Program Overview

Today’s China is experiencing immense economic and social transformation, with rapid development of Chinese cities, the domestic challenges of migration and displacement, and cultural preservation representing only a number of the changes brought about by the economic reforms of Deng Xiaoping. China’s education policies have also been a major focus of these reforms, and as a result modern-day education in China is ever-changing, with internationalism and cultural exchange as growing facets of the system. Through this cultural exchange program, participants will gain an understanding of the economic, political and social realities that compound the challenges faced by today’s China and will return home from this one-week immersion experience with an in-depth and unique understanding of Chinese culture.

Destination Information - Shanghai, China

China’s geographic area is slightly larger than the United States, stretching more than 3,000 miles, with extreme climatic variation similar to that of the United States. There are 22 provinces in China, five autonomous regions, four municipalities (including Shanghai), two special administrative regions (Hong Kong and Macao), and Taiwan, which is claimed as a province by China but is not under its administration. China has 56 officially recognized ethnic groups, with the Han Chinese representing more than 90% of its 1.3 billion people. This vast nation has the largest population in the world, and is one of the oldest continuous civilizations in the world, with a written history over 3,500 years. Following the economic reforms set in motion by Deng Xiaoping in 1978, China has grown to become a major global player on the international stage. Modernization of Chinese society is evident in today’s dress, the types of consumer products now available, and the towering skyscrapers that adorn the skyline of global cities like Shanghai. These changes have taken place with the Communist Party still at the helm. Experiencing China in the 21st century is truly exciting, and you will have the opportunity to observe firsthand how the Chinese people respond to the dramatic economic and social changes, while maintaining their distinct culture and long-standing traditions.

The cosmopolitan port city of Shanghai is composed of 18 county-level divisions, and has a population of over 24 million people. Once known as the “Paris of the East,” Shanghai was the most important financial center in the Far East. The city played an important role in China’s modern history, and is the site of the First Congress of the Communist Party of China. Shanghai has also offered temporary shelter to almost all major political and literary figures during the first half of the 20th century. The Western architecture along the Bund waterfront area exemplifies Shanghai’s history as an international center of commerce, while at the same time serving as a reminder of China’s recent semi-colonial past. Across the , in the Special Economic Zone, the Chinese aim to reclaim Shanghai’s position as a global commercial and financial center, but one that is built by the Chinese. In the meantime, major infrastructural projects are clearly visible throughout the city, as its old lane houses (lilong) give way to high-rise apartments, and city planners struggle balancing continued economic development with preserving the city’s unique cultural heritage.

Host Institution - East China Normal University

Established in 1951, East China Normal University (ECNU) is one of China’s key institutions of higher education that specializes in teacher education. The university is based on two campuses and includes 18 schools and colleges, 54 departments and 67 undergraduate programs. Among these the International College of Chinese Studies is nationally regarded and is one among eight state bases for teaching Chinese as a second language. ECNU enrolls over 14,000 fulltime undergraduate students, 7,700 graduate students and 2,700 international students. The program is based on the historic Putuo District campus, which is known as the “Garden Campus” for its beautiful grounds and is located on the bank of the Liwa River adjacent to Changfeng Park and northwest of Zhongshan Park in central Shanghai.

IV. Site Visit Information

Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Hall

The Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Hall is located on the People's Square. It covers an area of over 0.4 hectare and rises 142 feet high. There are five floors above the ground and two underground. It opened to the public in 2000. This hall was built to show the achievement of the city planning and construction. It has many functions, such as exhibition, reference, research, communication, recreation and entertainment. The main body of the building covers Shanghai's development from ancient times to the present and beyond. The theme of this building is 'City, People, Environment and Development'. There is a city model made to a scale of 1/500. The appearance of the old streets in the 1930s reminds people to think of the old passing days in that city. The view of a future Shanghai is presented with high technology such as virtual reality and fantasy-view magic vision. The big city planning lifelike model displays for you the city's vista of the future.

