La ciudad tiene una antigüedad de tres mil años aunque sólo cuenta con mil años de existencia como capital imperial o real. Su principal atractivo es haber sabido combinar su cultura milenaria con los ritmos de la modernidad, permitiendo la convivencia de culturas de diversas nacionalidades y épocas. Como capital, es el centro desde donde se dirigen todos los engranajes de la política china. En su área hay más de 2.600 templos y monasterios, más de 50 emplazamientos con ruinas de antiguas culturas y 24 entidades de protección estatal, dada su importancia como patrimonio cultural. En ella encontrará decenas de monumentos, palacios y templos famosos en todo el mundo, que destacan por su antigüedad y grandiosidad convirtiéndose en el principal punto de mira de todo visitante. Beijing es también un agradable lugar para el turista, con todos los elementos de una gran ciudad, además de ser limpia y acogedora. http://www.travelview.es Página 5 China - Regiones y Provincias Pekín Sitúese en Pekín La ciudad gigante Pekín se abre a los ojos del turista como una gran metrópoli de más 16 millones de habitantes. No obstante, no resulta difícil orientarse en esta ciudad pues su estructura es cuadriculada al estilo de Manhattan. Es imprescindible visitar la Ciudad Prohibida o Palacio Imperial, la plaza de Tiananmen, el templo del Cielo (uno de los más de 2.600 que hay repartidos por toda la ciudad), entre otras construcciones, amén de sus más de cincuenta museos. Beijing es la capital de China. La llamada capital del norte ha dominado este país asiático desde tiempos inmemoriales. Beijing se encuentra ubicada en el norte del país, extendiéndose hacia el sur hasta el río Amarillo (Huang He). En los últimos años Beijing se ha convertido en una ciudad moderna, con rascacielos, centros comerciales y numerosos pasos elevados. Aun así, todavía conserva zonas históricas como sus característicos hutong, laberintos de calles estrechas donde se centra gran parte de la vida de la capital china. La ciudad de Beijing se divide en seis distritos alrededor de la Ciudad Prohibida. El barrio de Dongcheng es el centro de Beijing y alberga algunos de los más importantes puntos de interés, como la ya mencionada Ciudad Prohibida, la Plaza de Tiananmen o el Mausoleo de Mao. Al noreste de Dongcheng se extiende el distrito de North Chaoyang con su intensa vida nocturna y sus numerosos centros comerciales como el Lufthansa Center Youyi Shopping City. Tampoco se puede dejar de visitar la villa olímpica, edificada para albergar los pasados Juegos Olímpicos. Al sur se encuentra South Chaoyang, un barrio con varios centros comerciales y galerías de arte. En esta área se ha desarrollado el distrito financiero de Beijing y una arquitectura de rascacielos, con edificios tan espectaculares como el CCTV Building. Al sur del centro de la ciudad se sitúa el barrio de Chongwen. Esta zona es famosa por albergar algunos de los monumentos más importantes de la época Ming, como el Templo del Cielo o el Parque de las Murallas de la Ciudad Ming. Justo a lado de Chongwen se encuentra el barrio de Xuanwu, famosos pos sus hutong. Al norte de Xuanwu se extiende el distrito de Xicheng. En esta zona de Beijing se encuentra el famoso parque de Behiai. Más al norte se ubica el distrito de Haidian, lugar donde se encuentra el Palacio de Verano o el Jardín Botánico de Beijing. Una buena forma de moverse por Beijing es hacerlo a través de su línea de metro. http://www.travelview.es Página 6 Aeropuerto de Pekín Beijing Capital International Airport Teléfono: +86 (010) 6456 3220 | +86 (010) 6456 4247 | +86 (010) 6456 3604 El aeropuerto Internacional de Beijing está situado a 20 Km al noreste de Beijing.

    Chapter 7 Olympic Cities Chapter 7 Olympic Cities 173 Section I Host City — Beijing Beijing, the host city of the Games of the XXIX Olympiad, will also host the 13th Paralympic Games. In the year 2008, Olympic volunteers, as ambassadors of Beijing, will meet new friends from throughout the world. The Chinese people are eager for our guests to learn about our city and the people who live here. I. Brief Information of Beijing Beijing, abbreviated“ JING”, is the capital of the People’s Republic of China and the center of the nation's political, cultural and international exchanges. It is a famous city with a long history and splendid culture. Some 500,000 years ago, Peking Man, one of our forefathers, lived in the Zhoukoudian area of Beijing. The earliest name of Beijing 174 Manual for Beijing Olympic Volunteers found in historical records is“JI”. In the eleventh century the state of JI was subordinate to the XI ZHOU Dynasty. In the period of“ CHUN QIU” (about 770 B.C. to 477 B.C.), the state of YAN conquered JI, moving its capital to the city of JI. In the year 938 B.C., Beijing was the capital of the LIAO Dynasty (ruling the northern part of China at the time), and for more than 800 years, the city became the capital of the Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. The People’s Republic of China was established on October 1, 1949, and Beijing became the capital of this new nation. Beijing covers more than 16,000 square kilometers and has 16 subordinate districts (Dongcheng, Xicheng, Chongwen, Xuanwu, Chaoyang, Haidian, Fengtai, Shijingshan, Mentougou, Fangshan, Tongzhou, Shunyi, Daxing, Pinggu, Changping and Huairou) and 2 counties (Miyun and Yanqing).

