan culture. Today, it is not only a merchant capital but also known as the “capital of gastronomy”. Guangzhou is one of the most economically developed regions in China and has a wealth of tourist resources that make it a popular destination. Apart from shopping and food-hunting, one can also get to know Guangzhou’s customs and architecture that demonstrate the fusion of Chinese and Western cultures. What’s hot Xiaozhoucun Village Built in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties, Xiaozhoucun village still retains the characteristics and lifestyle of the Lingnan water town that make it a summer sanctuary. This thousand-year-old village is like a folklore museum.The most distinctive buildings in the village are the well-ventilated and sturdy oyster shell houses which are 500 to 600 years old. These oyster shell houses are made of local oyster shells, two by two, side by side, and piled up with yellow clay. It’s a pity that there are only three oyster shell houses remain in the area as times change. Xiaozhoucun Village, Haizhu District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, China (Opposite Yingzhou Ecological Park) Take Guangzhou Metro Line 8 and get off at Chigang Station, then take a bus at Chigang Bus Station from Exit C1 to Xiaozhou Terminus. All day Free, 10RMB administration fee will be charged if you drive in Chen Clan Ancestral Hall Ancestral halls are important places in Chinese cultural heritage, where families can trace their roots, pass on their ancestral traditions and teach their descendants. The Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, originally known as the Chen Clan Academy, was a joint venture between the Chen clans from various counties in Guangdong during the Qing Dynasty, and is therefore a common ancestral hall for all the people of Guangdong with the surname Chen. It is also the largest, best- preserved and most beautifully decorated Chinese Qing Dynasty ancestral hall building in Guangdong. 34 Enlongli, Zhongshan 7 Road, Lizhiwan District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, China Take Guangzhou Metro Line 1 and get off at Chenjiaci Station.

Converted from the Xiguan Mansion, the Liwan Museum is located in Lijiwan Park and is a district-level museum focusing on the collection, display and study of the history, culture and folklore of the Liwan District of Guangzhou. The museum displays the “five treasures” of Xiguan, including wood carving, jade carving, tooth carving, Cantonese porcelain and Cantonese embroidery, while the building recreates the typical pattern of a traditional Xiguan Mansion and the living conditions and cultural landscape of Xiguan families. 84 Fengyuan North Street, Longjin West Road, Liwan District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, China Take Guangzhou Metro Line 1 and get off at Changshoulu Station, then walk about 831 metres from Exit E. +86 20 8193 9917 8:30am-5:30pm, closed on Monday except public holidays 5RMB Yongqing Fang Yongqingfang is located on Enning Road which is known as the most beautiful arcaded street in Guangzhou. This former Xiguan old district was refurbished as Guangzhou’s core historical style district and becomes a new historical and cultural calling card with both Xiguan charm and modern commercial art today. Surrounded by historical and cultural buildings such as the Cantonese Opera Art Museum and Cantonese Opera Academy, the street is also home to Bruce Lee’s ancestral home and a movable type printing experience gallery. One can see the element of Guangzhou’s culture from Shamian Island to Yong Qing Fang. 9 Enning Road, Liwan District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, China Take Guangzhou Metro Line 1 or 6 and get off at Huangsha Station, then walk about 724 metres from Exit B. All day Fees vary by attractions in the scenic area Chaoxu - C.PARTY The “Chaoxu - C.PARTY” market has been in operation since August 8 last year, with a total area of about 6,000 square metres, covering intangible cultural heritage, cultural creativity, Guangfu cuisine and art bazaar, visitors can experience a one-stop Guangfu tourism here. The market features a variety of activities such as art and creative market, Guangfu snack market and themed carnival. Trendy elements such as the “Electric Wave Art and Creative Camp” and the “Sound Museum” can also be found here.

It was an important ferry port for domestic and foreign trade during the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and became a British-French concession after the Opium War. The European-style buildings such as Our Lady of Lourdes Church and Shamian Christian Church on the island are a microcosm of China’s modern history and the history of the concessions, which make it a unique open-air architectural “museum”. 53-54 Shamian North Street, Liwan District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, China Take Guangzhou Metro Line 1 and get off at Huangsha Station, Shamian Island is just opposite the flyover at Exit D, or take Line 6 and get off at Huangsha Station (Exit F). All day Free What to eat Guangzhou Cuisine Originated in Guangzhou, Guangzhou cuisine is representative of Cantonese cuisine, which is light, tender and original in taste. Chinese food in Malaysia is partly influenced by Cantonese cuisine, so it is usual to see some familiar or similar dishes in Guangzhou. In addition to “Baiqieji” (White Cut Chicken), the white boiled shrimp and Baby Chinese Cabbage in soup are also common dishes. Shrimp Wonton Noodle Soup As one of the “Top 10 Famous Noodles in China”, Cantonese-style wonton noodles were introduced to the region from Hunan in the Qing Dynasty and have since spread around the world. The most authentic taste can be found in the birthplace of Cantonese-style wonton noodles, which is also loved by the locals. Some halal restaurants in Guangzhou selling halal Shrimp Wonton Noodle Soup is worth trying. Cantonese-style Steamed Rice Noodle Roll Cantonese-style Steamed Rice Noodle Roll is similar to Hong Kong- style Chee Cheong Fun that commonly found in Malaysia. The snack was popular in Guangzhou as early as the end of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, it was available in savoury and sweet flavours. Now halal Cantonese-style Steamed Rice Noodle Roll is available in Guangzhou, with a choice of fillings such as barbecue mutton in honey sauce, Angus beef, etc. Cantonese-style Morning Tea Like Hong Kong people, it is a tradition for Guangzhou people to go for tea in the morning. As a Lingnan folk food custom, having morning tea allows locals to make a pot of tea with a few pieces of dim sum and sit around a table with family and friends to update one another on life events. The style of Cantonese dim sum is similar to that of Malaysia but more traditional in making process and flavour.

