The story of the concubine Wang Zhaojun, one of China's four historical beauties (along with Diao Chan, Xi Shi and Concubine Yang) is a Chinese morality tale of political alliance and sacrifice, a tale that, like much of Chinese past, has been obfuscated over time into numerous versions.

Shijiazhuang (石家庄) is the capital city of Hebei Province, located 280km (174 miles) southwest of Beijing in central Hebei. It is a major hub of the national railway network and is a fast-growing, prosperous city.

Shijiazhuang is the intersection of the Beijing-Guangzhou, Shijiazhuang -Dezhou, and Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan railway lines and one of the centers of communications in China. It is also known for its flourishing textile industry.

Shijiazhuang actually is a small village, No one could have predicted that this small, unknown village would have developed rapidly into the modern capital city of Hebei Province.

Nowadays it is the capital and main economic center of Hebei and a relatively important city in China. Shijiazhuang is the largest pharmarceutical base in China and is as well an important center in the textile, IT, manufacturing and chemical industries. In 2007, it was listed as one of the top 15 economic powers in China.

According to the latest census figures, Shijiazhuang has a population of 2.19 million in the city proper, with a further 7.4 million people living in its 20 affiliated counties.

Shijiazhuang Tourism and attractions

Shijiazhung is a young city in China. Although it's considered relatively young by Chinese standards, it has already made its mark in Chinese history. Xibaipo Village, located 80 kms outside of Shijiazhuang, was the northern base for Chairman Mao Zedong, the Red Army and the Communist Party.

Though it is a relatively young city, it is located on fertile land that boasts splendid cultural history. As such, Shijiazhuang is home to many significant cultural relics, such as the oldest stone-arch bridge in China, Zhaozhou Bridge, and one of China's three hanging temples Qiaoloudian Hall (Bridge-Tower Hall). Moreover, the grand Taihang Mountain, which lies to the west, provide charming natural scenery. Mt. Cangyan Scenic Area and Zhangshiyan Scenic Area also attract visitors from all over China and the world.

Approximately 50 kms. southwest of Shijiazhuang lies Cangyan Mountain with its beautiful scenery and rich Buddhist history dating back to the Sui Dynasty. The Longxing Monastery is another attraction that is located outside of the city (18 kms. north). Built during the Sui Dynasty, this large-scale monastery is considered one of the greatest Buddhist monuments of its time. Historically, the Monastery was visited by emperors and Buddhists still make pilgrimages to the temple. While in the area, visitors often check out Rongguo Mansion, known for its beautiful Qing Dynasty style architecture and décor.

Some of best Shijiazhuang attractions and sightseeing are listed here :

1. The Mausoleum of Martyrs in the North China Military Area.
This mausoleum is situated in the western suburbs of Shijiazhuang. The area, covering more than 200,000 square meters, is dotted with pine and cypress trees. More than seven hundred martyrs who laid down their lives for the cause of the liberation of China were buried here.

2. Zhaozhou Bridge
This bridge was built on the Jiaohe River about 2.5 kilometers south of Zhaoxian County, which was called Zhaozhou in ancient times. The bridge was constructed in A.D. 605 - 616. Designed by a well-known Chinese mason, Li Chun, it is made of stone, 50.82 meters long and 10 meters wide, with an unusual arch that is 7.23 meters high with a span of 37.35 meters. The stone railing and columns on the bridge were carved with beautiful dragon and phoenix designs. One of the earliest Chinese arch bridges with a long open-spandrel arch in the middle and two smaller arches on each side, this bridge occupies an important place in the history of Chinese bridge building and has been of interest to tourists and engineers alike.

3. Cangyan Mountain.
This mountain is situated 78 kilometers southwest of the city. With its pleasant weather and towering ancient trees, it is a popular mountain resort.
Dating from the Sui Dynasty more than 1,400 years ago, Cangyan resort boasts magnificent pavilions and monasteries, as well as an architecturally ingenious palace constructed between two sheer rocks high above a gorge.

4. Great Prosperity Monastery (Longxingsi).
This monastery, situated in Zhengding County of Hebei Province, dated from A.D 586 in the sixth year of the rule of emperor Kai of the Sui Dynasty. Its three-storied main building, the Great Benevolence Pavilion (Dabeige) has five eaves and contains a twenty-two-meter-high bronze statue of a Goddess of Mercy with forty-two arms. A collection of historical monuments, tablets, statues, and other relics of the Shijiazhuang area can also be found here.

Shijiazhuang Nightlife

Shijiazhuang is still a new and under development city in China. No really glamour nightlife can be found there. However, more and more leisure facilities such as bars, cafes and teahouses are being opened here one by one.

