Wuling Yuan

2021-05-28T17:12:26Z

ZJFLamont1515:

Brief Introduction Located in northwest Hunan Province and covering an area of 369 square kilometers, the Wulingyuan Scenic Area comprises the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in Zhangjiajie City, the Suoxiyu Nature Reserve in Cili County, the Tianzi Nature Reserve and the Yangjia-jie Scenic Area in Sangzhi County. It is famous for its "five wonders", namely queer peaks, tranquil valleys, elegant rivers, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] deep forests and ancient karst caves. It is ranked as a national AAAAA tourist area. Wulingyuan features some 3,000 towering sandstone pillars and peaks, 243 of which are more than 1,000 meters high and most are over 200 meters high. Of these, the Imperial Pen Peak, in excess of 100 meters above sea level, has several parallel apexes of different heights. It is regarded as being the best representative of the peaks at Wulingyuan. There are 32 streams, each with a length of at least 2,000 meters, in the Wulingyuan Scenic Area, and the Gold Whip Stream and the Suoxi River both run through it. The Gold Whip Stream was formed naturally and gets its name because it passes by the Gold Whip Rock. It extends 5,700 meters through the steep cliffs and queerly-shaped peaks. With limpid water and luxuriant vegetation around, it has been recognized as one of the most beautiful waterways of Zhangjiajie. Meanwhile, Wulingyuan boasts large numbers of karst caves. The well-known Yellow Dragon Cave has a ground area of 100,000 square meters, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour phượng hoàng cổ trấn] is 7.5 kilometers long, and has a vertical height of 140 meters. It is rare among the world's karst caves in terms of the scale, number and shape of its stalactites. Transport The Zhangjiajie Hehua Airport, about five kilometers away from the downtown, has opened flight routes to over 20 cities. However, with the exception of Shanghai, Beijing,Guangzhou, Chengdu and Changsha, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour trương gia giới] these services are not available on a daily basis and are often subject to changes, so tourists should refer to the flight numbers as displayed on the computer of the local booking offices. Through the Shimenxian-Changsha Railway and the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, Zhangjiajie is linked with over 10 large and medium-sized cities by train. In the scenic area itself, environmentally-friendly buses shuttle passengers between any two of the scenic spots. Mini-buses travel frequently between the downtown of Zhangjiajie City and the Wulingyuan Scenic Area, a distance of some 30 kilometers. In addition, the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park and the Suoxiyu Nature Reserve are connected by a highway, and the Tianzi Mountain Nature Reserve and the Yangjiajie Scenic Area by the Liangyuan Road. Catering Within the scenic area as a whole, the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park has the most developed supplementary facilities. In regard to catering, Zhangjiajie cuisine belongs to a branch of Hunan cuisine, but features a greater degree of traditional farmhouse cooking styles such as smoking and baking. The main characteristic of the cuisine is its distinctive peppery taste. The price of food in the scenic area is comparatively high, but here one can taste such special local dishes as the Sauteed Preserved Meat with Kudzu Root, the Rock Edible Fungus, and the Stir-Fried Eggs with Sour Corn. Shopping Wulingyuan has many [http://www.wordreference.com/definition/special%20local special local] products. The kiwi fruit, the Qingyan Mingcui Tea, the Longxia Jasmine Tea and pine mushroom are all renowned; the Sangzhi Salt Dried Bean Curd was served as a tribute during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911): the Kudzu Root Powder is pure natural beverage; the Maoping Maojian Tea features a light fragrance and beautiful color; and the Lameizi series of foods with local flavor are also highly recommended.