    © 2013 Yi-ling Lin CULTURAL ENGAGEMENT IN MISSIONARY CHINA: AMERICAN MISSIONARY NOVELS 1880-1930 BY YI-LING LIN DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2013 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral committee: Professor Waïl S. Hassan, Chair Professor Emeritus Leon Chai, Director of Research Professor Emeritus Michael Palencia-Roth Associate Professor Robert Tierney Associate Professor Gar y G. Xu Associate Professor Rania Huntington, University of Wisconsin at Madison Abstract From a comparative standpoint, the American Protestant missionary enterprise in China was built on a paradox in cross-cultural encounters. In order to convert the Chinese—whose religion they rejected—American missionaries adopted strategies of assimilation (e.g. learning Chinese and associating with the Chinese) to facilitate their work. My dissertation explores how American Protestant missionaries negotiated the rejection-assimilation paradox involved in their missionary work and forged a cultural identification with China in their English novels set in China between the late Qing and 1930. I argue that the missionaries’ novelistic expression of that identification was influenced by many factors: their targeted audience, their motives, their work, and their perceptions of the missionary enterprise, cultural difference, and their own missionary identity. Hence, missionary novels may not necessarily be about conversion, the missionaries’ primary objective but one that suggests their resistance to Chinese culture, or at least its religion. Instead, the missionary novels I study culminate in a non-conversion theme that problematizes the possibility of cultural assimilation and identification over ineradicable racial and cultural differences.

This research is an attempt to unfold the current situation of women’s development within such context by studying the case of Guangdong -- the province as forerunner of China’s economic reform and opening-up -- drawing on current primary resources. First, this study reveals mixed results for women’s development in Guangdong: achievements have been made in education, employment and political participation in terms of “rates” and “numbers,” and small “breakthroughs” have taken place in legislation and women’s awareness of their equal rights and interests; however, limitations and challenges, like disparities between different women groups in addition to gender disparity, continue to exist.

  • Shangxiajiu Shopping Street
    Shangxiajiu Shopping Street [History of Xiguan]— [The Xiguan Shopping Arcades]— [Delicious Food of Guangzhou and Xiguan]—[Features of Xiguan] [History of Xiguan] The Shangxiajiu Shopping Street is located in the Liwan District, one of the four downtown districts of Guangzhou. For the last hundreds of years, the district has always been the busiest section of the town. However, until the 7th century during the Tang Dynasty (618 -907 AD), this place had been but a stretch of marshland with crisscrossing ditches and brooks on the north bank of the Pearl River. In 526 AD, when the Indian prince Dharma sailed east across the Indian Ocean and arrived at Guangzhou to propagate Chan Buddhism, here was the very place where he first went ashore. This Indian prince set up a hut on the bank of the river to preach Buddhist doctrine, which was gradually extended into the present-day Hualin Temple. Now the place around the temple is still called Xi Lai Chu Di, meaning” The First Landing Field when coming from the West”. Prior to the Qing Dynasty, the Liwan District lay outside the west gate of the city walls, and so the area is commonly known as Xiguan, meaning “Western Outskirts “in English. During the Ming Dynasty between the 14th and 16th centuries, Guangzhou became China’s only trading port that was opened to foreign countries and, down to the Qing Dynasty several hundred years ago, many businessmen made great fortune from trades. These millionaires were fed up with the bustle of the heavily inhabited city center and had their houses built in this area one after another, so the district gradually developed into a new residential and business quarter.

  • A Survey on Foreign Tourists' English Translation of Guangdong Tourism Images
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, October 2019, Vol. 9, No. 10, 1056-1060 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2019.10.007 D DAVID PUBLISHING A Survey on Foreign Tourists’ English Translation of Guangdong Tourism Images CHEN Ying-xi South China Business College Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, Guangzhou, China Metaphor, constituting culture as well as inheriting one, is a way that human beings perceive the world. The study of cognitive metaphor theory in translation illustrates the process how the people construct psychological images from one culture to another, from one language to another. A survey on Chinese to English translation has been conducted among foreigners to see their intuitive understandings of some Guangdong tourism images. The results found out three different familiarity levels of these tourism images and the English translations from the viewpoint of the foreigners. Translation can be done without understanding the actual meanings, and understanding can occur without being able to translate. Keyword: foreign tourists, Guangdong tourism images, metaphor, translation Introduction In trans-cultural communication, understanding each other refers to understanding different cultures and their experiences. It is important to realize and respect the differences among backgrounds, cultures, values, and so on. We live in a world of metaphor. Metaphorical imagination is a crucial skill when creating tacit agreements and communicating non-shared experiences (Lakoff & Johnson, 2015, p. 202). Metaphor is a linguistic phenomenon, but more importantly, a thinking mode. When doing translations from one culture to another, the factor of cognition should be considered (Chen, 2019, pp. 26-27, 35). Cognitive Metaphor and Translation Metaphor translation converts the literal meanings from one language to another.
