Sights on the Roads Less Traveled New Book Features Authoritative Coverage of China’S Best Sights, a F As Ye Jun Discovers LIFETRAVEL 19 CHINA DAILY THURSDAY MARCH 1, 2007 Sights on the roads less traveled New book features authoritative coverage of China’s best sights, A F as Ye Jun discovers oreign tourists visiting China might fi nd many more alternatives for their travel destinations with the help of a recently published book, FScenic Splendor of China by Chinese National Geography magazine. The book aims to expand people’s understanding of the country’s most beautiful places, and differs greatly from conventional wisdom. “The book gives a fresh ranking of scenic spots in China, which are B no longer restricted to more known G tourist destinations such as Mount Taishan in Shandong Province and West Lake in Zhejiang Province, but cover a whole lot of different natural and cultural sceneries,” said Li Shuanke, a general manager with Chinese National Geography. The book lists 114 of the most beautiful places in 17 categories. These include more conventional classifications such as mountains, lakes, coastlines, waterfalls, forests, desserts, gorges, islands, grass- lands, cities, countryside towns and villages. But others fall into unusual classifications, such as the most beautiful caves, marshlands, Yadan (wind-eroded precipitous hillock) landforms, Danxia (red sandstone and conglomerate) landscapes, peak forests, and even glaciers. Contradictory to the fact that China’s national-level scenic areas are mostly located in the densely populated eastern part of China, most of the places mentioned in the H C book are located in the western part of the country. Li explained that in the past, the scenic spots most familiar to the Chinese people are mostly associated with poems, paintings and legends about them. For example, there are hundred of poems and literature works describ- ing Mount Taishan and West Lake, which make them very famous among the Chinese. But this time, the crite- ria to judge the sceneries are more related to their geographical beauty than cultural fame. “Scenic landscapes are (more likely) to be found in less popu- lated areas,” wrote Shan Zhiqiang, executive editor-in-chief at Chinese National Geography, in the preface to D the book. “(These places are) remote I from the attention of literati and art- ists of the past.” For example, the No 1 most beauti- ful mountain is Namjagbarwa Peak in Tibet Autonomous Region, and No 2 Mount Gongga in Sichuan Province, while the better-known Mount Qo- molangma ranks No 3. Kanas Lake in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Nam Co Lake in Tibet, which many people consider the most beautiful lakes in China, rank No 2 and No 3 in the most beautiful lakes ranking. Qinghai Lake in Qinghai Province is ranked No 1. West Lake comes as the 5th. Glaciers in China have never been covered before as in this book, which lists six most beautiful glaciers in its ranking. Two of these are in Tibet, two in Xinjiang, and one each in Sichuan and Gansu. Rongpo Glacier, ranked No 1, is located at the foot of Qomolangma. It is one of the world’s most completely developed and best-preserved val- ley glaciers. Hailuogou Glacier in Sichuan, ranked No 3, has an ice waterfall that is 1,100 meters wide, with a drop of 1,080 meters. E The Shichahai area in Beijing is J ranked in 5th place in the fi ve most beautiful city districts ranking. ■ China’s three most beautiful Yadan landforms Gulangyu, a beautiful islet dubbed ■ China’s three most beautiful coastlines Photos courtesy of Chinese 1.

However, the long-term evolution of lakes in a certain megacity and the heterogeneity of the spatial relationship between related influencing factors and lake changes are rarely discussed. The evolution of 58 lakes in Wuhan, China from 1990 to 2019 was analyzed from three aspects of lake area, lake landscape, and lakefront ecology, respectively. The Multi-Scale Geographic Weighted Regression model (MGWR) was then used to analyze the impact of related influencing factors on lake area change. The investigation found that the total area of 58 lakes decreased by 15.3%. A worsening trend was found regarding lake landscape with the five landscape indexes of lakes dropping; in contrast, lakefront ecology saw a gradual recovery with variations in the remote sensing ecological index (RSEI) in the lakefront area. The MGWR regression results showed that, on the whole, the increase in Gross Domestic Product (GDP), RSEI in the lakefront area, precipitation, and humidity Citation: Wen, C.; Zhan, Q.; Zhan, contributed to lake restoration.

Hangzhou is approximately 400 airline miles (625 kilometers) southwest of Shanghai and is the largest urban area in Zhejiang (Slide 2). The province itself is named for the Zhe River (now called the Qiantang River), which runs through the southern part of the Hangzhou urban area. The historic core is located approximately 100 miles to the southwest of Shanghai. Most of the Hangzhou urban area is flat, but there are intermittent hills. There are more significant hills to the west of the urban area, especially beyond West Lake (aerial photograph, Slide 3). 1 http://www.demographia.com/db-worldua.pdf and http://www.demographia.com/db-worldua2015.pdf.

  • Evaluation of the Fairness of Urban Lakes' Distribution Based On
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article Evaluation of the Fairness of Urban Lakes’ Distribution Based on Spatialization of Population Data: A Case Study of Wuhan Urban Development Zone Jing Wu *, Shen Yang y and Xu Zhang y School of Urban Design, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072, China; [email protected] (S.Y.); [email protected] (X.Z.) * Correspondence: [email protected] These authors contributed equally to the research. y Received: 14 November 2019; Accepted: 4 December 2019; Published: 8 December 2019 Abstract: Lake reclamation for urban construction has caused serious damage to lakes in cities undergoing rapid urbanization. This process affects urban ecological environment and leads to inconsistent urban expansion, population surge, and uneven distribution of urban lakes. This study measured the fairness of urban lakes’ distribution and explored the spatial matching relationship between service supply and user group demand. The interpretation and analysis of Wuhan’s remote sensing images, population, administrative area, traffic network, and other data in 2018 were used as the basis. Specifically, the spatial distribution pattern and fairness of lakes’ distribution in Wuhan urban development zone were investigated. This study establishes a geographic weighted regression (GWR) model of land cover types and population data based on a spatialization method of population data based on land use, and uses population spatial data and network accessibility analysis results to evaluate lake service levels in the study area. Macroscopically, the correlation analysis of sequence variables and Gini coefficient analysis method are used to measure the fairness of the Wuhan lake distribution problem and equilibrium degree, and the location entropy analysis is used to quantitatively analyze the fairness of lakes and Wuhan streets from the perspective of supply and demand location entropy.