China Restaurant Apologises For Weighing Customers

Chinese President Xi Jinping has urged the nation to stop [http://www.blogrollcenter.com/index.php?a=search&q=wasting wasting] food A restaurant in China has apologised for its controversial policy of asking diners to weigh themselves before entry in an overzealous response to a new national campaign against food waste. The beef restaurant in the central city of Changsha was heavily criticised on Chinese social media as soon as it unveiled the policy on Friday. Customers were asked to stand [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour trương gia giới] on scales and scan their data into an app that recommended food choices based on their weight and the dishes' calorific value, according to a report by the state-run China News Service. President Xi Jinping this week urged the nation to stop wasting food, as the coronavirus pandemic and serious flooding last month have led to a rise in food prices. In response, regional catering groups have urged customers to order one dish fewer than the number of diners at a table -- an attempt to overturn the ingrained cultural habit of ordering extra food for group meals. Signs were displayed in the beef restaurant reading "be thrifty and diligent, promote empty plates" and "operation empty plate" -- referring to the nationwide campaign -- according to photos published in local media. In a swift backlash, hashtags related to the incident have been viewed over 300 million times on the social platform Weibo. The restaurant said it was "deeply sorry" for its interpretation of the anti-waste campaign. "Our original intentions were to advocate stopping waste and ordering food in a healthy way. We never forced customers to weigh themselves," it said in an apology posted online on Saturday morning. Chinese state media has also waged war on viral binge-eating videos, known as "mukbang", [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] while livestreaming platforms have promised to shut down accounts promoting excess eating and food wastage.

China Search Giant Baidu Considers Making Own Electric Vehicles...

2021-05-27T20:16:32Z

ZJFLamont1515:

BEIJING, Dec 15 (Reuters) - China's Baidu Inc is considering making its own electric vehicles and has held talks with automakers about the possibility, said three people with knowledge of the matter, the latest move in a race among tech firms to develop smart cars. The search engine leader, which also develops autonomous driving technology and internet connectivity infrastructure, is considering contract manufacturing, one of the people said, or creating a majority-owned venture with automakers. The initiative would be a step up from internet peers such as Tencent Holdings Ltd, Amazon.com Inc and Alphabet Inc, which have also developed auto-related technology or invested in smart-car startups. Baidu has held preliminary talks - without reaching any decisions - with automakers including Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co Ltd, Guangzhou Automobile Group Co Ltd and China FAW Group Corp Ltd's Hongqi, on a possible venture, the people said, declining to be identified as the talks were private. Baidu declined to comment. GAC said it has a strategic partnership with Baidu and that any further cooperation is subject to discussion. Geely said it was not familiar with the matter. FAW did not respond to a request for comment. Baidu established autonomous driving unit Apollo in 2017. The unit mainly supplies technology powered by artificial intelligence and work with automakers such as Geely, Volkswagen AG, [http://www.ajaxtime.com/?s=Toyota%20Motor Toyota Motor] Corp and Ford Motor [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] Co . Baidu operates autonomous taxi service Go Robotaxi with safety drivers on board in Beijing, Changsha and Cangzhou, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour du lịch phượng hoàng cổ trấn] and plans to expand to 30 cities in three years. It gained approval last week to test five cars in Beijing without safety drivers. Its talks regarding manufacturing come after Didi Chuxing last month launched a purpose-built van for ride-hailing services with automaker BYD Co Ltd. Meanwhile tech giant Sony Corp in January unveiled an electric concept car with self-driving functions. Building cars would represent a dramatic development in Baidu's push to diversify income streams as growth plateaus in its core search business, where revenue grew just 2% last year.

