Dalian, beautiful city in China
- 2 341 visits

There are so many amazing places in China that is easy to find some "rankings" on internet about the most beautiful cities in China. Personally, even though I visited some 30 chinese cities until now, I can't say if I prefer Hangzhou or Xiamen or Beijing or Suzhou or Xi'an or Dalian. They are all amazing, as well as many others. The difference in all of them makes China. And like I read somewhere: "China is not a country, is a different world.". But Dalian is referred in a lot of those ranki…
Nanjing and Yangzhou
- 1 909 visits

This is my 3rd Chinese National Holiday in People's Republic of China. This year, I went with her to Nanjing and Yangzhou. Two wonderful chinese cities. I published some photos here and here . Yangzhou is another great city of China. The city was founded 26 centuries ago, with its oldest known name being Kuang-ling. In the year 590, Kuang-ling began to be called Yangzhou, which was the traditional name of the entire southeastern part of China. Beginning in the 7th century, Yangzhou…
China will never bow to foreign pressure
- 1 864 visits

I never was a big fan of journalism (or of the business of journalism). It's "amazing" what words can do to distort unsure minds. It's "amazing" how it's possible to lie without showing it's a lie. Xīzàng (Tibet) is a good example. I was always afraid about this "reform and opening-up" of China, that's for sure. But it's nice to hear this from the president of this country. -- President Hu Jintao said today that China would adhere to its own social system and development path and never bow…

Ancient town of Shanghai, Qibao
- 1 559 visits

Yesterday i visited the Shanghai's ancient town of Qibao. At the entrace there was a sign that said: "If you want to see 10 years of Shanghai you should see Pudong, if you want to see 100 years of Shanghai you should see the Bund, if you want to see 1000 years of Shanghai you should see Qibao." I published the photos of this little trip and created this album.

Xi'an, the eternal city of China
- 917 visits

As one of the oldest cities in Chinese history, Xi'an is one of the ancient capitals of China because it has been the capital (under various names) of some of the most important dynasties in Chinese history, including the Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties. This Chinese city has more than 3100 years of history and that fact makes this city even more interesting. Nowadays is the capital of Shaanxi province. The Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses (兵马俑 - bīngmǎ yǒng) are absolutely amazing and…
