Massive upturned eaves - Yuyuan Garden Shanghai China
Huxinting Tea House
Beautiful buildings with massive upturned eaves dominate the Yu Garden skyline in Shanghai, China. Built between 1559 and 1577, this typical southern-style Chinese garden was destroyed several times and later restored to its former glory.
One defining feature of China's southern gardens is the carefully created sense of space within small confines using narrow lanes, strategically placed partitions and windows that provide frames for portrait views.

Qibao Ancient Town - A peek into the past of Shanghai
Shanghai's very own water town, Qibao Ancient Town, only 18 kilometers from downtown Shanghai, was built in the Five Dynasties Period around 1000 years ago.
To truly enjoy the old-style Chinese-feel of Qi Bao, grab yourself a bag of Qibao's famous juqibao fangzheng gao (a steamed pastry made of glutinous rice with sweet bean paste, best eaten hot) for breakfast, and step into the tranquility of a boat ride down the canals during the early morning hours.

Shanghai - Paris of the East
To accommodate an increasing density of occupants in the city of Shanghai in east China on the mouth of Yangtze River old towns are flattened for new high-rises and skyscrapers. With 22 million residents, there is little space for parks and green spaces, and all the high-density living contributes to China’s pollution problems.
Once known as the Paris of the East, Shanghai faces major dilemmas that approach the city as population and mass urbanization grows endlessly.

Traffic in Qibao - Shanghai's local ancient water town
While there are quite a few water towns in the greater Shanghai area, the closest one to central Shanghai and relatively within town, is Qibao.
Wide canals, picturesque Chinese houses, narrow bridges, bustling old shops and authentic chinese fishing boats ... this is Qi Bao, and it feels like being back in "Old" China again

Mao is in every Chinese pocket
China was the first country that developed paper currency (in the Tang Dynasty during the 7th century), and the perception of banknotes as money has evolved over time.
In 1023 the S'ung dynasty (Song dynasty) cautiously issued true-paper money, in small amounts in a limited area good for a specific time period. The notes would be redeemed after three years, to be replaced by new notes.
The most famous Chinese issuer of paper money was probably Kublai Khan, the Mongol who ruled the Chinese empire in the 13th century. Kublai Khan established currency credibility by decreeing that his paper money must be accepted by traders on pain of death. As further enforcment of his mandate, he confiscated all gold and silver, even if it was brought in by foreign traders. Marco Polo was impressed by the efficiency of the Chinese system, as he chronicles in his "The Travels of Marco Polo" ("Il Milione").
Today's Chinese currency is the "Renminbi" which translates to the "people's currency". The China dollar is made up of "yuan", which is often called "kuai", and "jiao" which is often called "mao".
And even in China it's the same old story when it comes to money: The rich want to keep the money while workers don't have enough of it.

Chinese Teapot - A symbol in itself
Tea itself is of Chinese origin, so is the use of teapots. However, the invention of teapots came at least 500 years after tea was first made to drink. It wasn't until the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) that the first teapots were created.
The most popular teapots in this time were produced in the YiXing region of China. They were made from purple clay, called "zisha clay", and are known to be of fine texture and high quality. It is said that, after using a Yixng tea pot for decades, you can brew tea simply by pouring boiling water into the pot.
In China, teapots have changed little. From their first introduction to the West in the late 1600's, Western teapots have undergone many transformations while Chinese ones have stayed the same. They are a symbol for purity of water and 'love pouring from heaven'.

Living the old Shanghai life
Shanghai, China is a fascinating ultra-modern city. At breathtaking speed it developed from a small port to an international metropolis and paradise for global adventurers. And although the Chinese government restricts the movement of its own people from the countryside to the cities as well as the number of babies a couple is allowed to raise Shanghai keeps growing and growing.
But life in the back alleys of Old Shanghai hasn't changed that much. The residents have not changed much either. You can see the drying clothes outside, little plants in front of the doors, the basins to wash the vegetables but also to do your toilet; in the windows sausages or fish are hanging to dry beside some socks or bras; fine hand made bird cages hang or stand in the windows ... a labyrinth of streets which are stuffed with peoples life.

China's latest craze - Dyeing pets
Just 10 years ago, dogs were still eaten in China's public restaurants and raised on farms for that purpose, and traditional Chinese medicine held that so-called "fragrant meat" from dogs could fortify one's health. Now, eating dog is viewed by many as an embarrassing reminder of a poorer time.
With more money to spend, Chinese pet owners have embraced dog-owning culture with a vengeance. Dogs are brought into restaurants, fussed over in public, dressed up in ridiculous outfits and their coats are dyed. The trend demonstrates how quickly and dramatically attitudes toward pets — particularly dogs — have changed in many parts of Asia.
The special dyes for dogs used are completely non toxic and not harmful to the animals, and this dog is unfazed by its new blue ears.