The downside to Shijiazhuang is the limited selection of international nightlife and dining options. If traditional northeastern food does not appeal to you, Shijiazhuang is probably not the best place to put down roots – you will likely run through the list of available international restaurants very quickly; but those who enjoy affordable, savory jiaozi, hotpot, and local dishes will find themselves awash in starch and veggies. Interestingly enough, there is a wider range of clubs and pubs than restaurants in Shijiazhuang. Sunflower Bar is home ground to the city's art scene, regularly hosting literature events, open mic poetry readings and cocktail hours. Swing by 70s' Bar for loud, unpretentious rock 'n' roll fun.

You can go to the theater for Hebei Bangzi Opera, or go to the art center for a concert, or go to bars, clubs, KTVs, or cafes, or go shopping at department stores, or try some Shijiazhuang snacks on the food street, or just stroll around the city to appreciate the beautiful night view of Shijiazhuang. All in all, the nightlife in Shijiazhuang will be absolutely diversified.

Zhengding is located about 15km (9 miles) north of Shijiazhuang and has been an important religious centre for more than 1,000 years, from - at least - the times of the Sui Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. It is the founding place of several major schools of Zen Buddhism and the noted temple of the Longxing Monastery and also home to four nice pagodas. It's easy to reach by taking a bus (No.201) from opposite Shijiazhuang Train Station.

Tomb of Norman Bethune .Norman Bethune (1890-1939) was born in Ontario, Canada and in 1938 travelled to Yan'an in the Shanbei region of Shaanxi province in China. There he joined the Chinese Communists led by Mao Zedong in their struggle against the Japanese in the Second Sino-Japanese War. Bethune performed emergency battlefield surgical operations on war casualties and established training for doctors, nurses and orderlies.

Railway station square at Shijiazhuang. Shijiazhuang is a transportation hub: it is at the intersection point of the Beijing-Guangzhou, Taiyuan-Dezhou, and Shuozhou-Huanghua railroads and many expressways, including the Beijing-Shenzhen and Taiyuan-Cangzhou Expressways.

The Revolutionary Martyrs' Mausoleum is located along the main east-west road called Zhongshan Xilu, to the west of the city centre. In its grounds is the tomb of Dr Norman Bethune who joined the Chinese Communists led by Mao Zedong in their struggle against the Japanese in the Second Sino-Japanese War. There's also a memorial hall and an exhibition hall on Bethune and an Indian doctor called Basu.

Mao Zedong Statue. It's located on the main east-west road called Zhongshan Donglu, just south of Chang'an Park.

Hebei Provincial Museum. This vast museum was closed when I visited in July 2008 which was a real shame as it's about the only thing worth visiting in the city. There were some new buildings being built behind the exisiting main museum building and the whole museum is set to re-open in 2010.

Chang'an Park. This large park is located in the city centre on the corner of Zhongshan Donglu and Jianshe Beidajie. The park features a large lake, bridges and pavilions. I came here in the afternoon after visiting Zhengding and sat by the lakes bank and a group of Chinese students came over to me and practiced their English with me.

Shijiazhuang is the perfect place for the small-city urbanite. Those who choose to live in Shijiazhuang reap the benefits of being a 3-hour train ride from Beijing while avoiding all the extortionist prices, crowding and traffic congestion of a megalopolis. Property and housing rentals are also markedly cheaper. If you choose to go through a rental agency, you can easily find large, 100sqm and above flats for as little as RMB2, 000 per month.

Shijiazhuang Nightlife. Shijiazhuang still a young city, so not so many nigthlife entertainment at the city.

Taiyuan Tourism

Taiyuan is an old city, a history of religion. Therefore, tourism in Taiyuan can not be seperated with Temples and Museum.

Several tourist attractions in and around Taiyuan include the Liu Xiang Lane, which contains ancient Chinese houses of important heritage, and several temples, such as the Chongshan Monastery, the Jinci Temple, the Twin Pagoda Temple, and the Shaunglin Monastery Longtan Park and Yinze Park are also popular tourist destinations.

This is the city's most attractive temple although the Shuangta Si (Twin-Pagoda Temple) has become a symbol of Taiyuan on account of its unique architecture. Another major attraction is the Tianlong Shan Stone Caves where magnificent sculptures dating from the Tang Dynasty (618-907) may be seen.

Taiyuan Shopping

Taiyuan Street is the commercial shopping area in Shenyang, it has department stores and restaurants, also other shops around it. People like to go there shopping or have a friend gathering lunch or dinner together, especially young people.

Taiyuan Street is one of Shenyang’s main commercial centers. During the day you have to swim through enormous crowds of people (although i suppose that won’t come as a surprise). Taiyuan Street itself is “pedestrian only” in its central section. Taiyuan Street, as well as the other streets in the area, are lined with both small shops and gigantic shopping malls. Here you can find just about every kind of product imaginable…cell phones, clothing, shoes, artwork, etc.

