All too often, modern Chinese history is encapsulated in episodes such as the Cultural Revolution and the War of Resistance against Japan. If we want to remember a world which has been forgotten and erased, along with its bourgeois ways, we need to dig further. Once upon a time, Chinese high society swung to gramophones, sipped Champagne and enjoyed fine dining. Let us for a moment contemplate what it must have been like for those who came long before us; the diplomats and their families, many of whom brought their Victorian manner to mainland China. 10 The former French Embassy, the most beautiful structure on Gaoyunling Alley. he Nanjinger has this month explored the This Victorian mansion, that takes up 1,765.90 square very buildings left standing where these metres, is now a restaurant, used in the past as a people lived and worked; the city’s former hospital, as well as a hotel. Elegant, luxurious and Tembassies. As capital of China during what very British, the building is one of the only former is now known as the Republican Era (1912-1949), embassies (perhaps beside that of the Dutch) to have Nanjing was home to a multitude of embassies, kept its original structure and feel to this day. their dignitaries and staff serving within, many of which built in a European manner, mirroring their country’s architectural preferences. Much of Nanjing today simply did not exist back then, with the exception of locations such as Xinjiekou and Fuzimiao. Sometimes referred to nowadays as the old embassy district, back then, Gulou was literally the new kid on the block, home to the most important of government bodies, buildings, embassies and people of note, as Nanjing settled into its role as capital of the world’s newest and most populous nation. Among Nanjing’s former official residences of foreign ambassadors, none can compare to the extravagance and magnificence of that which was the British Embassy. Located at 185 Huju Bei Lu, it was built in 1919 and rented by the British Embassy during the Republican Era from 1924 to 1950, after the capital was moved to Beijing. In 1953, it began to be used by the Jiangsu Provincial People’s Government. 11 As one approaches the mansion, it becomes easy to where many an important African, Middle Eastern imagine life as an expat in the 1920s.

On behalf of the Nanjing Youth Olympic Games Organising Committee (NYOGOC), I would like to extend my sincere greetings to all the National Olympic Committees (NOCs) and offer you this Chefs de Mission Manual for Nanjing 2014 Summer Youth Olympic Games. With the invaluable guidance of both the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the International Federations (IFs), and the great support of the NOCs, we have sought to put forward such concepts as youth and vigour, participation and sharing, cultural diversity and integration, wisdom and creativity, green energy and low-carbon emissions and safety and integrity, involving young people by giving them leading roles, and highlighting the importance of culture and education. Our aim is to stage a spectacular, high-quality event, which will encourage young people from around the world to “Share the Games, Share their Dreams”. As organiser of this global event, NYOGOC made the most of events such as the Chefs de Mission Seminar to listen to suggestions from NOCs and integrate them into the Chefs de Mission Manual, which compiles essential Games-related information, and policies and procedures in order to assist NOCs and to ensure their stay in Nanjing is both a pleasant and memorable one. Welcome to Nanjing! We hope our provision of top-quality facilities and an eco-friendly environment will guarantee the best services to young athletes and NOCs alike.

    An investigation into the elements of a successful methodology for influencing contemporary interior design environment of tourist class globally- branded hotels based in China by Yansen Che A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy in the Department of Art and Design 2014 Leicester, UK 1 Abstract The main purpose of the study is to investigate the possibility of achieving global hotel design diversification through the utilization of traditional cultural characteristics. The focus of this study is global hotel design in local countries of China. The research investigates using glocalisation design (which means the localization plus the globalization) in hotels, to challenge the global hotels’ design style that the same in many different countries and cities. This research addresses the relationship between local cultural element styles and the design of global branding hotel style efficacy within hotel in local countries of China. Relevant literature on the nature of global hotel design style was reviewed. Three stages of primary research (a critical review, observations and interviews) were also conducted in this study. The critical review examined the use of traditional local cultural elements in contemporary hotels. The observation studies identified the relationship between visitor behaviors and local cultural information within a range of global hotels. However, due to the fact that international tourists have different backgrounds and cultural knowledge, the international guests are not necessarily able to understand traditional local cultural information. In response to primary research findings, a novel design guideline will be created, this guideline is based on traditional design method and links between locations' culture and global hotel design style.

  • Dreaming in Malaysia
    Dreaming in Malaysia CHAPTER SIX: Dialectical Materialism Jay Jay had arrived in Nanjing in the late afternoon and checked into the Jinling Hotel. A woman in a blue business suit stood in the window looking out. Jay was sitting at the foot of the bed with a telephone next to him and an address book in his hand. He looked up from the address book at the woman and smiled. "Anything interesting?" He asked. She turned around and met his smile with her own. She shook her head and asked if he had any luck reaching his old friend at Nanjing University. Jay shook his head. Sulan Chen was a former classmate of Jay. She had attended Amherst College and graduated two years after him, in 1991. She had gone on to obtain an MBA at Wharton and was working as an economics consultant in Shanghai. She had come to Nanjing and met Jay at the airport. Jay checked his Rolex. "It's almost six. You want to get an early dinner?" "If you're buying." They had dinner at a small private restaurant, Swede and Kraut, owned and run by a foreign couple that Jay had met on a previous trip to Nanjing. They had Italian pasta and talked about old friends, shared experiences in college, and the future. Sulan was optimistic about eventually owning her own consulting firm. She believed that working for an American firm in Shanghai gave her excellent experience and, more importantly, good contacts to create her own business in the future. "What about your future, Jay? What are your plans?" Sulan asked, twirling Italian sphagetti on her fork.
