    Working Group I Contribution to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report First Lead Author Meeting Guangzhou, China, 25-29 June 2018 PARTICIPANT INFORMATION Host Country China, officially the People's Republic of China (PRC), is a unitary sovereign state in East Asia and the world's most populous country, with a population of around 1.404 billion. Covering approximately 9,600,000 square kilometers, it is the third - or fourth-largest country by total area, depending on the source consulted. It exercises jurisdiction over 22 provinces, five autonomous regions, four direct- controlled municipalities (Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Chongqing), and the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau. The official language spoken is Chinese. Hosting City - Guangzhou Guangzhou, located at the flourish Pearl River Delta area, is the central city of South China. As the capital of Guangdong Province, Guangzhou is one of the most important cities in China with a population of about 10 million, covering an area of 7400 square kilometers. Once upon a time five celestial beings in colorful robes, each riding a colored goat holding an ear of grain in its mouth came down to Guangzhou. So Guangzhou is known as the Goat City because of this legend. 1 Meeting Venue The meeting will be held in the Guangzhou Dongfang Hotel.

  • A Model Layout Region Optimization for Feeder Buses of Rail Transit
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences 43 ( 2012 ) 773 – 780 8th International Conference on Traffic and Transportation Studies Changsha, China, August 1–3, 2012 A Model Layout Region Optimization for Feeder Buses of Rail Transit Yucong Hua, Qi Zhanga, Weiping Wangb,* a School of Civil Engineering and Transportation, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou 510640, China b Dongguan Geographic Information & Urban Planning Research Center, Dongguan 523129, China Abstract This paper analyses the characteristics of urban rail transit and conventional buses and then expands on the necessity of combining them. Based on previous studies, a method of laying region and route of urban rail transit feeder buses is proposed. According to the definition of marginal trip distance which is the boundary of choosing a direct bus or rail-feeder bus (transfer is considered here) to destination, the influence of service level on passenger’s choosing behavior is combined with the generalized trip cost in the indirect gravitation-regions of urban rail transit. On this basis, a model for layout region of feeder buses is constructed and an algorithm is proposed. Finally, a numerical example of the joining routine layout between urban rail transit and conventional buses in Baiyun District, Guangzhou City, China is presented to evaluate the model. The result shows that the model with high accuracy is easy to apply, and is the important basis for laying design of feeder buses. © 20122012 PublishedPublished by by Elsevier Elsevier B.V. Ltd.

  • Shangxiajiu Shopping Street
    Shangxiajiu Shopping Street [History of Xiguan]— [The Xiguan Shopping Arcades]— [Delicious Food of Guangzhou and Xiguan]—[Features of Xiguan] [History of Xiguan] The Shangxiajiu Shopping Street is located in the Liwan District, one of the four downtown districts of Guangzhou. For the last hundreds of years, the district has always been the busiest section of the town. However, until the 7th century during the Tang Dynasty (618 -907 AD), this place had been but a stretch of marshland with crisscrossing ditches and brooks on the north bank of the Pearl River. In 526 AD, when the Indian prince Dharma sailed east across the Indian Ocean and arrived at Guangzhou to propagate Chan Buddhism, here was the very place where he first went ashore. This Indian prince set up a hut on the bank of the river to preach Buddhist doctrine, which was gradually extended into the present-day Hualin Temple. Now the place around the temple is still called Xi Lai Chu Di, meaning” The First Landing Field when coming from the West”. Prior to the Qing Dynasty, the Liwan District lay outside the west gate of the city walls, and so the area is commonly known as Xiguan, meaning “Western Outskirts “in English. During the Ming Dynasty between the 14th and 16th centuries, Guangzhou became China’s only trading port that was opened to foreign countries and, down to the Qing Dynasty several hundred years ago, many businessmen made great fortune from trades. These millionaires were fed up with the bustle of the heavily inhabited city center and had their houses built in this area one after another, so the district gradually developed into a new residential and business quarter.

  • A Survey on Foreign Tourists' English Translation of Guangdong Tourism Images
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, October 2019, Vol. 9, No. 10, 1056-1060 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2019.10.007 D DAVID PUBLISHING A Survey on Foreign Tourists’ English Translation of Guangdong Tourism Images CHEN Ying-xi South China Business College Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, Guangzhou, China Metaphor, constituting culture as well as inheriting one, is a way that human beings perceive the world. The study of cognitive metaphor theory in translation illustrates the process how the people construct psychological images from one culture to another, from one language to another. A survey on Chinese to English translation has been conducted among foreigners to see their intuitive understandings of some Guangdong tourism images. The results found out three different familiarity levels of these tourism images and the English translations from the viewpoint of the foreigners. Translation can be done without understanding the actual meanings, and understanding can occur without being able to translate. Keyword: foreign tourists, Guangdong tourism images, metaphor, translation Introduction In trans-cultural communication, understanding each other refers to understanding different cultures and their experiences. It is important to realize and respect the differences among backgrounds, cultures, values, and so on. We live in a world of metaphor. Metaphorical imagination is a crucial skill when creating tacit agreements and communicating non-shared experiences (Lakoff & Johnson, 2015, p. 202). Metaphor is a linguistic phenomenon, but more importantly, a thinking mode. When doing translations from one culture to another, the factor of cognition should be considered (Chen, 2019, pp. 26-27, 35). Cognitive Metaphor and Translation Metaphor translation converts the literal meanings from one language to another.