Recommended: Go to Pizza Hut or Europaer if you’re starving for authentic Western food after a long day of pushing through crowds and haggling prices.

Taiyuan Nightlife

Nightlife in Taiyuan has become more colourful and live since its fast growing economy. Taiyuan now has a good number of discotheques and nightclubs. Chinatown at 49 Bingzhou Beilu is reccommended by foreigners.

For nightlife in Taiyuan, try the Chinatown Disco (daily 8-12pm; 30 RMB) at 49 Bingzhou Bei Lu, not far from the intersection with Yingze Dajie. Don't let the unfortunate spelling mistake on the sign ("pisco") put you off, as this huge place is surprisingly slick for a provincial city, with western DJs and an impressive interior including a laser, a giant bat and a spacecraft hanging from the ceiling. The high entrance charge means the chic clientele is generally too cool to pay much attention to foreigners on the dance floor.

Zhengzhou China Industrial City Nightlife

2009-10-04T00:13:00.000-07:00

Zhenghzou (鄭州), or formerly called Zhengxian, is the capital city of Henan Province, China. Zhengzhou is located in the middle of China, about 760 km (about 472 miles) south of Beijing and 480 kilometers (about 298 miles) east of Xian.

Zhengzhou city now is so prosperous, as it will become a vital transportation hub, after the Longhai Railway (Lanzhou to Lianyungang) and Jingjiu Railway (Beijing to Kowloon) were completed.

zhenghou is not a tourism city, thought it is a industrial city, an example of a remarkably fast-changing city in China (without minor tourism clutter). The best known tourist attraction is the Shaolin Temple (少林寺), which is more than 50 miles southwest of Zhengzhou. Shaolin Temple is not only known as one of China's important Buddhist shrines, but also as the ancient center of Chinese kung-fu.

Zhenghou main attractions :

Points of interest include cultural sites like the Ancient Ruins of Dahe Village, Central Holy Temple, Northern Song Dynasty Imperial Tombs, North Wei Grotto Temple, the birthplace of China's forefather Emperor Huangdi, and the birthplace of the poet Dufu.

Scenic nature spots like Fuxi Mountain, Songshan Park, and Huancui Valley are also great places to get some fresh air and exercise while taking in the beauty and serenity of China's landscape.

Zhenghou has a lot of cultural and historical museum, as Zhengzhou was once the capital city of the Shang Dynasty, dating back to 16th century B.C.

Some historical places to visit are listed here :

1. Erqi (February 7) Memorial Tower. Museum inside a rather garish double pagoda that looms over February 7 Square. Inside there are exhibits explaining the city's development. edit

2. Henan Provincial Museum, Nongye Road (农业路; Nóngyèlù) (In the north part of the city). This monolithic pyramid-shaped museum is worth a visit. Learn about ancient civilizations in the area (most of which were not based in Zhengzhou, but nearby cities such as Kaifeng and Luoyang), and even see a dinosaur bone or two in the area. The museum is one of the three key museums in China along with one in Beijing. If you are into modern art, this is not the place for you. It generally has acceptable squat toilets on the first floor. There is an English audio tour you can rent, and there are cheapish lockers to store your stuff. Come to see old pottery from the Song dynasty, old bells, bronzes, things like that, but anything more recent does not have English captions. Across the street is a coffee house that makes ok tea and coffee for about ¥30 and has comfortable chairs. Free. edit

3. Henan Museum of Science and Technology. Fascinating insight into Chinese children's education. Play on crumbling science exhibits, gawk at the garish space tributes and meet local families. ¥5. edit

4. Shang Dynasty Wall. You can see remants of the wall in the east side of town. Be warned: these mounds are not terribly impressive. edit

5. Zhengzhou Zoo. More depressing than it is impressive in any way. Some of their imported animals include turkeys and coyotes which might be interesting for a local but hardly for a foreigner. If you generally enjoy zoos, you may very well walk away sad at how the animals are cared for, or not in this case. edit

6. Renmin Park (人民公园; Rénmíngōngyuán), Erqi Road. Has a theme park inside with a quaint Ferris Wheel that is worth riding, if only to forget, for a moment, that you are in Zhengzhou. edit

7. Century Park (Shirchiquanleyuan), (20-30 minutes away from the Erqi square). Another park worth going to. It is quite a huge amusement park

Zhengzhou Nightlife

Zhengzhou is a industry city, so the entertainment are suitable for workers and businessmen.The night view of the city is a sparkling one. You can hear the singing of the city at Er' qi Square with a music fountain and learn more about Chinese surname culture at Guangda Square as here is a hexahedral column standing 10 meters (about 33 feet) high upon which 114 Chinese surnames are carved.

