    Beijing Streetscape

    2017年6月14日, 中国 ⋅ 🌙 32 °C

    Whilst touring China I learnt about their famed local cuisine especially “Peking Duck” by watching some of chefs in action.
    They use special wood to cook the duck in clay ovens so that the smoke infuses the meat very subtly. The dish is famous from Beijing (Peking) that has been prepared since the imperial era. The meat is characterized by its thin, crisp skin, with authentic versions of the dish serving mostly the skin and little meat, sliced in front of the diners by the cook. Ducks bred specially for the dish are slaughtered after 65 days and seasoned before being roasted in a closed or hung oven. The meat is often eaten with spring onion, cucumber and sweet bean sauce with pancakes rolled around the fillings. Sometimes pickled radish is also inside, and other sauces (like hoisin sauce) can be used.もっと詳しく

    Kunming Lake

    2017年6月14日, 中国 ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

    Kunming Lake is a man-made lake. Its predecessors were called Wengshan (Jar Hill) Pond and Xihu Lake. They were reservoirs which had been used as sources of water both for the city and irrigation of fields over a period of 3,500 years. Guo Shoujing, a famous astronomer and engineer in his time, developed it into a reservoir for the capital of the Yuan Dynasty in 1291. The conversion of the area into an imperial garden was commissioned by the Qianlong Emperor with the work being carried out between 1750 and 1764. In the course of creating the gardens, the lake area was extended by a workforce of almost 10,000 laborers.

    In the year 1990 and 1991, the Beijing Municipal Government undertook the first dredging of the lake in 240 years. A total of 652,600 cubic metres (853,600 cu yd) of sludge were removed in the work. 205 Japanese bombs dropped during the Sino-Japanese War were also found.    もっと詳しく

    Summer Palace (cont'd)

    2017年6月14日, 中国 ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    Met this amazing Chinese local who was wearing a medal and very proud of it indeed. The biggest issue was that none of us could work out what it represented as no one spoke English :).
    The summer palace gardens are exquisite and large with a big lake in the middle of them.
    Longevity Hill is about 60 m (200 ft) high and has many buildings positioned in sequence. The front hill is rich with splendid halls and pavilions, while the back hill, in sharp contrast, is quiet with natural beauty. The central Kunming Lake, covering 2.2 square kilometres (540 acres), was entirely man-made and the excavated soil was used to build Longevity Hill.

    In December 1998, UNESCO included the Summer Palace on its World Heritage List. It declared the Summer Palace "a masterpiece of Chinese landscape garden design. The natural landscape of hills and open water is combined with artificial features such as pavilions, halls, palaces, temples and bridges to form a harmonious ensemble of outstanding aesthetic value".    もっと詳しく

    Summer Palace (cont'd)

    2017年6月14日, 中国 ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    More photos of the Summer Palace. It is curious to me as to how the Chinese Government justify the maintenance of the palace. Is it because the palace is a world heritage listed site or because it is a reminder of the previous privileged class structure before the communist regime took over or just because it represents a significant part of Chinese history.
    It is an amazing expanse of palaces and servants quarters.    もっと詳しく

    The Palace Museum (cont'd)

    2017年6月14日, 中国 ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    It's home to over 1.8 million pieces of art, mostly from the imperial collection of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The 20th century saw its expansion through new acquisitions, transfers from other museums, and new archaeological discoveries.
    According to the Beijing Evening Post, the museum has seen more than 17 million visitors in 2018, which would make it the world's most visited museum. It has an average of 15 million visitors annually since 2012. Due to this increased pressure, the management has set a daily limit for visitors of 80,000 since 2015 to protect the ancient structure and the experience.    もっと詳しく

    Beijing

    2017年6月13日, 中国 ⋅ 🌙 25 °C

    Beijing, China’s sprawling capital, has history stretching back 3 millennia. Yet it’s known as much for modern architecture as its ancient sites such as the grand Forbidden City complex, the imperial palace during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Nearby, the massive Tiananmen Square pedestrian plaza is the site of Mao Zedong’s mausoleum and the National Museum of China, displaying a vast collection of cultural relics.
    We were very fortunate because when we arrived there was minimal pollution over the entire time we stayed...quite hot but relatively clean air.    もっと詳しく

    Shanghai

    2017年6月13日, 中国 ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    More sights of Shanghai and some proletariat avant-garde sculpture :).
    The western influence in Shanghai is quite prominent and must have been a fine balancing act by the government of the day who have progressively relaxed their tough communist stand to become a hard left socialist government more in step with our progressive world.もっと詳しく

    Shanghai Boulevarde

    2017年6月12日, 中国 ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    After dinner we walked along the river on the famous boulevard to observe more of the night skyline. Shanghai is such a contrast to the other cities in China as it represents the economic way forward for the country yet unfortunately it is not possible to remove the subtle yet constant presence of the government and its control over people’s lives.
    Alas it is the same the world over however some are more draconian than others and in Australia we haven’t be thankful for our freedom.    もっと詳しく

    Drinks & Dinner

    2017年6月12日, 中国 ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    We decided to spend an evening having drinks before going out to eat at one of Shanghai’s better restaurants. They specialized in Peking Duck and so I obliged them and ordered it...lots of it. It was also fascinating to see them cook the duck in the traditional ovens and with the traditional scented timber that adds to the flavor.
    The restaurant also allowed you to watch the chefs in action which was also interesting.    もっと詳しく

    Shanghai French Quarter

    2017年6月12日, 中国 ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    As with most cities and counties of the world there are strong influences from other countries either through the advent of trade, war or immigration.
    The French quarter is such a place where the architecture and landscaping has very French mood to it.
    In a funny way it reminded me of a more stylish aspect of Shanghai China that wasn’t associated with the crowded, loud and bustling other parts of the country.
    The shops in this section were more stylish and sophisticated as well.    もっと詳しく

    Silk Factory

    2017年6月12日, 中国 ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    It’s seems that silk and Asian countries are aligned maybe it’s the climate...who knows but they’re into it.
    It was incredible how strong and flexible the silk worm silk is. We proved this by stretching out a small square of silk to become approximately the size of a sheet.
    Extraordinary.    もっと詳しく