The design and style of the main building add beauty to the surrounding environment. Its designers borrowed their inspiration from traditional Chinese city gates, and follow the Chinese aesthetic ideal which emphasizes central symmetry and incorporates the traditional with a modern flair. The top of the building is designed in the shape of a white magnolia - the flower of Shanghai. The design of the building was awarded the "White Magnolia Cup" and China 'Luban Cup', the top Chinese award in architectural construction.

Since its opening, the hall has received many visitors from home and abroad, including Chinese leaders. Through years of development, it has become a base for national science education, patriotism education and environment protection education, and also a profession training base. Due to its multiple functions, it is regarded as a window for Shanghai to communicate with the outside world.

Nanjing Road

China's premier shopping street, 3.4-mile-long Nanjing Road, starts at the Bund in the east and ends in the west at the junction of Jing'an Temple and Yan'an West Street. Today it is a must-see metropolitan destination attracting thousands of fashion-seeking shoppers from all over the world. After the Opium War (1839-1842), Shanghai became a treaty port. Nanjing Road was first the British Concession, then the International Settlement. Importing large quantities of foreign goods, it became the earliest shopping street of the city.

Over time, Nanjing Road has been restructured, undergoing significant change. For shopping convenience, its eastern end has an all-weather pedestrian arcade. Big traditional stores no longer dominate the market since modern shopping malls, specialty stores, theatres, and international hotels have mushroomed on both sides of the street.

CUNY Guttman Community College · CIEE Custom and Faculty-Led Program 2019 Page 13

Today over 600 businesses on the road offer countless famous brands, superior quality, and new fashions. KFC, McDonald's, Pizza Hut, and other world-famous food vendors line both sides of the street. Upscale stores include Tiffany, Mont Blanc, and Dunhill. In addition, approximately a hundred traditional stores and specialty shops still provide choice silk goods, jade, embroidery, wool, and clocks.

Open-air bars, abstract sculptures, and lingering sounds from street musicians enhance evening strolls. A trackless sightseeing train provides a comfortable tour of the night-transformed pedestrian street. Flashing neon signs illuminate the magnificent buildings and spangle the night skyline of this lively city.

The Bund

The Bund, also called Zhongshan Dong Yi Lu (East Zhongshan 1st Road), is a famous waterfront and regarded as the symbol of Shanghai for hundreds of years. It is on the west bank of Huangpu River from the to Nanpu Bridge and winds 1500 meters (0.93 mile) in length. The most famous and attractive sight which is at the west side of the Bund are the 26 various buildings of different architectural styles including Gothic, Baroque, Romanesque, Classicism and the Renaissance. The 1,700-meters (1,859 yards) long flood-control wall, known as 'the lovers' wall', located on the side of Huangpu River from to Xinkai River and once was the most romantic corner in Shanghai in the last century. After renovation, the monotone concrete buildings that lovers leaned against in the past have been improved into hollowed-out railings full of romantic atmosphere. Standing by the railings, visitors can have a 'snap-shot' view of the scenery of Pudong Area and Huangpu River.

History Before the 1840s, the Bund was a muddy narrow lane with tall reeds. It initially became a British settlement. After Shanghai was established as the trading port in 1846, a street was paved there and the riversides were reinforced. Then, rows of commercial buildings were constructed. As the UK Concession, a building boom at the end of 19th century and beginning of 20th century led to the Bund becoming a major financial hub of East Asia. It was the center of the city's politics, economy and culture more than a hundred years ago, consulates of most countries and many banks, businesses and newspaper offices were settled there, and that's why we have these art-like buildings.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, with the thawing of economic policy in the People's Republic of China, buildings on the Bund were gradually returned to their former uses. Government institutions were moved out in favor of financial institutions, while hotels resumed trading as such. In the 1990s the Shanghai government attempted to promote an extended concept of the Bund to boost tourism and land values in nearby areas, as well as to reconcile the promotion of 'colonial relics' with Socialist ideology. From 2008, a major reconfiguration of traffic flow along the Bund was carried out. After a 33-month upgrade, the Bund was reopened to visitors on March 28, 2010. The veil on the new Bund was finally lifted.

