China largest city: Shanghai Impression Part 1
Shanghai, a beautiful and vibrant international metropolis, is home to enriched human resources, amazing city landscape, bustling commercial street, and various folk customs, forming a unique city attraction.
Being the long corridor of Shanghai, the Bund always appears as a symbol of Shanghai and an epitome of Shanghai's modern history, which is a real portrayal of old Shanghai. Great changees have been taken plance in today's Shanghai, especially the rapidly-developed Pudong New Area. The changing Shanghai is becoming a window to showcase China's economic development after the reform and opening up.

Beijing Qianmen Street Tour
Qianmen Street runs south from Tiananmen Square, just along the Beijing central axis. It is one of the last remnants of the business centers of the old Beijing. It has been transformed into a modern commercial pedestrian street, the second walking street after Wangfujing Street in the downtown shopping district Beijing.
“The Ming and Qing Dynasties” Qianmen Street was burnt down to ashes in 1900 when the Allied Forces of the Eight Powers ransacked Beijing. Physically, there is nothing left for us to retrieve.
The present Qianmen Street has been rebuilt on the historical photos and the mould of the 1920s to 1930s. The 1.45-square kilometer area has been built into four zones for culture, food, shopping and entertainment. Trolley cars are back to transport and entertain tourists.
The area is home to 50 courtyards and hutongs listed as state-level heritage sites, as well as 80 famed shops that have been operating for over a century, such as the Liubiju sauce and pickle shop, Tongrentang drugstore, Ruifuxiang silk shop, Neiliansheng shoes store and Zhangyiyuan tea shop.
Visiting Tiger Hill in Suzhou, China
This is a slideshow of photographs I took when I visited Tiger Hill in Suzhou, China.
The area around Tiger Hill was so different from the urban landscape and sea of skyscrapers that surrounded the Suzhou that I first experienced when I arrived.

Shanghai Bund Info:
The Bund or Waitan (Chinese: 外滩, literally: 'Outer Beach') is a waterfront area in central Shanghai. The area centres on a section of Zhongshan Road (East No.1 Zhongshan Road) within the former Shanghai International Settlement, which runs along the western bank of the Huangpu River in the eastern part of Huangpu District. The area along the river faces the modern skyscrapers of Lujiazui in the Pudong District. The Bund usually refers to the buildings and wharves on this section of the road, as well as some adjacent areas. From the 1860s to the 1930s, it was the rich and powerful centre of the foreign establishment in Shanghai, operating as a legally protected treaty port.
The Shanghai Bund has dozens of historical buildings, lining the Huangpu River, that once housed numerous banks and trading houses from the United Kingdom, France, the United States, Italy, Russia, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, and Belgium, as well as the consulates of Russia and Britain, a newspaper, the Shanghai Club and the Masonic Club. The Bund lies north of the old, walled city of Shanghai. It was initially a British settlement; later the British and American settlements were combined in the International Settlement. Magnificent commercial buildings in the Beaux Arts style sprang up in the years around the turn of the 20th century as the Bund developed into a major financial centre of east Asia. Directly to the south, and just northeast of the old walled city, the former French Bund (the quai de France, part of the Shanghai French Concession) was of comparable size to the Bund but functioned more as a working harbourside.
By the 1940s, the Bund housed the headquarters of many, if not most, of the major financial institutions operating in China, including the big four national banks in the Republic of China era. However, with the Communist victory in the Chinese civil war, many of the financial institutions were moved out gradually in the 1950s, and the hotels and clubs closed or converted to other uses. The statues of colonial figures and foreign worthies which had dotted the riverside were also removed.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, with the thawing of economic policy in the People's Republic of China, buildings on the Bund were gradually returned to their former uses. Government institutions were moved out in favour of financial institutions, while hotels resumed trading as such. Also during this period, a series of floods caused by typhoons motivated the municipal government to construct a tall levee along the riverfront, with the result that the embankment now stands some 10 metres higher than street level. In the 1990s, Zhongshan Road (named after Sun Yat-sen), the road on which the Bund is centred, was widened to ten lanes. As a result, most of the parkland which had existed along the road disappeared. Also in this period, the ferry wharves connecting the Bund and Pudong, which had served the area's original purpose, were removed. A number of pleasure cruises still operate from some nearby wharves.
In the 1990s, the Shanghai government attempted to promote an extended concept of the Bund to boost tourism, and land value in nearby areas, as well as to reconcile the promotion of colonial relics with the Socialist ideology. In its expanded form, the term Bund (as New Bund or Northern Bund) was used to refer to areas south of the Yan'an Road, and a stretch of riverfront north of the Suzhou River (Zhabei). Such use of the term, however, remains rare outside of tourism literature.

