Its goals are to help expand the knowledge and understanding of contemporary China in Britain, Europe and worldwide, to help build a more informed dialogue between China and the UK and Europe, and to contribute to government and business strategies. Executive Summary 1. China has dazzled the world by putting on a performance of truly Olympic proportions at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The opening and closing ceremonies were spectacular, stunning and unparalleled. 80 world leaders attended the opening ceremony, a record in the Games’ history. China’s gold medal tally of 51 was the highest. Even its Olympic Village won a gold award. 2. More significantly, the Games showcased China’s socio­economic achievements and cemented its status as an important player on the world stage. China awed the world with its strong state capacity and organizational skills, abundant resources and talents, rich and vibrant cultural traditions as well as intellectual prowess. China’s model of development was somewhat vindicated by the Games. 3. To soothe external concerns with its growing stature, China used the Games as a platform to convey a message of peace and reiterate its harmonious world vision.

  • A Guide to the Mammals of Beijing Last Update 11 December 2020
    Birding Beijing A Guide to the Mammals of Beijing Last update 11 December 2020 Terry Townshend Cover photo: Tolai Hare (Terry Townshend) A GUIDE TO THE MAMMALS OF BEIJING Introduction This guide has been collated to help residents and visitors to Beijing interested in specifically looking for mammals and/or identifying any species they record through casual observations. Given the lack of english-language resources and data this guide is certainly not comprehensive and reflects only a partial summary of the mammals in the capital. At the moment it includes information about only some of the orders and families. For example, mice, rats, voles, shrews, moles and bats are not included; as information is discovered or made available, the guide will be updated to rectify as many of these omissions as possible. Please contact Birding Beijing if you can help improve the information contained in this guide in any way. Individual sightings of any mammal in Beijing are also of interest. Please send any details, including species, location, date and time via email to [email protected] . Thank you. Format The list of mammals follows the order of “A Guide to the Mammals of China” by Andrew T Smith and Yan Xie, the best reference guide to mammals in China. The format includes English name, scientific name, Chinese name and ‘pinyin’ (the Romanisation of Chinese characters based on their pronunciation). Photos are included where available together with a short paragraph about the status in Beijing. A GUIDE TO THE MAMMALS OF BEIJING The Mammals Pere David’s Rock Squirrel ‒ Sciurotamias davidianus ‒ 岩松鼠 ‒ Yansongshu Common in mountainous areas such as Fangshan, Huairou, Mentougou and Yanqing Districts.

    2019 International Conference on Computer Science, Communications and Big Data (CSCBD 2019) ISBN: 978-1-60595-626-8 Semantic Analysis of Tourism Vocabulary Based on Similar Words Calculation 1 2 Hui PENG and Hong-yan PAN 1School of Tourism Sciences, Beijing International Studies University, Beijing, China 2Lingjiu Science and Technology Company, Beijing, China Keywords: Tourism data mining, Similar words, Semantics, Semantic diagram. Abstract. Tourism data mining is the process of abstracting data relations from a huge number of tourism data. It can discover the implicit knowledge and rules which hidden in data. The discovery of the semantic relation between tourism words is the important content in tourism data mining. The classical similar words calculation model skip-gram in natural language processing area is introduced in the paper. The part of speech is not considered in skip-gram so when the similar words located closely in a sentence the model cannot identify them accurately. So we provide the model of skip-gram with Chinese Part of Speech—POS-skip-gram. With the help of this model and the tourism data from elong and ctrip website, we have established the semantic relations map of tourism words. The map can be the basis of tourism data mining. Introduction The computation of similar words in the field of computer can be used to mine the semantic relationship between words in an application field. At present, there are two main methods for calculating similar words: dictionary-based method and statistics-based method. For the dictionary-based method, in the calculation of Chinese similar words, synonym word forest [1] and Hownet[2] can be used to obtain synonyms of target words.

APPROVED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE THESIS COMMITTEE: Thomas M. Poulsen, Chair Martha A. Works This thesis, utilizing data obtained through the author's working experience and on extensive academic investigation, aims to establish and analyze the locational deficiency of some 100 foreign tourist hotels in Beijing and its origin. To do so, an optimal hotel location is first determined by analysis of social, economic, cultural and environmental features of Beijing in relation to the tourism industry. Specifically, a standard package tour program of Beijing is established and then analyzed in spatial and 2 temporal terms, the result of which is further mapped by using a weighted mean center technique.
