A straight run (light traffic) to or from the airport by car or shuttle bus takes 45 minutes. There is also a 10 RMB toll fee to get onto the airport expressway. A taxi costs about ¥120 one-way, shuttle bus ¥25. By Train Hefei has two major train stations. Hefei South Railway station receives most of the high speed trains (G or D categories) from all of China. It is situated in a newly developed zone for South of the city centre and many city buses serve this station. Hefei Railway station is in the Northern part of the city. Few high speed trains arrive here, however, all of the conventional trains are operated through this station. A taxi from Hefei South to the city centre will be less than ¥20. Expect to queue for the taxi. Changing between these two stations with a taxi will cost less than ¥30, expect 40 minutes in normal traffic conditions. By taxi HEFEI ORIENTATION 3 Green, blue or orange: These taxis are metered and start at ¥8. DiDi is the most commonly used mode of transport in Hefei. It is cheaper than taking a taxi but requires either WeChat or Alipay to order a DiDi. Also the order site is ONLY written in Mandarin. Legally, every taxi must have the driver's picture and licence number displayed in a plastic plate affixed to the dashboard. If you have any major problems with a taxi driver, discretely write down this number if you need to make a complaint and ask for a fa piao (receipt) at the end of your journey. Around the city area in Hefei, you can reasonably expect to pay between ¥10-30. In Hefei, a driver might occasionally try to pick up an extra passenger and carry them with you. i.e. pooling. They sometimes try this on foreigners who don't know how to object. Make it known if you don't want this to happen. By bus Public buses are the dominant mode of public transport in Hefei. The central hub is in Municipal Square. A single bus fare to anywhere costs ¥1 or ¥2. All bus routes, schedules, and announcements are in Chinese. But don't let this put you off. An excellent way to navigate the Hefei bus system is to use Maps app. on your mobile phone. You can search bus routes, find bus numbers/stops in English and pinyin. The results are very accurate. Beware that in peak hours buses are absolutely crammed to the limit. There is no such thing as a "full" Hefei bus; the driver will take more people on.

  • Warriors As the Feminised Other
    Warriors as the Feminised Other The study of male heroes in Chinese action cinema from 2000 to 2009 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chinese Studies at the University of Canterbury by Yunxiang Chen University of Canterbury 2011 i Abstract ―Flowery boys‖ (花样少年) – when this phrase is applied to attractive young men it is now often considered as a compliment. This research sets out to study the feminisation phenomena in the representation of warriors in Chinese language films from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China made in the first decade of the new millennium (2000-2009), as these three regions are now often packaged together as a pan-unity of the Chinese cultural realm. The foci of this study are on the investigations of the warriors as the feminised Other from two aspects: their bodies as spectacles and the manifestation of feminine characteristics in the male warriors. This study aims to detect what lies underneath the beautiful masquerade of the warriors as the Other through comprehensive analyses of the representations of feminised warriors and comparison with their female counterparts. It aims to test the hypothesis that gender identities are inventory categories transformed by and with changing historical context. Simultaneously, it is a project to study how Chinese traditional values and postmodern metrosexual culture interacted to formulate Chinese contemporary masculinity. It is also a project to search for a cultural nationalism presented in these films with the examination of gender politics hidden in these feminisation phenomena. With Laura Mulvey‘s theory of the gaze as a starting point, this research reconsiders the power relationship between the viewing subject and the spectacle to study the possibility of multiple gaze as well as the power of spectacle.

    GES1005/SSA1208 Temple Visit Report Bao Gong Temple 包公庙 Yuan Yongqing Janice Ng Su Li Li Peng Bei Ding ZhongNi Tutorial Group: D1 App Profile ID:224 1. Introduction Our group was assigned to visit Bao Gong Temple, which is part of the Jalan Kayu Joint Temple located at 70 Sengkang West Avenue. Despite the small scale, it is regarded as a holy place by numerous worshippers and it is the only temple named after Bao Gong among all the Singapore temples consecrating him. The Bao Gong Temple Council have dedicated considerable efforts to public welfare which attracted more devotees. They even supervised a publication of The Book for the Treasures of Singapore Bao Gong Temple (《新加坡包公庙典藏书》) in 2015 to further spread Bao Gong culture and to document the history of the temple. A free PDF version can be found on the temple website https://www.singaporebaogongtemple.com. We would like to express our gratitude here to the Chief of general affairs, Master Chen Yucheng (H/P: 82288478) for his generous help throughout our visit. 2. The Folk Belief in Bao Gong The belief of Bao Gong was derived from the folklores of Bao Zheng (999-1062). Born in Hefei, Bao Zheng started rendering government service in 1037 and gained continuous promotion from the then highest ruler, Emperor Renzong of Song in the next 26 years. Among all his political achievements, he was most well-known for the impartial adjudication when he served as the mayor of Kaifeng (the capital of Northern Song). Remediating corruption and impeaching guilty nobles, Bao Zheng always upheld the interests of the masses, was loyal to the nation and disciplined himself.