Wall Mural in Qibao - Shanghai - China
Wall mural paintings, based on the theme of Chinese history and traditional plays, have a long history in dynastic China. The earliest tomb frescos are from the Western Zhou period (11th century-771 BC). The art form advanced remarkably in the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220).
Many show honor guards, maidservants, and scenes of chinese feasts and hunts.
The art of wall mural paintings, artistic panoramas of Chinese culture, reached its first peak in terms of style, technique and subject matter in the Tang Dynasty, when China enjoyed national unity, economic prosperity, cultural advancement and increased exposure to foreign cultures.

Qibao - Shanghai's living fossil
Qibao Ancient Town is one of the oldest and most famous towns in China. With two rivers flowing through, Qibao Town enjoys great geographical advantages.
Each of the two waterways has its own special characteristics. Unlike some of the other water towns near Shanghai, these riverfronts tend to have a more relaxed feeling as they aren’t as touristy as the others.
Qibao is more than just a living fossil of ancient Chinese conurbation and urban planning. The old town with its narrow alleyways, arched bridges, and canals is one of the most important historical sites in Shanghai.

Each of the two waterways has its own special characteristics. Unlike some of the other water towns near Shanghai, these riverfronts tend to have a more relaxed feeling as they aren’t as touristy as the others.
Qibao is more than just a living fossil of ancient Chinese conurbation and urban planning. The old town with its narrow alleyways, arched bridges, and canals is one of the most important historical sites in Shanghai.

Bridge over the Tong - Qibao Water Village China
Located in the Jiang Nan region southwest Shanghai, about eighteen kilometers from downtown, Qibao (7 Treasures) Water Village is a typical waterfront ancient town with the style of the Ming (1368 - 1644) and Qing (1644 - 1911) Dynasties.
One of Qibao's three arched stone bridges crossing the river Tong is a good starting point to explore Qibao Ancient Town, its Jiangnan architecture (white houses with dark gray roofs) and small bridges and rivers.

Bells of the Orient
The earliest bell so far excavated in China is one which dates to the Longshan culture some five to six thousand years ago and was made of clay. It was unearthed near Xi'an in Shaanxi province. China was also one of the first countries in the world to cast bells made of bronze. The earliest Chinese bronze bells date back at least to the fourteenth century B.C. of the Shang dynasty. The Chinese also invented, developed and perfected tuned bells earlier than anyone else. By at least the 6th century B.C. sets of finely tuned bells were being produced and the Chinese even based their bulk measurements on the musical pitches of bells. From the Tang dynasty (618-906) onward, bell casting flourished and iron was also being used to make them.
China went on to produce a large number of bells. Thousands of bells still survive in China dating from the Tang, the Song (960- 1279), Yuan (1271-1368), Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties.
In China bells very rarely have internal clappers but are instead struck on the outside with a mallet or a hammer. They still play an important role as a warning system and to mark certain times of the day as well as in temples (Buddhism and Taoism).

Church of the Assumption of Mary - Qibao Shanghai
The ancient town of Qibao (Seven Treasures), China, is now swallowed up in Shanghai's urban development, but parts of the Qibao area still retain an old world charm.
In a back street the Qibao Catholic Church (Qibao TianzhuJiaolang) is to be found, with a working convent alongside. The church, originally known as the "Church of the Assumption of Mary", was first built in 1869, but the present structure dates from 1896, with the last changes made in 1929.

St Joseph holding Baby Jesus - Catholic Church Qibao China
The Christian faith has survived many difficult times in China. The surprising news is that the Church in China is growing. Chinese Catholic communities are very much alive in spite of all the oppression they have gone through.
However: People worship the same God the world over: Money. China's change from Marxist materialism to free-market consumerism and with it the change of attitudes and values may present the greatest challenge of all to China's Catholic Church.

Jesus is Chinese
After tens of years of research China’s famous scholar Professor Gong Yu Hai put forward a surprising discovery: Jesus is Chinese.
According to Professor Gong Yu Hai an old center empire existed on the earth many thousands of years ago. In this center empire Zhuan Xu was born in 2948 B.C. At the age of 30 Zhuan Xu wnet west to preach. The religion that Zhuan Xu set up is present Christianity. Zhuan Xu is Jesus’ prototype.
However, about A.D. One, fanatic religious reformers recomposed the old content and history of this Christianity doctrine which caused that present people not to know if Jesus really existed.
Professor Gong Yu Hai has published this special Chinese thesis to describe his findings in detail.
