Enkel specerijen, zijde en prachtige kunstvoorwerpen kwamen uit dit geheimzinnig land. Reizen door China is dan ook een onderdompeling in een vreemde, maar boeiende wereld vol verrassingen en tegenstellingen. Terwijl er op het platteland nog een eeuwenoude Chinese cultuur bewaard werd, ontpopten de verstedelijkte gebieden zich tot consumptiemaatschappijen met bloeiende economieën. REISBESCHRIJVING DAG 1 - Vlucht naar PEKING DAG 2 - PEKING - MUTIANYU Aankomst en onthaal op de luchthaven door uw gids. Vertrek naar Mutianyu, een riit van ca.1u30 via de nieuwe autosnelweg.

Na wat rust maakt u een prachtige wandeling op de Muur. DAG 3 - MUTIANYU - PEKING Na een ochtendwandeling over een verlaten stuk van de Grote Muur en een lunch in Brickyard Eco Retreat vertrekt u naar het Zomerpaleis in Peking.

Daarna bezoekt u het Park van de Steenkoolheuvel, waar u van het uitzicht over heel Peking kunt genieten. Terugrit en overnachting in het hotel. DAG 5 - PEKING - PINGYAO Bezoek aan de Lama Tempel, gewijd aan Confucius. Transfer naar het station waar u de hogesnelheidstrein neemt naar Pingyao. Aankomst en intrek in het hotel. DAG 6 - PINGYAO - XI’AN Wandeling in het oude centrum van Pingyao, erkend Werelderfgoed van Unesco waar veel gebouwen dateren uit de Ming en Qing periode. Bezoek aan de tempel Shuanglin Si. Transfer naar het station waar u de hogesnelheidstrein neemt naar Xi’an. Aankomst en transfer naar het hotel. DAG 7 - XI'AN Na het ontbijt bezoek aan het graf van de eerste keizer Qin Shi Huangdi en zijn leger van 6000 krijgers in terracotta. Wandeling doorheen de oude wijken van Xi’an en bezoek aan de Grote Moskee. DAG 8 - XI'AN - TUNXI - HUANGSHAN Wandeling op de indrukwekkende vestingmuren en bezoek aan een jade-atelier.

Ontdekking van enkele typische dorpen om te eindigen in het meer toeristische Hongcun, dat samen met het dorp Xidi erkend is als Unesco-werelderfgoed.

  • Conservation in China Issue, Spring 2016
    SPRING 2016 CONSERVATION IN CHINA A Note from the Director For over twenty-five years, it has been the Getty Conservation Institute’s great privilege to work with colleagues in China engaged in the conservation of cultural heritage. During this quarter century and more of professional engagement, China has undergone tremendous changes in its social, economic, and cultural life—changes that have included significant advance- ments in the conservation field. In this period of transformation, many Chinese cultural heritage institutions and organizations have striven to establish clear priorities and to engage in significant projects designed to further conservation and management of their nation’s extraordinary cultural resources. We at the GCI have admiration and respect for both the progress and the vision represented in these efforts and are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the preservation of cultural heritage in China. The contents of this edition of Conservation Perspectives are a reflection of our activities in China and of the evolution of policies and methods in the work of Chinese conservation professionals and organizations. The feature article offers Photo: Anna Flavin, GCI a concise view of GCI involvement in several long-term conservation projects in China. Authored by Neville Agnew, Martha Demas, and Lorinda Wong— members of the Institute’s China team—the article describes Institute work at sites across the country, including the Imperial Mountain Resort at Chengde, the Yungang Grottoes, and, most extensively, the Mogao Grottoes. Integrated with much of this work has been our participation in the development of the China Principles, a set of national guide- lines for cultural heritage conservation and management that respect and reflect Chinese traditions and approaches to conservation.

  • Virtual Water Trade in the Service Sector: China's Inbound Tourism As
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article Virtual Water Trade in the Service Sector: China’s Inbound Tourism as a Case Study Yu Zhang 1,2 , Jin-he Zhang 2,3,* and Qing Tian 1 1 School of Geography and Tourism, Qufu Normal University, Rizhao 276826, China; [email protected] (Y.Z.); [email protected] (Q.T.) 2 Huangshan Park Ecosystem Observation and Research Station, Ministry of Education, Huangshan 245800, China 3 School of Geography and Ocean Science, Nanjing University, Nanjing 210023, China * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Research on virtual water and the water footprint is mainly focused on agriculture and industry, and less so on the service sector. The trade in products generates virtual water flow, as does the flow of people. The flow of international tourists will inevitably lead to the transfer and exchange of water resources embedded in the virtual form. This study takes China’s inbound tourism flow as the research object, from the perspective of the water footprint, in order to explore virtual water “exports” to the world. Based on kernel density estimation and ArcGIS spatial analysis, spatial- temporal evolution and structural difference were investigated. Virtual water “exports” showed an increasing trend. The kernel density estimation curves basically exhibited a “single peak” feature which indicated that virtual water “exports” from tourism were not significantly polarized in China. In terms of spatial evolution, this varied greatly at the provincial and regional level and Guangdong was always in the high value area. The south displayed greater values than the north, but this Citation: Zhang, Y.; Zhang, J.-h.; difference in provinces narrowed over the years.

  • Spatialpropertiesof Chinesehistorictownsusingspacesyntax
    COMPUTATIONALLY MAPPING SPATIAL PROPERTIES OF CHINESE HISTORIC TOWNS USING SPACE SYNTAX PAN LIAO1, NING GU2, CHRIS BRISBIN3, MATTHEW ROFE4 and SAHAR SOLTANI5 1,2,3,4,5School of Art, Architecture and Design, University of South Australia 1,5{pan.liao|sahar.soltani}@mymail.unisa.edu.au 2,3,4{ning.gu| chris.brisbin|matthew.rofe}@unisa.edu.au Abstract. Due to its geographic size and long cultural history of fluctuating borders, China has a large number of historic settlements; each with their own unique geometric, cultural, social, and spatial characteristics. Despite the various studies that have attempted to qualitatively describe the spatial properties of historic towns, there are limited attempts to understand the spatial qualities of these towns through a quantitative approach, such as space syntax. This paper proposes and demonstrates a computational approach based on space syntax to map spatial properties of these towns. Four spatial features are examined and evaluated to capture the spatial patterns of Chinese historic towns: (1) axiality, (2) curvature, (3) intelligibility, and (4) synergy. The approach has been applied to four typical towns in China: Pingyao, Lijiang, Kulangsu, and Wuzhen. This computational approach provides a new way to complement existing qualitative measures of understanding the urban form and use of historic towns, providing a powerful tool to support the development of policy affecting historic town design/planning, heritage conservation, and heritage tourism. Keywords. Chinese historic towns; spatial properties; space syntax. 1. Introduction ”[S]pace is not a background to human activity, but intrinsic to it ... space is first and foremost configurational.” (Hillier, 2014) Historic towns present a precious legacy for contemporary society that embodies how humans use the spaces enveloped within human settlements.