The Lvcheng Square located in the Zhongyuan Lu is recommended where you can see the water screen film. In addition, discos, bars, clubs, cinemas and other entertainment venues will offer you plenty of enjoyment. There is a growing popularity for gyms and fitness centers among the people of Zhengzhou and more interesting is the fact that most locals like to participate in these healthy pursuits night.

Some of Zhengzhou Nightlife Bars, cafe, Nightclub which are recommended are listed here :

Taichung Night Bars Pubs and Markets

2009-09-07T20:41:00.000-07:00

Taichung (台中市 or Tai Zhong Shi) is the third largest city in Taiwan after Taipei and Kaohsiung. Taichung is located in west-central Taiwan with a population of just over one million people.

Taichung is a city with pleasant climate on the west coast of central Taiwan. The city is home to many manufacturers and in recent years has undergone a rapid growth of various cultural venues. Traffic in Taichung is better than in Kaohsiung or Taipei, though parking a car is still tricky.

Among the activities to catch when visiting Taichung: the world-class science museum and hiking in the nearby hills. There are also many famous night markets that provide night-time excitement.

In Taichung you you can enjoy delicious food and drink, and find cheap and interesting items for sale. These include the ChungHwa night market (中華夜市), the Feng-Chia university night market (逢甲夜市), the Tung-Hai university night market (東海夜市), and the Chung-Shiao night market (忠孝夜市)).

Taichung has so many temples, as any other cities in Taiwan. But temples in Taichung are extremely widely spreading, such as Confucius Temple, Martyr’s Shrine, Pao Hueh Temple, Cheng Huang Temple, Wan Chun Temple, Li Ancestral Shrine, Wen Chang Temple, Le Cheng Temple, and Wan He Temple.

How to access Taichung :

Arrive by air. Taichung does not have an international airport. However, it is only a short flight from all of Taiwan’s major cities. The airport is conveniently located a short taxi ride away from downtown.

Arrive by train. Taichung is a short ride from Taipei and is connected by high-speed and regular rail to all of Taiwan’s major cities.

Arrive by bus. Taichung is connected by both luxury and regular bus to all of Taiwan’s major cities. Taichung’s bus routes terminate both in the west end of the city and close to the train station. Visitors should pay attention to which station is indicated on their ticket.

Taichung Nightlife

Taichung has a huge KTVs where you can sing old classics, hip lounge bars, modern night clubs, beer houses and places that specialize in live music.

Some people may not too impressed by the night spots, but Taichung has many good restaurants. The best so far has been Smooth, which is the sister property of Fatty's. Both are owned and operated by a nice fellow named Hendrik Frijling and his wife. The address is No.1 Ching-Cheng Road, Lane 50, in Little Europe, which is directly across the street from the Evergreen Hotel. Phone number is 04-2319-4898.

There are places that can kept you awake are the Pig Pen in Chi Chi, and a place called Coyote Ugly in the Tiger City Mall. You will enjoy the live music joint called 99, and another one that was okay called Animal House, both on Hsiang Shang Road. Everything else was a flop.

Taichung bars, and Nightclub :

Pubs and restaurants are often two or three stories and the discos frequently large enough to conduct military maneuvers in. Even better, the prices make us up here in Taipei recall the 1980's - which goes a long way towards covering the cost of a hotel.

Like to start the evening at a quieter place with style or unique character? One great place to get started is La Bodega (3, JingCheng 2nd St; 04-2310-7006), a Spanish-run bar that is cozy and specialises in great snacks (Spanish Tapas) mixed with a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. If you like to sit outside, you can't go wrong with PJ's Cafe (23 DaYe Rd; 04- 2325-2457), with their pleasant indoor pub and a nice outdoor bistro area that is good for people-watching. Taichung even has an Irish bar in O'Chang's (Closed).

If you're feeling dressy or simply like a nice sofa, be sure to check out one of the many lounge bars in the city. Crystal (120-3 ZhongHua Rd Sec 2, B1; 04-2208-6206) and Escape (45-2, TaiZhongGang Rd Sec 2; 04-2328-0768) are both small, cozy and high-end establishments perfect for a date or meeting with friends. Liquid Lounge (98, ZhongMing S. Rd; 04-3601-9980) is classy and comfortable during the week, but frequently hosts the hottest parties in town during the weekend. Also, be sure to check out J&J Jeay & Jazz Bar (91, DaYe Rd; 04-2310-0136).

No night out is complete without some dancing. Taichung's answer to MoS is Mint 27 (Taichung Central Dept. Store, 10F - 186, FuXing Rd, Sec 4; 04-3608-0599), a hotspot that features the best local DJs and performers (like Wu Bai and Power Station) as well as many international acts. A popular night spot for the over-25 set is the Pig Pen (41, DaGuan Rd; 04- 2383-4456), with a British-themed pub downstairs and a disco upstairs.

