Paperbark tree

Even common trees are amazing enough, but some trees are just spectacular, fascinating and visually stunning whether by their sheer size, age or shape or through mysterious properties they seem to possess.
Paperbark trees can grow to be a very large tree in its native habitat in China. The common name "paperbark" refers to the fact that the tree's bark peels away from the trunk, an ornamental attribute valued by gardeners. Big and old their bark resembles tan colored paper.
Not only is the Paperbark Tree exquisitely beautiful, but it is also a rare Chinese species.

Slices of Chinese Life

Bamboo is a bountiful grass used throughout China.
Relying mainly on simple, traditional means for transportation over short distances, people in Zhujiajiao Ancient Town, one of China's old and very famous water towns, one hour away from ultra modern, booming Shanghai, still carry their heavy loads on bamboo sticks balanced across their shoulders.
But no matter how heavy the load is ... the friendly smile on their faces cannot be missed.

Yuanjin Chanyuan Temple - Zhu Jia Jiao Ancient Town

Most of the historical buildings now standing in Zhujiajiao Ancient Town near Shanghai, China, were completed in the early 1900s, with some dating back to Ming and Qing dynasties. These buildings in this historic watertown can be divided into four major groups: religious buildings including temples, cathedrals and churches; civilian residences,commercial buildings and public buildings.
Yuanjin Chanyuan - also called Niannian Miao -, a Buddhist Temple at the cross between Caogang River and Pearl Stream, was constructed in 1341. It holds a statue of the Holy Mother of Chenzhou, therefore, it is also named the Empress' Temple. The temple is renowned for its Buddha statues, paintings and handwriting by famous chinese writers.

Zhujiajiao - A Glimpse of Ancient Yangtze Delta Life

The Yangtze River, the Chinese call it the Chang Jiang (Changjiang) - the Long River, is famous for its magnificent gorges depicted on many Chinese scrolls. But along the banks of the third-longest river in the world are also primitive rural towns, grim concrete cities, and green terraced farms - all the elements that form China's backbone. The Yangtze River ends its 4,000 mile journey at the port city of Shanghai, where it empties into the China Sea.
Millennium-old Zhujiajiao water town, the Venice of Shanghai, offers a glimpse into the ancient Yangtze Delta life. An hour's drive from the People's Square in downtown Shanghai, the 1,000-year-old town, the 'Pearl Stream' by the lakeside of Dianshan Lake, is built around Dianpu Creek, a branch of the Huangpu River, in the south of the Yangtze River. The ancient, historical waterside town with its picturesque waterways, arched bridges, ancient architectural structures and old stone paved streets is a charming place to visit.

Pearl Stream River Blues - Zhujiajiao near Shanghai

An ancient township with white walls and gray-tiled houses built on water southwest of Shanghai - this is Zhujiaji Ancient Town, sometimes called 'Pearl Stream.
Being one of the Yangtze River Delta Water Towns Zhujiaji was one of the largest commercial centers on the lower reaches of the Yangtze river during the Ming and Qing Dynasties (1368-1911). That explains why there are so many buildings in the style of both eras.
The river quietly reflects the white walls, gray-tiled houses, bridges and the passing boats.
Visiting Zhujiaji means visiting a township back in the last century. Its peace and tranquility puts the mind at ease.

Ward off evil spirits

Evil spirits. Do they exist? Many people believe they do.
In China the belief in the supernatural power of rocks, that they protect, can heal, or provide wealth, goes back beyond recorded history. A huge, often very special rock denies evil and destructive agents and bad vibes access to the house, and those who put up one of these rocks outside their front door are protected all the time.
Evil spirits can enter in our world through many open doors. That's why rocks have been used in chinese protective magic since ancient times to keep evil of all types away from the home and protect the house and everyone in it.

Pudong - Epitome of Shanghai's Modernization

One of our biggest misconceptions about China is that it is a "third-world" country.
One look at Pudong, Shanghai's newest commercial district, erases this misconception. The truly amazing thing is that just twenty years ago this part of the city was all farmland.
Talk about progress!

The Bund - More than Shanghai's most beautiful landmark

The Bund is an epitome of Shanghai's history and it symbolizes Shanghai. It got its name from a desolate beach outside the old Shanghai City.
Between 1840 into the 1930's, many foreign businesses snatched this area to establish concessions, banks, headquarters, consul houses and so on. Hence, Shanghai, China, a small seaside town one hundred years ago, became the largest city in Asia. It also earned the reputation of "The Oriental Wall Street".
Looking at the Bund's historic buildings visitors can still feel the prosperity of the old Shanghai.

Shanghai's Bund is back to its best

If the building zone on the Bund, Shanghai, China, would be a gallery, the rest of the Bund would be a showroom.
When the sun rises in the east, the Bund is a place where people do exercises. During daytime, the old buildings blend beautifully with the scenery of the Huangpu River and the new Pudong area accross the river. When evening comes the Bund is bathed in city lights. A spectacular scene.
The Bund is like "an exhibition of buildings". Though mostly designed by foreign architects during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when overseas powers dominated Shanghai, the Bund’s allure is enduring.
