  • Yangtze River Cruise, China
    Yangtze River Cruise, China If you haven’t traveled up the mighty Yangtze, you haven’t been anywhere. The Yangtze River is the third longest river and one of the most popular cruising destinations in the world. Tourists enjoy the most beautiful scenery and historical hot- spots in this region and get the opportunity to immerse themselves in diverse culture. Luxury cruises in the Yangtze River sum up all the things that China has to offer in one amazing experience. Most of these cruises originate from Shanghai, Jiangyin, Chongqing and Nanjing. During the cruise, tourists get to see the Purple Mountain., Mount Huang and the lower Yangtze delta among many other scenes of natural beauty while being introduced to Chinese traditions and customs. “Three Gorges” is a major highlight about the cruise since it holds ancient historical significance. It is also a memorable experience to explore the Shennong Stream, which has its own unique scenery. The Shennong Stream has four natural gorges with their own characteristics and one of them, namely Yingwu Gorge is known for its elegance and the evergreen vegetation along the banks, which remains beautiful throughout the year. The common Chinese saying “If you haven’t traveled up the mighty Yangtze, you haven’t been anywhere”, well describes the beauty that this cruise has to offer. Yangtze River Cruise Map Facts about Yangtze River Cruise Close to the “Three Gorges” is the controversial “Three Gorges Dam,” which many regard to be an unwelcome addition to the land. The Qutang, Wu and Xiling gorges make up the trio.

  • Gender Quotas in China Introduction
    Gender quotas in China Qi Wang Department of Design and Communication University of Southern Denmark Introduction Gender quotas, as an instrument to promote gender equality in politics, have been adopted worldwide since the UN Fourth Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995. During the decades prior to the UN Conference on Women, say between 1930s and 1980s, only ten countries in the world that actually practiced gender quotas (Du, 2012a; Chen, 2010:13) and these are mostly developed countries. After the UN Conference on Women and under the influence of the “Beijing Platform for Action” which designates the proportion of women in decision-making bodies at various levels should be no lesser than 30 percent, more than one hundred countries in the world, mostly developing countries, have introduced gender quotas of various kinds to achieve greater gender balance in politics within their respective national, cultural, political and institutional contexts (ibid.). And the result is evident. While the Nordic countries are still taking the lead in having between 39% and 44 % of women in their respective national parliament, Rwanda and Andorra have created the highest record in human history by bringing 50% women and more into politics.