To wind down at a late night spot, and if burgers in a friendly attractive bar sounds good then be sure to drop by Peggy's Circle Bar (16-1, JingCheng 1st St; 04-2329-3998). Another spot which always retains a party atmosphere well into the late evening is 89K (89, ZhongMing S Rd; 04-2320-7010), a place where motorcycle enthusiasts mix with late night revellers for some high octane fun.

Kaohsiung Taiwan City Night Market

2009-09-03T02:52:00.000-07:00

Kaohsiung (高雄 or Gao Xiong in Hanyu Pinyin) is the second largest city in Taiwan after Taipei, and located in southwestern Taiwan. It is enclosed by Kaohsiung County, and faces the Taiwan Strait on the west.

An international airport, the terminal of Sun Yat-sen Freeway, and the railway stations of Western Line and Taiwan High Speed Rail, are also located in Kaohsiung. The city is also home to Taiwan's navy.

Kaohsiung was the host city of the 2009 World Games, a multisport event primarily composed of sports not featured in the Olympic Games.

Going to Kaohsiung, don't miss this spot and main attractions :

1. The Cijin District (旗津). Located on a slender island in Kaohsiung harbor which serves as a natural breakwater for the harbor. The district is filled with seafood restaurants selling freshly caught seafood which can be prepared right after you pick it out. Cijin is connected to the rest of Kaohsiung City by underwater tunnels, but the transporation of choice is one of the many ferries that traverse the harbor. Fare for the ferry ride is NT$15 per person. The area is especially crowded on weekends with many visitors bringing their entire family along.

2. Dream Mall (夢時代購物中心). The largest shopping mall in Taiwan and 2nd largest in Asia (07/2008). The mall is a bit out of the way, but worth it to visit the Hello Kitty Ferris Wheel on the roof.

3. British old Embassy. A beautiful view of Kaohsiung city.

Kaohsiung Nightlife

Like other big cities in the world, nightlife in Kaoshiung has an excellent night spots. You could enjoy the nightlife begin with Liouhe Night Market, and then perhaps a taxi ride to the Han-Hsien International Hotel for drinks at the Skyline Bar. Situated on the 42nd floor of one of the city's tallest buildings, this cozy little watering hole (open from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m.) offers tremendous views over downtown Kaohsiung and the harbor. The hotel is located at 33 Sihwei 3rd Road.

Wufu 4th Road remains the heart of Kaohsiung's nightlife scene, but there's no shortage of places in other parts of the city. One notable establishment is Roof Lounge (15F, 165 Linsen 1st Road), which has an enticing menu of Southeast Asian dishes, a dance floor (completely sound-insulated from the spiffy lounge area), and an outside balcony ideal for a romantic rendezvous.

If you want to savor an intimate night-out experience in Kaohsiung, there can be no better place than Chijin Park. The Chijin Resort Beach is located nearby. You can also gorge on delicious seafood delicacies. With exquisite seafood delicacies, the Chijin Park is a big hit amongst locals and tourists alike. You can also enjoy lazy strolls near the beach.

1. 1/2Alices:五福西路65號 Wufu Lu. You can drink or dance. Mixed bag in terms of music and atmosphere (you may need to bring your own crowd!). Note the Alices 2 near the Hanshen department store seems to have closed down.

2. ATT:建国路原东百货店对面 Jianguo Lu, opposite the Far Eastern department store near the train station. I have only been there once and I was turned off the place because some drunk decided that it would be fun for him and his mates to prove how tough they were by attacking the biggest foreign guy they saw (i.e. me). The place has a dance floora and sometimes had bands but last time I went near there it appeared to have closed down.

3. Blue Fantasy:五福二路47號 When I went there I was the only foreigner there but the singers mostly insisted on talking to the crowd in poor English and singing equally poorly in English. Their is a word for this in Chinese- "congyang". They serve OK Chinese food. It is no cheaper than most of the bars in spite of the low quality. Had a surprisingly big crowd (for the quality of the entertainment) when I went there. It is somewhere on Wufu 2nd road.

4. Cheap/Cheaky Charlies:新樂街75號 Basic simple bars run by an Australian called Raice and his local wife, Qiqi. Good for talking. Cheakies is the place to be late after everything else has finished. Located on the small road directly behind the Caves bookstore on Wufu road. Cheaper than some of the other bars. Most of the customers are foreign buxiban teachers.

5. Dew Drop Inn:新樂街39號 Good suroundings, good place for talking. Does not seem to go on till very late. Foreigner run. Located on the same road as Cheap/Cheeky Charlies.