CUNY Guttman Community College · CIEE Custom and Faculty-Led Program 2019 Page 14

After the reconstruction, most transit vehicles which originally got through the ground level roads began to make their way through the new underground tunnel. The original eleven driveways on the Bund ground were compressed into four two-way lanes. Thus more space was left for expending the four major squares: Huangpu Park, Chen Yi Square, the Bund Financial Square, and the Observatory Plaza. After being reconstructed, the new Bund waterfront is neat and atmospheric. The public activity space is expansive embracing more visitors.

The Bund has been called a 'museum of international architecture' and indeed it was and still is. But it was also much more. Here were located the banks, hotels, exclusive clubs, press organizations and headquarters of international concerns. The twenty-six major structures, of various heights along approximately 1.5 kilometers of Zhongshan Lu and the Huangpu River, have changed little externally since the 1930s. All were constructed in western-inspired styles. After the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949 the old tenants were gone. They had already been impacted by the wartime crises. Many of the structures were subdivided into government offices, department stores or storage areas. Furnishings were sold off or destroyed, and architectural features covered.

Night View It is worth a visit to see the florid night view of the Bund. Under the tenet of keeping harmony and unity, the use of period lamp-posts is in keeping with the aesthetic feeling of the building structures. It fully exhibits the magnificence of the various buildings of different architectural styles and makeup of the best night scene of Shanghai together with the colorful lights floating in the river and the flashing lights on the far side of the river. The night piece of the Bund was named in 'Shanghai top ten night light views' in 2009.

City Sculptures Near the Nanjing Road intersection stands what is currently the only bronze statue along the Bund, a statue of Chen Yi who was the first Communist mayor of Shanghai. At the northern end, along the riverfront, is Huangpu Park, in which is situated the Monument to the People's Heroes - a tall, abstract concrete tower which is a memorial for those died during the revolutionary struggle for Shanghai dating back to the Opium Wars. As the victor of the war, the British nationals in the Bund put up a 'cross' to mark their 'aggression' which is the Red Rock Monument. On the south side of the Bund Garden Bridge stands an Ever Victorious Army Monument, which was funded by Li Hongzhang to commemorate the officers and soldiers of the Victorious Army who died in the battles against the Taiping Army from 1862 to 1864. Located in front of Shanghai Custom House at Road, the statue Hart was regarded as the most famous statue in Shanghai history. Hurt, British Northern Irishman, had served as Secretary General of Chinese Customs up to 48 years. Another famous sculpture is the World War Monument which was the largest one in the city at that time. It was made to commemorate the soldiers who died in the World War I coming from Shanghai.

Marriage Market The primary goal of attending the Shanghai marriage market is for parents to find a suitable partner for their child. The standards of finding the right match may be based upon (but not limited to) age, height, job, income, education, family values, Chinese zodiac sign, and personality. All of this information is written on a piece of paper, which is then hung upon long strings among other parents' advertisements for their children. The parents walk around chatting with other parents to see if there is a harmonious fit only after their children's standards are met.

CUNY Guttman Community College · CIEE Custom and Faculty-Led Program 2019 Page 15

Many parents do not have permission from their child to go to this event. It has been described as "match.com meets farmers' market" with a low success rate. In many parents' eyes, parent matchmaking gatherings such as the Shanghai Marriage Market are the only way to uphold a traditional dating style for their children in modern China. China's long idealized tradition of continuing their family lineage is very important within Chinese culture. As the children of the One Child Policy start to become of typical marriage age, the so-called marriage "market" of China has wavered in stability, particularly for males in China. The University of Kent predicts that by the year 2020, 24 million men will be unmarried and unable to find a wife.