Go Behind the Great Wall
Follow along as Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai guides you through the sights and sounds of China.
Float down the Haungpu River to Shanghai, one of China’s most modern and vibrant cities, and see historic Nanjing Road. Witness martial artistry in the gentle, fluid movements of tai chi and the agile acrobatics of the Peking Opera Company.
Scale the hauntingly beautiful Huangshan mountain range to the mythical Sea of Clouds, the inspiration of poets and painters for centuries. Then follow the Yangtze River to the water-bound city of Suzhou, dubbed “the Venice of the East” by Marco Polo.
There’s even more to savor: watch as regional delicacies are prepared on the spot at a busy night market in Xinjiang Province, and trek across the Gobi Desert on the ancient Silk Road to Inner Mongolia, where nomadic horsemen ride free. Enter the walls of Beijing’s impossibly vast Forbidden City, and explore the craggy formations of Shilin Stone Forest.
And thanks to spectacular wraparound Circle-Vision 360° cinematography, you'll feel as if you're really there!
Day 5 - Audi Q3 Trans China Tour 2011
Shanghai, the destination for the fourth stage. One of the world's glittering metropolises, boomtown and economic center, but also a party city and temple of luxury. It takes effort to make the right impression here -- like Audi with the Tour Terminal. The white sculpture, both stopover and starting point for the tour, stands directly on the Bund at the Huangpu River opposite the amazing Pudong skyline. Truly impressive imagery -- modern design in front of a picture postcard scene. The new drivers joining the Audi Q3 Trans China Tour are greeted at this distinctive location, and we bid farewell to the first wave.
Largely empty road -- today, too, the Trans China Tour proves the long-distance qualities of the Audi Q3.
China is an unbelievable time machine. The journey through a couple of centuries is compressed here to just a couple of hours. On this particular day, the participants in the Audi Q3 Trans China Tour are beamed back from the comforts of the 21st century to places that, in their simplicity, seem part of the 18th century. The time travel works in the other direction, too -- a few kilometers further and the modern day returns with its glass facades and Gucci shop windows.
That is China. It has many faces. The drivers on the Audi Q3 Trans China Tour have already experienced some of them during the first four stages. Noise and silence, frenetic bustle and fixed traditions, development and decline. But nothing irritates some visitors from the West more than the huge gap between modern and old, between rich and poor.
Yet this is completely normal for a land that, during the Cultural Revolution in the second half of the 20th century, catapulted itself almost back into the Stone Age. But, at the start of the 21st century, is emerging as a leading global power at virtually the speed of light. Or rather, is reclaiming its historically rightful place in the world, as the people here see it.
Today's stage is 435 kilometers long. It starts at the luxurious Zhongshan Golf Resort in Nanjing and leads initially along highway before heading onto narrow, winding, dusty country roads, past tiny villages where a family's own hens and small rice paddy are still the main source of income and sustenance. One hour later, however, we reach the very outskirts of the metro Shanghai area. It is at this point that we return to the 21st century, to the illuminated high-rises and cool bars, and finally once more to traffic congestion -- progress on fast-forward.
For the Audi Q3 this is certainly the perfect stage -- one that gives it the chance to display all its strengths. The new SUV with the four rings is compact and nimble for restricted city spaces, agile and commanding in the battle for the best space at the traffic lights, but also robust and comfortable for the poor roads through the villages. It offers plenty of space for long journeys, is versatile and solid. It seems on this tour as if the Q3 were built specifically for China's roads. In which case, we should expect big things from it -- especially here. The SUV segment is booming in China. An increasing number of women and young buyers are interested in it -- and the Audi Q3 will also be produced in China starting in 2012. It is surely capable of following in the footsteps of its big brother, the Audi Q5, which leads its market segment in China by a big margin.
Lunch today is served in the Deyi Lou Hot Pot Restaurant in Suzhou. Each guest receives a hot pot recessed into the table in front of him. In this variant of fondue, which has been around for at least 1,000 years, the pot is filled with a boiling meat or fish stock that is richly flavorful and generally very spicy. Meat, fish, soy, all kinds of vegetables, mushrooms -- almost everything can be cooked in this and it tastes wonderful.
Arrival in Shanghai, the city of trade, of wealth and of progress. The Audi Tour Terminal gleams in the sun, awaiting the drivers and vehicles on the Bund, the city's prestigious main boulevard. The Audi Q3 Trans China Tour is now 2,078 kilometers old and it is already time to say goodbye to the first group of participants.
Emanuele Pirro, five-time winner of the legendary Le Mans endurance race, has enjoyed the trip, I love this kind of road movie. And I have learned a little about the constantly changing and surprising faces of China's variety. The handover runs smoothly; the drivers for the next four days have arrived. Their destination is Shenzhen, with the first stage tomorrow heading for Hangzhou.

Walking The Bund (Day Time) / 外滩 / 外灘
The Bund or Waitan / 外滩 / 外灘 (literally: Outer Beach) is a waterfront area in central Shanghai (The word bund means an embankment or an embanked quay). The area centers on a section of Zhongshan Road (East-1 Zhongshan Road) within the former Shanghai International Settlement, which runs along the western bank of the Huangpu River in the eastern part of Huangpu District. The area along the river faces the modern skyscrapers of Lujiazui in the Pudong District. The Bund usually refers to the buildings and wharves on this section of the road, as well as some adjacent areas. It is one of the most famous tourist destinations in Shanghai. Building heights are restricted in the area.
The Bund stretches one mile (1.6 km) along the bank of the Huangpu River. Traditionally, the Bund begins at Yan'an Road (formerly Edward VII Avenue) in the south and ends at Waibaidu Bridge (formerly Garden Bridge) in the north, which crosses Suzhou Creek. The Bund houses 52 buildings of various architectural styles, generally Eclecticist, but with some buildings displaying predominantly Romanesque Revival, Gothic Revival, Renaissance Revival, Baroque Revival, Neo-Classical or Beaux-Arts styles, and a number in Art Deco style (Shanghai has one of the richest collections of Art Deco architectures in the world).
The Shanghai Bund has dozens of historical buildings, lining the Huangpu River, that once housed numerous banks and trading houses from the United Kingdom, France, the United States, Italy, Russia, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, and Belgium, as well as the consulates of Russia and Britain, a newspaper, the Shanghai Club and the Masonic Club.