6. Green Jungle:中二路200號 On Zhongzheng Lu. I have only been there when foreigner organised events were happening and they were very good but I suspect that it may be a different on other nights.

7. 1/2High Bar/DNA:民生一路77號4樓 This place is OK but in spite of what I keep hearing every time I go there it seems empty. It is a "disco pub". It is about the same size as the Alices on Wufu Road. It is on the 4th floor of 77, Minsheng 1st road. Run by "Dermo" who also owns the Dew Drop Inn.

8. Key Largo 五福西路88號 One of the numerous small bars on the section of Wufu Road just past the Love river bridge.

9. 1/2Jasmine's Place¡R五福西路39¸¹ Another of the numerous small bars on the section of Wufu Road just past the Love river bridge. It is known for getting foreign guys who have been here for decades, but I personally can not see the attraction.

10. Jurasic:中華路 / 西維路口 This place is very big and perhaps worth a look on account of the bizzare decor. When I have been there it was empty but I have heard that it gets a big part of the local young wanabe gangster, binlang chewing scooter racing crowd on Fri/Sat. Sun night is foreigners night (free entry). I was told that you can expect more Philipinos than westerners then. It is on the Corner of Zhonghua and Siwei roads.

11. Rainbows End: I have not been there for a long time so this report is out of date but it is a slightly seedy late night bar which got some foreigners before Cheek Charlies opened. It is on Xintian (Hsintien) road between Zhonghua (ChunHua) and ZhongShan (ChungShan) roads.

12. Rolling Stone:五福三路152號 Can be a bit mixed according to when you go there. Another not too big bar but has a good selection of music. Just off Wufu Road near the love river bridge.

13. Rock 22:漢神百貨店22樓﹐成功路 On the 22nd floor of the Hanlai hotel/ Hanshen department store. Expensive. Good dance music. Not many foreigners who live here go there much. Often has an African American band.

14. The Pig and Whistle:西維西路199號 Gets a big part of the foreigner crowd who feel like dancing. The bands can be pretty lame and the DJ is a pratt but it is an OK place to go dancing. More SPGs (a Singapore phrase meaning an Asian girl who prefers white guys) than any other bar in Gaoxiong if that is your scene. Foreigners tend to go there later mostly from about midnight on weekends. Not cheap but not quite as expensive as Rock 22.

15. Virus:三多西路110號 This is a relitively new place but apparently it was previously known by a few other names. It is quite big, good. It does not get going well until LATE (about 3:30 last Sat. night). It did not really have enough people when I went there but it definately had a much cooler atmosphere than anything else between Taichung and the Phillipines. It sort of reminds me of some clubs in China in a positive way! Someting like Rojam or the old JJ's in Shanghai. Virus is at 110 Sandou 4th Road. It is between TziChiang (Ziqiang in pinyin) and ChengKung (Chenggong) roads. It is down stairs. The Energy there on party on Sat August 7 was OK but actually I thought the last one at the green Jungle was better.

The water houses are everywhere in Wuzhen. Built partly on the bank and then stretching into the river, they are still home to the local residents. The wooden pillars and columns on which the houses stand are in the river bed. Living in the water house, standing by the window, and watching the bridges, water and houses outside, you can almost imagine yourself in a fairytale world.

Hong Kong massage and escort places

2008-09-19T04:52:00.000-07:00

Hong Kong is as vigorous in the night as it is in the day. After a long, hard day's work, residents venture into the bright psychedelic colored streets for a piece of the action in one of the many night-spots available. Western-style bars and discos are plenty with some attracting a mainly western clientele, while others a mix of locals and expatriates. Options range from British pubs and American bars to high-tech Japanese karaoke clubs and late-night Chinese dance clubs.

Clubs, pubs, and bars are abundant in Hong Kong. Central alone is considered the city's premier entertainment district and the center of after-hours fun on Hong Kong Island. These late night bars and dance clubs are the city's most hip and trendiest hang-outs where DJs spin the latest mixes. Some bars have a cover charge, which includes a complimentary drink, while others are generally walk-in clubs with no basic charges. When going into clubs, be sure to check for the age limits and restrictions of the establishment. With the myriad of clubs and bars available, it is always wise to pick one that suit your age and style. Some clubs are frequented by the younger generation while some are solely for the grand and exquisite elite.

There is much to see and do in Hong Kong that knowing where to start may pose a problem. Those who do not care about planning their travel agenda may venture into Hong Kong by chance. Others who prefer to abide by a proper routine in covering the region should at least know the different districts and areas of the country.

Hong Kong is divided into three main areas: Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the New Territories. Apart from that, there are also outlying islands that float in the surrounding waters of the South China Sea. Walking is a good way to delve Hong Kong. However, many other means of transportation are readily available to fulfill the needs of tourists.