The marriage market at People's Square has existed since 2004. As of April, 2013, it costs approximately $3.20 USD for an advertisement that is displayed for five months, and marriage brokers provide full access to phone numbers for a $16.00 registration fee.

Yu Garden

Yuyuan Garden is a famous classical garden located in Anren Jie, Shanghai. It was finished in 1577 by a government officer of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) named Pan Yunduan. Yu in Chinese means pleasing and satisfying, and this garden was specially built for Pan's parents as a place for them to enjoy a tranquil and happy time in their old age.

In the 400 years of existence, Yuyuan Garden had undergone many changes. During the late Ming Dynasty, it became very dilapidated with the decline of Pan's family. In 1760, some rich merchants bought it and spent more than 20 years reconstructing the buildings. During the Opium War of the 19th century, it was severely damaged. The garden you see today is the result of a five-year restoration project which began in 1956. It was open to the public in September, 1961.

Yuyuan Garden occupies an area of 20,000 square meters (about five acres). However, the small size is not a representative of the attractions of the garden. The pavilions, halls, rockeries, ponds and cloisters all have unique characteristics. There are six main scenic areas here: Sansui Hall, Wanhua Chamber, Dianchun Hall, Huijing Hall, Yuhua Hall and the Inner Garden. Each area features several scenic spots within its borders.

Old City God Temple (Chenghuangmiao Temple)

Another grand reclining Buddha is enshrined on the opposite, which is 4 meters long and brought from by the tenth abbot of the temple.

Oriental Pearl TV Tower

The Oriental Pearl TV Tower is located in Pudong Park in Lujiazui, Shanghai. The tower, surrounded by the Yangpu Bridge in the northeast and the Nanpu Bridge in the southwest, creates a picture of 'twin dragons playing with pearls'. The entire scene is a photographic jewel that excites the imagination and attracts thousands of visitors year-round.

This 468-meters-high tower is the world's sixth and China's second tallest TV and radio tower. However, even more alluring than its height is the unique architectural design that makes the Oriental Pearl TV Tower one of the most attractive places anywhere. Its base is supported by three seven-meter wide slanting stanchions. Surrounding the eleven steel spheres that are 'strung' vertically through the center of the tower are three nine-meter wide columns.

Propaganda Poster Art Centre

In the days before CNN and Fox News, a still image truly was worth a thousand words, and these posters were how Mao and his group informed and restored the collective mind of the Chinese people. Each and every poster is both a work of art and an insight into the events of those times. The museum is located in the basement of an apartment building in the former French Concession area and is visited mainly by tourists.

V. Other Information

Time

Time throughout China is standardized and based on Beijing time. Shanghai is 12 hours ahead of EDT; when it is 9:00 pm in Shanghai, it is 9:00 am the same day in New York during the summer months.

Meals & Cuisine

Chinese cuisine can be divided into four main regional categories: Beijing and (with steamed bread and noodles instead of rice as staples); and (lightly cooked meats and vegetables); Shanghai (light flavors and not spicy); and Sichuan (very spicy and famous for its unique numbing pepper corns). Green tea is the most common nonalcoholic beverage, although Coca-Cola is also popular.

Climate

Shanghai is located on the Yangtze River Delta on the coast of eastern China and has a subtropical climate. During the months of April the average high temperature is 75°F and the average precipitation is 2.5 inches. Expect the weather in Shanghai to vary from day to day, some days may be pleasant with lots of sunshine; others may be overcast and cool.

Electricity

All outlets in China are 220 volts, 50 cycles. You will need to bring a transformer if you are bringing an electrical appliance that does not have a “universal” power supply.

