(回程客量理想)(新年風雨飄搖) 城巴 CTB E- #8177 PL9540 @ 592S 銅鑼灣（摩頓台）至 海怡半島
#回程二車 #客量不俗 #不經海怡路 #朦朧但不美的街道 #溶雨到就快廢左條片 #係咁focus落玻璃度 #一年後冷清得可憐的老銅 #超強轉彎輪胎摩擦聲 #明白為何路線焦人問津 #過於平淡沒特別 #慢駛養生系列 #維園年宵極寬敞 #無精神追8800同妖二后 #剪片剪到凌晨5點先瞓10點去拜年 #巧遇8802 #過氣中的廢青

07:21 超強轉彎輪胎摩擦
如果大家細心留意上一段片的話，#8177 就是上一片段的#8395 入總站時，差一點便撞到的車輛。有別於往銅鑼灣方向，回程前往海怡半島的車輛是每20分鐘一班直至凌晨3點。
理所當然的不會乘坐原車回海怡半島，便等候多廿分鐘乘搭較為舊款的#8177。期間亦到了年宵市場逛逛，途中亦看見不少巴士迷在拍攝新年特別路線的巴士照片，可是我沒加入他們，始終我是拍片為主，和時間有點緊絀。
觀察兩班592S的客量，大多乘客都在年宵市場購買完桃花和其他賀年禮品，然後坐車回家。兩班都有40多人上車，表現理想。加上有不少乘客詢問車長N72在哪乘搭，看來年宵還能給市民出外夜間消費的少量誘因。
儘管這班次的行車表現不算突出，走線與原本592線大致相同，只是不經海怡路。車輛的行車聲音還算動聽，及助我完成了拍攝這路線的任務。雖然看見#8800 行走N307和知道稍後再行走N681，妖二后AVBML2行走N680，如此特別的車輛我還是沒有再多的力氣拍攝了，精神還是留給拜年吧。(加上馬鞍山區接觸武漢病毒的殘餘物機會甚高，如此低抵抗力的軀殼還是不要冒風險了。)
If you pay attention to the last video, #8177 appeared in the last clip of #8395, the vehicle that almost causing a crash when entering the terminal. Different from the direction of Causeway Bay, the vehicles returning to the South Horizon departs every 20 minutes until 3 am.
As a matter of fact, I will not take the original car to return to the South Horizon, and thus waited a few more minutes to take the older #8177. Went to the Lunar New Year Fair, seeing many bus fans taking photos of buses on the New Year's special route, but I didn’t join them as I took videos mainly, and the time was a little tight.
Observing the number of passengers in the two departure of 592S, most of the passengers bought peach blossoms and other Chinese New Year gifts at the Lunar New Year Fair, and then returned home by bus. More than 40 people got on the bus for both shifts, which were a good sign. Coupled with a lot of passengers asking where route N72 is, it seems that the Lunar New Year Festival could give the citizens a small incentive to spend at night.
Although the driving performance of this trip was not outstanding, and the route is roughly the same as the original 592 except that it does not pass Hoi Yi Road, the driving sound of the vehicle was pretty good and helped me complete the task of filming this route. Although I saw #8800 walking N307 and knowing that it will walk N681 later, the AVBML2 walked on N680, I don’t have much energy to shoot such a special vehicle. Thanks but no thanks. (In addition, Ma On Shan District has a high chance of being exposed to the remnants of Wuhan virus. Such a low-resistance body should not take risks.)

History of China
Chinese civilization originated in various regional centers along both the Yellow River and the Yangtze River valleys in the Neolithic era, but the Yellow River is said to be the cradle of Chinese civilization. With thousands of years of continuous history, China is one of the world's oldest civilizations. The written history of China can be found as early as the Shang dynasty , although ancient historical texts such as the Records of the Grand Historian and Bamboo Annals assert the existence of a Xia dynasty before the Shang. Much of Chinese culture, literature and philosophy further developed during the Zhou dynasty .