By David Stanway SHANGHAI, Jan 28 (Reuters) - A transparent plastic bag dropped at the door of my Shanghai apartment contained a handful of surgical masks along with a "friendly notice" informing me that I was under home [http://thesaurus.com/browse/quarantine quarantine] for two weeks. The reason? I had briefly been inside the widening exclusion zone in China's Hubei province, including a stop on the train as it passed through Wuhan, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour trương gia giới] the city at the epicentre of the new coronavirus. "People who returned from or passed through Hubei to enter the (Shanghai) municipality must actively submit to temperature monitoring ... and consciously implement home quarantine or submit to centralised supervision for 14 days," it said. The notice came from the Xujiahui District Novel Coronavirus-transmitted Pneumonia Epidemic Prevention and Control Leading Working Group. I need to report my temperature by phone to a member of the working group twice a day until Feb. 10. It remains normal. As a nurse standing at my door explained, the best way was to place a glass thermometer under the armpit for five minutes. As she spoke, a neighbour looked on anxiously. A day earlier, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] there had been a knock on the door from two men from the local residents' committee wearing what looked like clumsy military-issue gas masks. When I opened the door, they took a wary step back and asked when I had returned to Shanghai from Wuhan,the source of the coronavirus that has killed more than 100 people and infected over 4,500 in China as of Monday. One of the men informed me that I should know there is an "epidemic" going on in Hubei and I should be subject to special control measures, including two weeks of isolation at home. At a Shanghai government press conference on Sunday, a health official said the city was now inspecting 95 suspected cases. I wondered if I was included in that statistic. LOCK-DOWN As the number of reported coronavirus cases started to multiply last week, a Reuters multi-media team travelled to the city of Xianning, just south of Wuhan, on Friday to report on the effectiveness of Wuhan's day-old transportation lock-down. My journey included a 10-minute stop at an eerily empty platform of Wuhan train station. I did not see anyone board there. From Xianning, we reached Wuhan's southern border and spoke with the auxiliary police staffing the checkpoint. It became clear that it was relatively easy to get into Wuhan, as long as we didn't have wild animals or a fever, but harder to get out. Xianning itself was not in lockdown when we arrived, but within hours its major roads and train station were closed and we left in a hired car, escorted by police, as soon as possible. Police said that if we headed south immediately, we would be able to beat the lockdown. On the eve of the Lunar New Year, we sped south along mostly empty highways towards Changsha, watching bursts of fireworks on the horizon. At one packed service station, families trying to get out of Hubei ate instant noodles for their new year's dinner. It was a far cry from the traditional reunion feast. We arrived in Changsha early the next morning and I was back in Shanghai the same afternoon. (Reporting by David Stanway; Editing by Mike Collett-White)

Liu, 33, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour phượng hoàng cổ trấn] and his fellow drivers make their living getting drunk people safely home. And with Beijing urging restaurants, entertainment venues and public transportation to extend hours in a bid to boost consumption, Liu's clients on DiDi Chuxing, China's biggest ride-hailing service platform, have multiplied. "My orders after midnight have grown a lot, and a third more of my customers are asking me to drive them to the next entertainment spot instead of going home," Liu said. "(Our) business makes the most money in the later half of the night." His rates triple after midnight. The high payoff has lured Liu to travel 20km (12 miles) from his home in nearby Hebei province daily. He earned 12,000 yuan ($1,742) a month on average last year. In some months, he raked in nearly 19,000 yuan, more than two times the average Beijing salary. He and other drivers hang around night spots - less than 100 metres (100 yards) away, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] 12 men at a table were gorging on meat and downing beer - and when hired, use their clients' own cars to drive them home. The drivers check their phones as they wait, ready for their first customer of the night to contact them through a mobile app. It is too soon to say whether extending opening hours of malls, creating food streets, and putting on late-night cultural performances will boost China's consumption, with the economy still languishing at near 30-year lows. But on-demand drivers seem to be one early beneficiary. Data from DiDi shows night-time orders for drivers increased 20% in Beijing's central business district last year compared with a year earlier. In other cities like Dongguan, Changsha and Zhengzhou, orders jumped even more, as much as 50%. Liu said he sees his [https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=business,creativecommons business] as promising, and plans to stick with it for the next few years. But, inevitably, family life suffers. "Some weekends, my son would hug my leg when I leave, crying and asking me to play with him," Liu said.

Pollution Concerns Grow Alongside Economy In China

2021-05-27T18:25:36Z

ZJFLamont1515:

