But the place is more than just looks and proximity to Macau and Hong Kong. It’s one of China’s five Special Economic Zones and transportation and logistic hubs. It’s where the Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition is held and last year exhibited the Shenzhou 7 orbital module, famous for the first Chinese space walk. What’s more, Zhuhai is a market for U.S. agric ultural products in the retail sector and has links in the American swine sector. Its growth in the retail, restaurant and tourism sectors point to niche opportunities for U.S. agricultural products. This tiny, yet mighty city of 1.4 million is open for business.

  • A Tale of Five Cities: the China Residential Energy Consumption Survey
    A Tale of Five Cities: The China Residential Energy Consumption Survey Debbie Brockett, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory David Fridley, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Jieming Lin, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Jiang Lin, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory ABSTRACT Consumption of electricity in the residential sector in China has risen faster than all other energy forms in China over the last 20 years, driven in part by the enormous increase in household appliance ownership, but few details are known about the characteristics of overall household energy use, particularly in the wake of the dramatic changes in the last two dec- ades. Despite the growing importance of this sector to the evolution of future energy con- sumption patterns, few data exist about the nature and type of urban household energy con- sumption. This paper summarizes the initial results of a first-ever 5-city, 251-household comprehensive survey of Chinese household energy use, taken in the cities of Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Yixing, and Shenyang. Focus in this paper is on analysis of the major electricity consuming products in households, but summaries of the findings on housing characteristics, space heating, air conditioning, hot water supply and use, indoor lighting, cooking, refrigeration, other appliances, house insulation, energy consumption in winter and summer months, energy prices, and household demographic information are also included. The findings support the current policy to emphasize development of minimum efficiency standards for household equipment, as energy consumption from these sources are a signifi- cant portion of the household energy budget. Background of China RECS In 1980, fully 90% of household energy in China derived from the direct burning of coal.

CMORPH data has an accurate estimate of the precipitation features over the PRD. Compared to the surrounding rural areas, the PRD urban areas experience fewer and shorter precipitation events with a lower precipitation frequency (ratio of rainy hours, about 3 days per year less); however, short-duration heavy rain events play a more significant role over the PRD urban areas. Afternoon precipitation is much more pronounced over the PRD urban areas than the surrounding rural areas, which is probably because of the increase in short-duration heavy rain over urban areas. Keywords: CMORPH; Urbanization effects; Pearl River Delta 1. Introduction changes in the weather, local weather, and climate.

    Epson Pearl River Delta Scoping Study Leung Sze-lun, Alan Research Team: Leung Sze-lun, Alan Chung Hoi-yan Tong Xiaoli Published in July 2007 by WWF Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR Supported by Epson Foundation Epson Pearl River Delta Scoping Study ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to particularly acknowledge the generous support by Epson Foundation in funding WWF Hong Kong to conduct this study. I am grateful to all officials from Hong Kong and Guangdong who shared their views on freshwater issues during this study, also researchers, academics, environmentalists and nature lovers. I thank Professor David Dudgeon and Professor Richard Corlett from the Department of Ecology & Biodiversity, The University of Hong Kong for their comments on the drafts of the report. I also thank the Freshwater team from WWF China on their comments on the report. Special thanks should be given to Dr. Tong Xiaoli and his students from the South China Agricultural University and Ms. Chung Hoi-yan for their very hard work on literature collection, data inputs, field work, and conducting interviews for this report. Epson Pearl River Delta Scoping Study EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction Freshwater ecosystems are considered amongst the world’s most endangered ecosystems. The freshwater crisis facing the world today is one of the most serious global environmental challenges to both man and biodiversity. Freshwater issues in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) in Guangdong, China are considered to be a significant challenge to the future development of the region. The objectives of this report are to better understand the complex linkages among the various threats to freshwater biodiversity, and their causes, in order to identify opportunities and strategies for reducing these threats through future conservation actions in the region.

Accordingly, this paper aims to Urbanisation discover and characterise the urbanisation process of Lhasa, which is the first large, high-altitude city in China to Land-use/cover change be urbanised. Until 1995, Lhasa mainly served as a regional capital in China with political and administrative Frontier region functions. Since 2005, the rapid economic development of Lhasa has become a key driver of its urban expansion China Western Development Program due to the presence of market mechanisms and the continuous inflow of visitors. After the opening of the Lhasa Qinghai–Tibet Railway in 2006, the development of urban infrastructures in Lhasa has facilitated the devel- opment of the city as well as promoted the health and well-being of its citizens. However, these advancements were accompanied by changes in land use. The land use/cover change reveals the large floating population in Lhasa and underscores the role of high population growth in the economic prosperity of the former agricultural and pastoral areas in the city.

  • Pearl River Delta Demonstration Project
    Global Water Partnership (China) WACDEP Work Package Five outcome report Pearl River Delta Demonstration Project Pearl River Water Resources Research Institution December 201 Copyright @ 2016 by GWP China Preface The Pearl River Delta (PRD) is the low-lying area surrounding the Pearl River estuary where the Pearl River flows into the South China Sea. It is one of the most densely urbanized regions in the world and one of the main hubs of China's economic growth. This region is often considered an emerging megacity. The PRD is a megalopolis, with future development into a single mega metropolitan area, yet itself is at the southern end of a larger megalopolis running along the southern coast of China, which include Hong Kong, Macau and large metropolises like Chaoshan, Zhangzhou-Xiamen, Quanzhou-Putian, and Fuzhou. It is also a region which was opened up to commerce and foreign investment in 1978 by the central government of the People’s Republic of China. The Pearl River Delta economic area is the main exporter and importer of all the great regions of China, and can even be regarded as an economic power. In 2002, exports from the Delta to regions other than Hong Kong, Macau and continental China reached USD 160 billion. The Pearl River Delta, despite accounting for just 0.5 percent of the total Chinese territory and having just 5 percent of its population, generates 20 percent of the country’s GDP. The population of the Pearl River Delta, now estimated at 50 million people, is expected to grow to 75 million within a decade.

There are currently four ECAs in the world, each protecting densely populated coastal regions that experience heavy ship traffic. Although China has one of the most densely populated coastal areas on Earth and is home to some of the world’s busiest ports, it is not protected by an ECA.