History of China
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The earliest known written records of the history of China date from as early as 1250 BC, from the Shang dynasty (c. 1600–1046 BC). Ancient historical texts such as the Records of the Grand Historian (c. 100 BC) and the Bamboo Annals (296 BC) describe a Xia dynasty (c. 2070–1600 BC) before the Shang, but no writing is known from the period, and Shang writings do not indicate the existence of the Xia. The Shang ruled in the Yellow River valley, which is commonly held to be the cradle of Chinese civilization. However, Neolithic civilizations originated at various cultural centers along both the Yellow River and Yangtze River. These Yellow River and Yangtze civilizations arose millennia before the Shang. With thousands of years of continuous history, China is one of the world's oldest civilizations, and is regarded as one of the cradles of civilization.The Zhou dynasty (1046–256 BC) supplanted the Shang, and introduced the concept of the Mandate of Heaven to justify their rule. The central Zhou government began to weaken due to external and internal pressures in the 8th century BC, and the country eventually splintered into smaller states during the Spring and Autumn period. These states became independent and warred with one another in the following Warring States period. Much of traditional Chinese culture, literature and philosophy first developed during those troubled times.
In 221 BC Qin Shi Huang conquered the various warring states and created for himself the title of Huangdi or emperor of the Qin, marking the beginning of imperial China. However, the oppressive government fell soon after his death, and was supplanted by the longer lived Han dynasty (206 BC–220 AD). Successive dynasties developed bureaucratic systems that enabled the emperor to control vast territories directly. In the 21 centuries from 206 BC until AD 1912, routine administrative tasks were handled by a special elite of scholar-officials. Young men, well-versed in calligraphy, history, literature, and philosophy, were carefully selected through difficult government examinations. China's last dynasty was the Qing (1644–1912), which was replaced by the Republic of China in 1912, and in the mainland by the People's Republic of China in 1949, resulting in two de facto states claiming to be the legitimate government of all China.
Chinese history has alternated between periods of political unity and peace, and periods of war and failed statehood – the most recent being the Chinese Civil War (1927–1949). China was occasionally dominated by steppe peoples, most of whom were eventually assimilated into the Han Chinese culture and population. Between eras of multiple kingdoms and warlordism, Chinese dynasties have ruled parts or all of China; in some eras control stretched as far as Xinjiang and Tibet, as at present. Traditional culture, and influences from other parts of Asia and the Western world (carried by waves of immigration, cultural assimilation, expansion, and foreign contact), form the basis of the modern culture of China.
Christchurch
Christchurch (/ˈkraɪstʃɜrtʃ/; Māori: Ōtautahi) is the largest city in the South Island of New Zealand, and the country's third-most populous urban area. It lies one third of the way down the South Island's east coast, just north of Banks Peninsula which itself, since 2006, lies within the formal limits of Christchurch. The population of Christchurch City at the 5 March 2013 census was 341,469.
The city was named by the Canterbury Association, which settled the surrounding province of Canterbury. The name of Christchurch was agreed on at the first meeting of the association on 27 March 1848. It was suggested by John Robert Godley, who had attended Christ Church, Oxford. Some early writers called the town Christ Church, but it was recorded as Christchurch in the minutes of the management committee of the association. Christchurch became a city by Royal Charter on 31 July 1856, making it officially the oldest established city in New Zealand.

SUMMARY
=======
Christchurch (; Māori: Ōtautahi) is the largest city in the South Island of New Zealand and the seat of the Canterbury Region. The Christchurch urban area lies on the South Island's east coast, just north of Banks Peninsula. It is home to 404,500 residents, making it New Zealand's third-most populous city behind Auckland and Wellington. The Avon River flows through the centre of the city, with an urban park located along its banks.
Archaeological evidence has indicated that people first settled in the Christchurch area in about 1250. Christchurch became a city by Royal Charter on 31 July 1856, making it officially the oldest established city in New Zealand. The Canterbury Association, which settled the Canterbury Plains, named the city after Christ Church, Oxford. The new settlement was laid out in a grid pattern centred on Cathedral Square; during the 19th century there were few barriers to the rapid growth of the urban area, except for the Pacific to the east and the Port Hills to the south.
Agriculture is the historic mainstay of Christchurch's economy. The early presence of the University of Canterbury and the heritage of the city's academic institutions in association with local businesses has fostered a number of technology-based industries. Christchurch is one of five 'gateway cities' for Antarctic exploration, hosting Antarctic support bases for several nations.The city suffered a series of earthquakes between September 2010 and January 2012, with the most destructive of them occurring at 12.51 p.m. on Tuesday, 22 February 2011, in which 185 people were killed and thousands of buildings across the city collapsed or suffered severe damage. By late 2013, 1,500 buildings in the city had been demolished, leading to an ongoing recovery and rebuilding project.