After a hard day's business, there is nothing more enjoyable than a relaxing bath and massage in the comfort and privacy of your hotel room or home.

Another advantage of calling a visiting escort, masseuse, dancer or model is that you meet in the comfort and privacy of your hotel room, home or office. Or, if it is inconvenient to do so, you can meet in one of the inexpensive and clean small hotels that rent rooms for short periods of time. Before and after checking in, just dial the agency.

So don't leave Hong Kong without at least enjoying an oriental massage or the new imaginative options

Nanjing city favourite pub and Bars

2008-08-15T07:20:00.000-07:00

Nanjing ("Southern Capital") is the capital of China's Jiangsu Province, and a city with a prominent place in Chinese history and culture. Located in the lower Yangtze River drainage basin and Yangtze River Delta economic zone, Nanjing has always been one of China's most important cities. There are so many tourist sites in Nanjing such as Memorial to the Nanjing Massacre, Fuzi Miao, Zhongshan Ling, and Lingu Si.

Visiting Nanjing, here are some recommendations on some nice pubs to hang out. Here are some of the places that I have survied from some forums

a) KTV
1) The 6th Avenue （第六大街）
This place is big and crowded, nice atmosphere with stage performance and main hall. Plenty of ladies, standard OK.
Add : To be advised

2) Fu Lin （福临）
Standard type of KTV with Only 20+ rooms available, middle class standard, have branches.
Add : Hong Wu Lu next to Bi Feng Tang （洪武路避风塘）

3) Cheng Shi Xiu Xian Hotel （城市休闲）
It is located within the hotel, a usual hang out of my customer there. Less than 20 rooms. This place can be a little wild but so far has not met those striping KTVs. As commonly reported on website news. This place is under renovation, not so sure whether completed or not.
Add : Zhong Yang Lu near to coach station.

Prices are all rather similar RMB500 & above, RMB200 tips.

b) Pub
1) Nanjing 1912
This place is similar to the Shanghai Xintiandi. Only being there for a little while, so nothing much to comment. This place is rather new, a little quite but there was a pub very crowded.

2) Pubs at Xin Jie Kou
Only went to 2 of them, nothing much, young and student type of crowd. Drinks are relative cheap.

Fuzhou (福州) is the capital city of Fujian province, and famous for its fujian language (Hokkian Language). is an old port city; Marco Polo visited it. In the 19th century, it exported more tea than any other Chinese port. The actual port is in the suburb of Mawei. In 1884, the French destroyed a dockyard at Mawei, sinking a good part of the Chinese navy and killing hundreds.

Today it is the provincial capital and administrative center, and also a major center for light industry. Nike has a factory there, and a Taiwanese firm that makes shoes for Adidas, Reebok and others has four. All are large factories, with several thousand employees each.

Several suburbs are administratively part of Fuzhou, though they are some distance away and fairly large — Mawei, Fuqing and Changle. Changle, Fuqing and various villages in the area are the main source of illegal immigrants smuggled to Western countries.

Fuzhou Language

功夫福州话版- Fuzhou dialect (ping, then the word: Hók-ciŭ-uâ)

Although the Fuzhou dialect officially defined as a dialect, but from the linguistic definition, the Fuzhou dialect with the standard Chinese language differences are different, and even can not be said of other branches of Min people to understand. In this sense, the Fuzhou dialect is a language rather than dialect.

Fuzhou dialect main passage in the People's Republic of southeastern Fujian Province Min River middle and lower reaches (including its tributaries dazhang Gutianxi Creek and River Basin) to the estuary area, covering 11 counties and cities are Fuzhou, Minhou, Wing Thailand, Minqing, Changle, Luoyuan, Lianjiang, Fuqing, Pingtan, Pingnan and Gutian, overseas Chinese organizations have said Fuzhou Fuzhou ten ap Association.

With the Fuzhou people to overseas migrants, Fuzhou dialect has also spread to Southeast Asia, Japan and the United States and other places in the Chinese community has become quite influential in overseas Chinese.
Native speakers also call it Bàng-uâ (平話), meaning the language spoken in everyday life, even in Malaysia.
eg.- Setaiwan, Kuala Lumpur and Sarawak.
Spoken in: People's Republic of China (Fuzhou and its surrounding counties); Republic of China (Matsu Islands); Malaysia (Sibu, Miri, Sarikei, Bintulu, Yong Peng, Sitiawan and Ayer Tawar); Indonesia; Singapore; and some Chinese communities in Southeast Asia and the west, particularly in the Chinatowns of New York and London .
Centered in Fuzhou City, Fuzhou dialect mainly covers eleven cities and counties, viz.: Fuzhou (福州), Pingnan (屏南), Gutian (古田), Luoyuan (羅源), Minqing (閩清), Lianjiang (連江, Matsu included), Minhou (閩侯), Changle (長樂), Yongtai (永泰), Fuqing (福清) and Pingtan (平潭). Fuzhou dialect is also the second local language in northern and middle Fujian cities and counties, like Nanping (南平), Shaowu (邵武), Shunchang (順昌), Sanming (三明) and Youxi (尤溪).