  • In Pursuit of Islamic “Authenticity”: Localizing Muslim Identity on China's Peripheries Lesley Turnbull, New York Universi
    In Pursuit of Islamic “Authenticity”: Localizing Muslim Identity on China’s Peripheries Lesley Turnbull, New York University Abstract In this ethnographic sketch, I analyze the complex processes of Sino-Islamic identity formation by examining the variety and diversity of locally produced “authenticity,” situated within a global understanding of Islam. Even within a single province, among a single official minzu (nationality) that People’s Republic of China propaganda, media, and scholarship often construct as a unified, static group, localized practices and processes of identity formation are remarkably diverse. This article investigates how trans/national discourses and practices of Islamic authenticity are localized within two specific field sites: the provincial capital of Kunming and the rural Muslim enclave of Shadian. For the purposes of this article, I focus primarily on how life is temporally and spatially structured, both in everyday practice and in imaginings of one’s place in history, modernity, the Muslim world, and the Chinese state. By setting out details of the daily lives of two Hui Muslim women, I aim to elucidate how temporal and spatial structures of life, which are tied to urban or rural location, reflect and shape local identity formation. I argue that as actors involved in their own self-production, Hui Muslims in Kunming and Shadian negotiated, appropriated, and contested both monolithic notions of Islam and the official state- propagated minzu classificatory system, producing their own versions of authentic Hui Muslim identities. What constituted authentic Hui Muslim identity depended to a great extent on the residence of the individual. Keywords: Chinese Muslims, Hui, identity, modernity, trans/nationalism, comparative ethnography “We Huizu have a genetic link to the Quran, so we are Muslims whether or not we practice the teachings of Islam.” —Mr.

  • Growth and Decline of Muslim Hui Enclaves in Beijing
    EG1402.fm Page 104 Thursday, June 21, 2007 12:59 PM Growth and Decline of Muslim Hui Enclaves in Beijing Wenfei Wang, Shangyi Zhou, and C. Cindy Fan1 Abstract: The Hui people are a distinct ethnic group in China in terms of their diet and Islamic religion. In this paper, we examine the divergent residential and economic develop- ment of Niujie and Madian, two Hui enclaves in the city of Beijing. Our analysis is based on archival and historical materials, census data, and information collected from recent field work. We show that in addition to social perspectives, geographic factors—location relative to the northward urban expansion of Beijing, and the character of urban administrative geog- raphy in China—are important for understanding the evolution of ethnic enclaves. Journal of Economic Literature, Classification Numbers: O10, I31, J15. 3 figures, 2 tables, 60 refer- ences. INTRODUCTION esearch on ethnic enclaves has focused on their residential and economic functions and Ron the social explanations for their existence and persistence. Most studies do not address the role of geography or the evolution of ethnic enclaves, including their decline. In this paper, we examine Niujie and Madian, two Muslim Hui enclaves in Beijing, their his- tory, and recent divergent paths of development. While Niujie continues to thrive as a major residential area of the Hui people in Beijing and as a prominent supplier of Hui foods and services for the entire city, both the Islamic character and the proportion of Hui residents in Madian have declined. We argue that Madian’s location with respect to recent urban expan- sion in Beijing and the administrative geography of the area have contributed to the enclave’s decline.

  • Shanghai, China Overview Introduction
    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.

  • An Ancient Mosque in Ningbo, China “Historical and Architectural Study”
    JOURNAL OF ISLAMIC ARCHITECTURE P-ISSN: 2086-2636 E-ISSN: 2356-4644 Journal Home Page: http://ejournal.uin-malang.ac.id/index.php/JIA AN ANCIENT MOSQUE IN NINGBO, CHINA “HISTORICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL STUDY” |Received December 13th 2016 | Accepted April 4th 2017| Available online June 15th 2017| | DOI http://dx.doi.org/10.18860/jia.v4i3.3851 | Hamada M. Hagras ABSTRACT Faculty of Archaeology, Fayoum University, Fayoum, Egypt With the rise of Tang dynasty (618–907), Ningbo was an important [email protected] commercial city on the Chinese eastern coast. Arab merchants had an important role in trade relations between China and the West. Ningbo mosque was initially built in 1003 during Northern Song period by Muslims traders who had migrated from Arab lands to settle in China. Through ongoing research of representative Muslim architecture, such as Chinese Mosques, this paper seeks to shed light on the artistic features of this mosque.
