1. Shanghai Maglev Train

0 Comments »

The magnetic-levitation train ride from the international airport to the city is the perfect metaphor for Shanghai. The train reaches speeds of 430 km/hr (267 miles/hr), and the trip takes less than eight minutes. You'll be feeling a bit whiplashed, but that sense of disorientation hints at the fast-paced city that lies ahead. As of now, the Maglev doesn't extend to the rest of the Shanghai — the train line was built mostly as a prestige project to impress visitors, not to service locals — so the airport run is the one place you can enjoy the ride. Single-ride tickets cost 50 yuan.





2. Fuxing Park


Unlike many Chinese cities that appear to have forgotten that people occasionally like to perambulate, Shanghai is made for walking. Start your own walk in Fuxing Park smack-dab in the colonial-era French Concession, with its shady sycamore trees and stuccoed villas. In the park, you'll find grannies in pajamas belting out Chinese opera, and Mao-suited men taking their caged birds for a stroll. Around the corner at 7 Xiangshan Road is the former residence of Sun Yat-sen, modern China's founding father. His house, which contains period furniture and books, reminds you of what Shanghai felt like during its first heyday. Afterward, wander the nearby lanes — past elegant mansions now subdivided into several families' homes, complete with outdoor wok stations and billows of hanging laundry — to get a sense of street-level Shanghai today.

3. Shanghai Museum








Given its much-vaunted 5,000 years of history, China's museums are, in general, a sorry lot. Exhibits are badly lighted, the English information often a jumble of incomprehensible nouns. (In truth, some of China's finest artwork was carted off by the departing Nationalists in 1949, when they quit the mainland for Taiwan. But that still doesn't excuse the pathetic state in which most of the country's national treasures are displayed.) The Shanghai Museum, located on People's Square, is a welcome antidote to all that's dark and dingy. You don't — and shouldn't — try to digest it all in one go. My suggestion: Pick one section, whether it's calligraphy or jades or ceramics, and dig in. Personally, I find the bronzes strangely fascinating; in fact, the shape of the museum itself mimics that of an ancient bronze cauldron.

Tengchong famed with its terrestial heat where dozens of vocalnos have activities there in the early history. Nowdays, they are either extinct or dormant. What we can feel it terrestial heat directly is the thermal spring. The springs breaks out of rocks at a temperature of 95 degree centigrade, or even more. You can take a bath in the famous Rehai(Hot Sea) Park several miles away from the downtown area. It's of reasonable price, 40RMB/Hour for 2 or 3 people, a large marble bathrub in a single room. The spring contains much sulphur which benefits our skin and body very much. One thing you may not familiar is that skin feels a bit slippery with the sulphur. Remember, it's good to yourself. A funny experience.


This is my beautiful mother standing near a hot spring.




























local fruits are cheap and juicy!!
you have to have a taste!!













you can also boil the eggs or peanuts in the hot spring!!
it is really funny,isn't it?

This is one of the antique world, as a result of river and around the village, named "Shun River," after Blair as "Heshun", southwest China's ancient "Silk Road" on the very edge of a unique ancient town .

Construction on the mountain out of power, Heshun direction together to form a clan, the family name in order to build the wall, magnificent, magnificent classical buildings, is also a rendering, Confucianism has also cultivated the elegant atmosphere of the humanistic spirit.



This is a beautiful traditional village close to Tengchong, apparently for retired people although I did see many young families living here. It is promoted as a tourist site so there is an entry charge of Y80. However, if you get a minibus from Tengchong it drops you off past the town gates. The village is built on a small hillock.