Money Matters

The currency in China is called the People's Currency, or renminbi in Chinese, and the official basic unit of currency is the yuan, which is colloquially called kuai in mainland China, and is divided into jiao, which is also colloquially called mao, and fen. Ten fen make one jiao and ten jiao make one yuan. Denominations of paper currency in yuan range from one, two, five, ten, twenty, fifty and hundred yuan notes. Denominations of paper currency in jiao range from one, two and five jiao notes, and there is also an unpopular one fen note that is typically only given for exact change by banks conducting foreign currency exchange. Denominations of coinage in fen range from one, two, and five fen coins, and there are one, and five jiao coins, and the one yuan coin.

As prices have increased, fen is no longer accepted except at banks. The lowest denomination in common circulation is the jiao. In Shanghai paper jiao is virtually out of circulation, while in the countryside the one yuan coin is sometimes not accepted and large bills can be difficult to break. The local abbreviation for the Chinese renminbi currency is RMB and the currency symbol for its basic unit the yuan is ¥ (the same symbol for the Japanese yen). The official international ISO currency code used by banks for Chinese yuan is the abbreviation CNY, and is used in this document accordingly.

Exchange Rate The interbank currency exchange rate as of this writing is approximately: USD 1=CNY 6.7. The exchange rate does fluctuate and may differ depending on if you are purchasing or selling USD, using cash, credit card, or wire transfer. The New York Times and similar publications publish exchange rates daily. You may also reference www.x-rates.com or www.oanda.com for up to the minute exchange rates. You should keep abreast of how the rate fluctuates leading up to departure.

CUNY Guttman Community College · CIEE Custom and Faculty-Led Program 2019 Page 22

Traveler’s Checks Traveler’s Checks are secure and offer better exchange rates than cash, but they can be somewhat inconvenient and difficult to cash. Traveler’s Checks can only be exchanged at four and five-star hotels or at the Bank of China during regular banking hours. Participants should not bring travelers checks unless you are bringing a large amount of money, as it will be difficult and inconvenient to cash them.

Credit Cards Visa and American Express cards can be used to obtain cash advances from the Bank of China, but there is a daily limit of $100 US and a 4% service charge. A few large hotels and department stores will allow you to make purchases with Visa and AMEX. MasterCard and Diner's Club are also accepted at some locations.

ATM/Debit Cards Bank issued ATM and debit cards, especially those branded with Visa, MasterCard, and American Express, can be used easily to withdraw cash in big cities like Shanghai at the ATM machines of most Chinese banks. Inquire with the issuer of your card to verify that the card is valid for an international banking system. Also, they recommend that you memorize your cash card’s PIN in numbers (not letters).

Most Chinese bank ATMs will permit you to take out CNY 2,000-2,500 per transaction. The Chinese bank will not charge for withdrawing funds from an ATM machine, but funds can only be withdrawn in local currency and the international bank may charge the standard ATM fee for banks outside its network, which can be substantial and is charged for each transaction. The maximum daily withdrawal amount on international accounts is determined by the international bank. This total amount may be withdrawn at once from the bank teller using an international bank ATM credit card to reduce the number of transaction fees, but a 3% service fee will be charged by most Chinese banks, including the Bank of China.

Not all Chinese banks with ATM machines, however, accept international ATM cards, so if you do not see a credit card logo on the welcome screen of an ATM machine at a bank not mentioned above, it most likely does not accept international cards, as is the case with many of the Agricultural Bank of China branches. The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) next to the front gate of ECNU accepts most international ATM cards and at all branches throughout China. There is also a Bank of China branch on Jinshajiang Road walking distance from the CIEE Residence Hall west of campus.

PLEASE NOTE: It is a good idea to call your bank or credit card company to let them know of your international travel plans so they do not freeze your account after your first transaction overseas. Have their toll or collect telephone number with you when you travel in case you need to contact them regarding access to funds, since calling toll-free numbers like 1-800 can be complicated from overseas.

Tipping & Bargaining

Tipping is not customary in mainland China. However, attitudes about tipping are starting to change, and tourist grade hotels often include service charge in their bills. There is no need to tip taxi drivers, restaurant staff or bellhops. Bargaining is usually acceptable in smaller shops and street stalls, but not in larger stores.

