National Flag of The People's Republic of China
by xuessium
The national flag of the People's Republic of China is the five-star red flag. The red color of the flag is the symbol of the revolution, signifying that the political power of the People's Republic of China is achieved through bloodshed and lives laid down by countless revolutionary martyrs who marched forward wave upon wave in the heroic struggles for the revolution. In the upper-left corner of the flag there are five-pointed yellow stars, of which the big one represents the Communist Party of China and the four small ones the people of all ethnic groups of the country. One point of the big star points right up the flag and of the four small ones each has a point pointing towards the centre of the big star. This shows that the Chinese Communist Party is the force at the core of the leadership of the Chinese people of all ethnic groups who unite closely as one round the Party. With the color of the stars in yellow this means the great cause of socialism has a bright future. With the flag-staff painted white, that is to suggest flawless purity and loftiness."
Sports Bar?
by justagirlinasia about Green Bamboo
After a couple of days in Shanghai, I was yearning for a place that's not so chinese. (But it looks like you can't escape from the dice rolling whichever club you're in) This is a pretty neat joint. Pool tables, Darts, table soccer... beer and finger food.
21th century version of elegant Shanghai style
by angelochka about 881 South Beauty
The restaurant has many glass walls looking over the garden, spacious. Interestingly, the building was built around an existing tree! The tree is covered by glass walls and comes out of the roof. it's work of japanese designer Takashi Sugimoto, his aim was to create there while dining a feeling of being surrounded by nature in all seasons, apart glass he's using stone and wood ,and as a result-light, airy, beautiful place, where you can relax while enjoying your meal traditions of sichuan, cantonese and jiangnan cuisines, but in contemporary imterpretation
Wuzhen-the last resting-on-water town in china!
by violett
Wuzhen, well-known as "the town of fish, rice, and silk.", lies between Shanghai and Hangzhou, two famous tourist cities. So we took one afternoon to see it. We took a boat, and many old people lived really there till now. Their life style is very traditional and simple. The buildings and bridges are very particular. And I love the many museen and workshops there, such as: hundred beds museum, woodcarving museum, and the Drugstore, Silk Store.
