Ancient Chinese Sculpture
by marsistanbul
The Chinese sculptural art can be traced back to the prehistoric stone carving and pottery making.The large numbers of pottery and wooden funeral figurines of human beings and animals of the Warring States period and Qin and Han dynasties(5th century BC-AD 220) exemplified the native Chinese sculptural art.Along with the introduction of Buddhism in the turn of Western and Eastern Han dynasties.Buddhist sculptures and became more expressive and nationalized in Northern Qi and Northern Zhou dynasties(550-581).The Tand sculptures,nouished by the cream both of Indian and native sculptural arts,turned out very distinguished,such as the polychrome glazed pottery figurines which vividly portrayed the social life of the time.The Song statues,mainly of painted clay and wood,were executed more realistically.How ever,Buddhist sculptures lost their vitality in the Yuan,Ming,and Qing dynasties(1279-1911),when traditional Chinese crafts of decorative carving made remarkable achievements.

Jinmao Tower: Have a drink on the 54th floor
by Museeuw
If I'm not mistaken the Jinmao Tower on Pudong has 88 floors, and the Grand Hyatt hotel starts from the 53th floor onwards. It's definitely worth it to go to the 54th floor and have a drink in the Grand Café of the hotel. When we were there it was really foggy outside, but still the view was amazing. If it's nice weather, it must be amazing.

Pudong not only has the third highest tower in the world, the Oriental Pearl, but also the world's third highest building: the 420m-high, Jinmao Building. There is an observation deck on the 88th floor.

We were in China twice, both times with an organised trip although that is not our favourite way of travelling. We chose to do it that way because we had limited time and wanted to see as much as possible.
For more photos and travellogues please look at my CHINA page as I have put a lot on there. Thanks
More to come....