Communication

Language The official language of the People’s Republic of China is Mandarin, which is based on the dialect spoken in northern China, and is understood by 90% of Chinese. However, there are six major dialect groups in the country, subdivided into many other dialects. In Shanghai local people use their dialect, which is called Shanghai Hua, in daily communication. While people in different regions

CUNY Guttman Community College · CIEE Custom and Faculty-Led Program 2019 Page 23 might not understand each other’s verbal language, they use the same basic set of written characters and can communicate in writing. Please note that English is not widely spoken in China, although college-age youth often speak some English, and they can be quite willing to give directions or assist foreign visitors.

Internet Rooms in the hotel come equipped with cable internet access, and there is Wi-Fi in the hotel lobby. CIEE staff will provide you with a username and password to log on to the internet upon request. The CIEE Study Center Library has four computers available for you to check email during office hours. Internet cafés located near the back gate of ECNU and throughout the city are typically open 24 hours.

Some internet sites are blocked in mainland China, including social networking sites like YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, as will many blogging services like BlogSpot. If you need to access these sites while in China you should speak to your home university IT department prior to departure about accessing their Virtual Private Network (VPN), which requires a user name and password or purchase a one month access to a commercial VPN like Witopia or 12VPN.

Telephone The China country code is: 86

The Shanghai area code is: 21 (add 0 if calling from a landline outside Shanghai but within China) To call the US from China, dial 001+ three-digit area code +seven-digit landline

To call China from the US, dial 011+86+21 +eight-digit landline or 011+86+ eleven-digit mobile number

Travel Information

Health Advisories The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides information regarding your health while traveling in China on their website http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/destinations/china.aspx. There are no vaccinations required for travel to China, however the CDC does provide suggestions, as well as the most current information about H1N1 (Swine Flu), H5N1 (Avian Flu) and SARS. You can also go to the China page of the World Health Organization for China-specific health advisory information: http://www.who.int/countries/chn/en/. CIEE strongly recommends that you consult your physician prior to departure to determine what steps you should take and for any supplemental advice. One word of warning: DO NOT DRINK TAP WATER. You should drink boiled water or purchase bottled water, which is widely available.

Travel Advisories US State Department provides current travel warnings on their website www.travel.state.gov. Although China is a safe destination, petty theft does occur. Larger cities such as Shanghai keep good social order and are relatively safe; however, you should take the same precautions as you would in any major US city. Purse snatching, pick-pocketing, and other forms of theft do occur. As a Westerner, you will be a natural target for a pickpocket. To avoid petty theft, use common sense: Dress down, do not bring or wear expensive jewelry, and do not do anything that you would not CUNY Guttman Community College · CIEE Custom and Faculty-Led Program 2019 Page 24 normally do at home. Keep your valuables in your front pocket, not in a backpack or shoulder bag and do not hang your bag or purse on the back of your chair, be aware in crowds and when crossing intersections, and do not exchange money on the street. If you travel independently in Shanghai you should exercise reasonable caution when approached by strangers in public places, especially tourist sites or crowded places, or if invited to visit a friend’s establishment. Common scams by dishonest businesses include hiring youths to befriend and lure unsuspecting tourists to an establishment to experience some famous aspect of traditional Chinese culture, which in the end costs much more than anticipated. So be wary of persons posing as students at Nanjing Road, People’s Square and on the Bund who offer to take you to look at a Chinese art gallery or to participate in a Chinese tea ceremony, etc. In addition, men should be cautious of friendly young women who offer to take you to a “friend’s bar” for “cheaper drinks” or to sing karaoke and the like. As with the above scams, the establishment will present an unreasonably high bill to the unsuspecting target, often for unsolicited services or food and drinks never consumed. In some cases the target is mugged or threatened with violence by accomplices after refusing to pay.
