Dating from Pi Jiang Garden of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Suzhou’s art of gardening has undergone a history of 1,500 years. There were once over 200 gardens in the city, and 69 of them are still in good preservation today. The concept of Suzhou classical gardens has gone beyond the city limits, since it generally refers to all those private gardens built in the regions south of the Yangtze.

In Taoist philosophy and the refinement of culture underlies the theme of the garden. Hills and waters, flowers and trees, pavilions, terraces, towers and halls constitute the basic garden elements, while the prominent tone is expressed in the dark colour of rooftiles, the grey of bricks, and chestnut brown of wooden pillars.

Its human interest also lies in that the architect, philosopher, poet, painter, and common folk can all find in it the idea, the flavour, the lines and the rhythm. The unfolding of the garden vistas is the verisimitude of a landscape scroll. When enjoying tea, poem, flower arrangement or playing musical instrument in the garden, one gains the most natural inspiration. To those tourists desiring to understand China, Suzhou garden is the best museum.

Tramcar will reappear in Shanghai

China Travelling:


Chinanews, Shanghai, May 14 – Some tramcars might be able to run in the Zhangjiang area in Pudong, Shanghai, which might bring a nostalgic sentiment for local residents.
In 1908, the first tramcar in Shanghai was put into operation. At that time, it ran from the Hongkou park to Jing'an Temple. Even now, many old local residents in Shanghai still remember such tramcars, which the Shanghai people called "dang dang che", or "clanging cars".
Experts say that tramcars are quite common in cities such as Berlin, Birmingham, Geneva, and Paris. At present, such tramcars are often made with high technologies and are driven by advanced locomotives.
Experts at Tongji University say that currently, autos running on Shanghai’s city rail transportation travel at a speed of 35 kilometers an hour, and public buses travel at a speed of 15 kilometers an hour. Tramcars can travel at a speed of 25-35 kilometers an hour. They go fast and can usually arrive on time. They also have a large holding capacity and need less investment. Compared with public buses, tramcars send out less emission into the air.
Officials from the Pudong Development Zone said they would designate some stops in Zhangjiang, Lujiazui and Sanlin, for tramcars to operate during the trial period.
