  • 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.

  • Trip Diary – North Korea (Plus Some South Korea and China Too) 2012
    Trip Diary – North Korea (plus some South Korea and China too) 2012 Thursday September 6, 2012 – Arriving in Beijing The next pre‐tour option was a couple of nights in Beijing, with most of the group arriving on Thursday, although some chose to arrive earlier and spend more time in Beijing. Those of us who had already taken the pre‐tour option in South Korea flew to Beijing today, with most of us choosing one of two flights that both conveniently left Seoul around 1pm and arrived into Beijing at 2pm (actually a two hour flight due to the one hour time zone change). Our flights from Seoul arrived into the enormous new Terminal 3 of Beijing Capital International Airport, opened in 2008 as part of Beijing’s growth spurt in time for hosting the Olympic Games in August of that year. For a few months, it was the largest airport terminal in the world, but was eclipsed by Dubai’s Terminal 3 in October of 2008. It is the fifth largest building in the world (in terms of area – 13 million square feet) and the airport as a whole is currently the world’s second busiest in terms of passenger movements (Atlanta being the reigning champion, although probably not for much longer). Normally airport terminals mean nothing to me. I’m focused on traveling through them as quickly as possible – either on the way to the flight or on the way to baggage claim and out of the airport. They are, pretty much everywhere in the world, semi‐generic in nature.

In 1864, with the help of a court chef to Emperor Tongzhi of the Qing dynasty (1644-1912), Yang Quanren created the first Quanjude, the roasted duck restaurant that has now grown into a chain with over 100 restaurants in 21 provinces across China and several overseas. More than one hundred years later, with the opening of China in 1979, Quanjude became the official place to receive world leaders on their visits to China. Along with the game of Ping Pong and the liquor Maotai, Peking duck was for many years one of China’s most important diplomatic offerings, and a highlight of state visits to the nation’s capital.

  • 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.

  • The Commercialization of Beijing Hutongs
    Journal of Geography and Geology; Vol. 10, No. 4; 2018 ISSN 1916-9779 E-ISSN 1916-9787 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education The Commercialization of Beijing Hutongs Ruoxuan Mao1 1 Beijing National Day School, Beijing, China Correspondence: Ruoxuan Mao, Beijing National Day School, Beijing, No. 66, Yuquan Road, China. Tel: 86-182- 1035-1519. E-mail: [email protected] Received: August 3, 2018 Accepted: September 10, 2018 Online Published: November 27, 2018 doi:10.5539/jgg.v10n4p39 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/jgg.v10n4p39 Abstract This paper addresses the transition of Hutongs from alleys connecting the main streets to fully commercialized districts. Hutongs are narrow streets formed by rows of Siheyuans (quadrangle dwellings), a traditional type of Chinese architecture consists of four houses surrounding a courtyard. The architectural layout of Siheyuan is four houses surrounding a courtyard. There are several types of Siheyuans, including the Beijing Siheyuan. Along with the development of Beijing since 1949, numerous Siheyuans were demolished. However, since the 1980s, many Hutongs were brought under national and local protection. Some of the best preserved Hutongs, especially those in the center areas of Beijing, are now more commercialized than they were prior to the ‘80s. This paper discusses the causes as well as consequences of such commercialization. Literature concerning the Hutongs frequently discusses the Hutongs' history and the shift in their architectural design, as well as other aspects that have changed over time. By contrast, this paper discusses a special phenomenon of Hutongs in Beijing — commercialization — and focuses on the causes and results of it.