Over the past few years, growing environmental pressure in China has forced the country to finally look into such issues as people residing near heavy industrial clusters continue to suffer from air, water and soil contamination. At the ninth "Science and Technological Week" held by the Guangdong Provincial Association for Science and Technology earlier this month, Wang Xiwen, an expert from the Chinese Academy of Engineering, gave a lecture about the seriousness of food security in China. According to Wang, heavy metal pollution is currently endangering some 300 million acres of farmland across China, equal to roughly one-sixth of all cropland in the country. Only 11 percent of [http://www.medcheck-up.com/?s=farmland farmland] in Guangdong Province is considered to be free from contamination. "The pollution in coastal regions is much heavier," Wang said. "The metals mercury, cadmium and copper are the main contaminants. Now the heavy metal contamination is growing in the same speed as our economic development, which means the more our country is developed, the more dangerous our environment will be, especially in the Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Guangdong and Liaoning provinces. In addition, the soil pollution in some inland provinces has been spreading gradually, for example, the Chang-Zhu-Tan (Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan) city cluster in Hunan Province is the most advanced area in terms of economic development in the province, while the area appears to have the most severe soil contamination as well." Statistics show that in Guangdong Province 89 percent of the farmland has already been contaminated, with 77 percent considered lightly contaminated and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] 12 percent classified as heavily polluted. The soil contamination in the lower Pearl River Delta area is a result of frequent industrial activities, while the pollution in northern Guangdong Province has been caused mainly by mining activities. Huge amounts of heavy metals flow into rivers and lakes in the process of washing mineral ore. In Hunan Province, the Research and Development Department of the local National Land and Resources Bureau has tracked the health records of some 70,000 individuals over the last 25 years. The records show that the number of people who suffer from osteocarcinoma (known as bone cancer) and other bone diseases such as osteoporosis have gone up. In the severely contaminated Zhuzhou City, it was discovered that the cadmium content of local residents was two to five times higher than normal. China's Hetao District is a region in the upper reaches of the Yellow River in Northwestern China that includes the Yinchuan Plain, the Ordos Plateau, as well as the Loess Plateau and forms parts of Shaanxi, Ningxia, and Inner Mongolia. The region has been known for [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour du lịch phượng hoàng cổ trấn] its low quality underground water with high arsenic and fluorine content. There are 300,000 people facing the risk of arsenic poisoning, while 2,000 people have already been contaminated in the region, reports said. In Wuyuan County of Bayannur, a city in western Inner Mongolia, cancer has become the leading cause of mortality. There's also an area between Horinger County and Togtoh County - both of which are under jurisdiction of the Inner Mongolian capital city Hohhot - where the underground water is contaminated heavily by fluorine. Many villagers in the region have darkened teeth and suffer from various bone diseases. Horinger County is best known for the Mengniu Diary Company - one of China's main dairy manufacturers. Around one of the mines of the Baotou Iron and Steel Group, a state-owned steel company in Inner Mongolia, some villagers and their livestock are endangered because of the heavily polluted land which is contaminating the crops. Zinc contamination has long tormented the people of Huludao in northwestern Liaoning Province. Again, cancer and various bone diseases have taken away many lives.

BEIJING, Dec 15 (Reuters) - China's Baidu Inc is considering making its own electric vehicles and has held talks with automakers about the possibility, said three people with knowledge of the matter, the latest move in a race among tech firms to develop smart cars. The search engine leader, which also develops autonomous driving technology and internet connectivity infrastructure, is considering contract manufacturing, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour du lịch phượng hoàng cổ trấn] one of the people said, or creating a majority-owned venture with automakers. The initiative would be a step up from internet peers such as Tencent Holdings Ltd, Amazon.com Inc and Alphabet Inc, which have also developed auto-related technology or invested in smart-car startups. Baidu has held preliminary talks - without reaching any decisions - with automakers including Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co Ltd, Guangzhou Automobile Group Co Ltd and China FAW Group Corp Ltd's Hongqi, on a possible venture, the people said, declining to be identified as the talks were private. Baidu declined to comment. GAC said it has a strategic partnership with Baidu and that any further cooperation is subject to discussion. Geely said it was not familiar with the matter. FAW did not respond to a request for [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] comment. Baidu established autonomous driving unit Apollo in 2017. The unit mainly supplies technology powered by [http://sportsrants.com/?s=artificial%20intelligence artificial intelligence] and work with automakers such as Geely, Volkswagen AG, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour du lịch phượng hoàng cổ trấn] Toyota Motor Corp and Ford Motor Co . Baidu operates autonomous taxi service Go Robotaxi with safety drivers on board in Beijing, Changsha and Cangzhou, and plans to expand to 30 cities in three years. It gained approval last week to test five cars in Beijing without safety drivers. Its talks regarding manufacturing come after Didi Chuxing last month launched a purpose-built van for ride-hailing services with automaker BYD Co Ltd. Meanwhile tech giant Sony Corp in January unveiled an electric concept car with self-driving functions. Building cars would represent a dramatic development in Baidu's push to diversify income streams as growth plateaus in its core search business, where revenue grew just 2% last year.