Fuzhou Nightlife

Going to Fuzhou, don't miss its nightlife and shopping. For bussinesmen, bars is the best choice in the nite. Here I list some of Fuzhou Best Bars :

1. Diyuan Gecheng
83 Shengfu Lu, Fuzhou 35001

2. Shengshi Jiaren Guoji Julebu
Yangqiao Lu, Fuzhou 350001

3. hongmofang Jiuba, Red Mill Bar
19 Jintai Lu, Fuzhou 350001

4. Rongcheng Da Ju Yuan
1 Shengfu Lu, Gulou Qu, Fuzhou 350001

5. Jinyi Guoji Dianyingcheng, Fuzhou Jinyi International Cinemas
193 Gongye Lu, taijiang Qu, Fuzhou 350001

6. Le Cafe on Hualin Lu (Road) a block West of Wu Shi Lu is an expatriate hangout, although it has recently been taken over by the Taiwanese and has lost some popularity. It is busiest on Friday evenings. Tell a cab driver "wu yi dasha"; that is a hotel next door.

7. The Party Bar on Tong Hu Lu, about 50 meters South of the main gate of West Lake Park, has cheap beer, free pool table and live music. Popular with locals and
expats, sometimes quite crowded or noisy on weekends. FOOTNOTE : Now deserted by foreigners since the tragic murder of Richard Gribble, a 23 year old Australian, by patrons of this bar.

8. Tony's Small Bar, across the street from Party Bar, has an English-speaking owner and is quieter.
Shao Yuan Yi Hao, on Bai Ma Lu has a host of foreign beers, British, German and Belgian as well as fine wines and beautiful decor and people. Bit pricey, but worth it for the music and atmosphere. It is a beautifully remodelled warehouse, the sort of design you might expect in a Western city or perhaps Shanghai, but unique in Fuzhou.

9. 1-2-3 Bar almost opposite Shao Yuan Yi Hao on Bai Ma Lu. Cheap beer, convivial atmosphere, sometimes live music, stays open as long as you're drinking/semi-conscious. The sign says 1-2-3, but Chinese pronounce it "do-re-mi" for reasons that are not at all clear to the writer.

10. Club Blog Club is a coffee shop managed by a Western resident that overlooks the West Lake. Address: 136 Hubin Road. Web site: http://mywebpage.netscape.com/clubblogclub

11. "York" Bar so named by foreigners because it's behind York School on Hubin Lu. A lively and convivial atmosphere, cheap, cold beer, live music from a foreign band on Friday nights. All this PLUS a pet iguana in a tank near the door. Stunning.

12. The Bamboo Bar - about 200 metres from Shao Yuan Yi Hao nearer to Yang Qiao Lu. Cheap beer, waterside tables, live football games on TV. Pushy owner, but easily ignored after a couple of beers!

2008-04-08T06:38:00.000-07:00

Ningbo (宁波) was one of China's oldest cities with a history dating back to 4800 B.C. the Hemudu culture. Ningbo was known as a major trading port along with Yangzhou and Guangzhou in the Tang dynasty; thereafter, the major ports for foreign trade in the Song dynasty. Ningbo was one of the five Chinese treaty ports opened by the Treaty of Nanjing (signed in 1842) at the end of the First Opium War between Britain and China. During the war, British forces took possession of the walled city of Ningbo briefly after storming the fortified town of Zhenhai at the mouth of the Yong River on October 10, 1841. In 1864 the forces of the Taiping Rebellion held the town for six months.

2. Whiskey Jacks bar, on the other side of pulp fiction, more mature western crowd and usually has good music

Scarlets Disco (beside whiskey jacks) good mix of music & dance floor, not always many westerners.

The Funky Monkey (shi qian jie) great spot and cheap for students and english teachers albeit a bit small

3. Toms Bar, around the corner from the cluster of bars on Shi Qian Jie, small dance floor. Interesting spot..

Casablanca, around the corner again from Toms bar, a kind of a last resort place, be careful though, thereare some chinese mafia types floating around though.

4. The Drunken Chef (as mentioned in the restaurants section) is also a good spot for a pint and a chat.
There are four Blue Marlin restaurants dotted around Suzhou that are good if you fancy a quiet drink.
Several more places that sound promising are opening soon including an Irish bar and a 'Paulhaner Brauhaus'.
