September 18th History Museum

September 18^th 1931 is a day that will never be forgotten by the Chinese people, as it was the beginning of the darkest period in China’s modern history. On this day the Japanese army, which had been occupying part of Manchuria (northeastern China) since the Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895), allegedly bombed a bridge at a Japanese owned and operated railroad crossing. The Japanese then blamed the attack on Chinese rebels. This action, which is now referred to as “the September 18^th Incident (九一八事变)” or “the Manchurian Incident” or “the Mukden Incident” (Mukden is the Manchu name for Shenyang), was used as a pretext for the Japanese army to begin its invasion of China.

After the railroad crossing was destroyed, the Japanese launched a full-scale, surprise attack on Shenyang, easily conquering the city. Within a week, the Japanese conquered most of Manchuria, pillaging its cities, and taking the food, and resources for use in Japan. For the next 14 years the Chinese people lived in constant fear and suffered unfathomable atrocities at the hands of the Japanese army.

Shenyang’s 9-18 Museum sits on the exact site of the “9-18 Incident.” The museum is a large, very impressive building, designed to look like an open book. Some exhibits feature hundreds of photographs and documents from the years before the invasion leading all the way up to the war-crimes tribunals of the 1950s. Other exhibits include Chinese and Japanese firearms and artillery, human skeletons found in Shenyang, wax figurines, Japanese torture devices, and concrete sections of the original railroad bridge.

The museum is very well presented, and the dark, somber atmosphere is very suitable to the content of the exhibits. There are some signs in English, but unfortunately most of the information is in Chinese. However, even if you can’t understand the Chinese, the pictures and displays are impressive and moving nonetheless.

Those with an interest in modern history or those studying Chinese should definitely not skip the 9-18 Museum. It’s probably the world’s best collection of memorabilia from this important period of history, which is often overlooked in Western history books. The museum also provides excellent insight into the formation of the current ideas and attitudes of Chinese people, as well as the political relationships between the two East Asian countries. Furthermore, as of 2007, entrance to the museum is free.

For anyone staying in Shenyang, it is certainly worth the time to come here. If you can’t read Chinese, you may want to consider bringing a Chinese friend.

Note: Entry to the museum is free, but it closes at 4:00pm and is closed on Mondays. Plan your time so you can have at least two hours to wander around the museum.

Location: The Museum is to the northeast of the North Train Station, on Wang Hua Nan Jie (望花南街). From Middle Street (中街), it’s about 5km directly north on Xi Shun Cheng Jie (西顺城街). Ask a taxi driver for “jiǔ yī bā bówù guǎn”or take the following buses:

Horticulture Exposition/Botanical Gardens

The widely publicized (around Shenyang) “2006 International Horticultural Exposition” (世界园艺博览会 shì jiè yuán yì bó lǎn huì) was one of the most significant events ever to be held in Shenyang. Though the official “Expo” was during the summer of 2006, the park itself and most of the attractions are still open, and this year the park will play host to another event: the “2007 UNESCO World Heritage Exposition” (June 9-October, 2007).

The park, commonly known in English as the Expo, and in Chinese as shìbóyuán (世博园), includes the old Shenyang Botanical Gardens (植物园) as well many new exhibits including a large indoor rose garden, a rare flower market, the “Lily Tower”--a large glass tower that provides a great view of the surrounding area, the “Phoenix Tail”--a large metal structure that forms the entrance to the grounds, many “International Gardens” which are supposed to represent horticulture from around the world, a Mongolian horse show, food vendors, beer gardens, some live entertainment including traditional performances from some of China’s ethnic minorities, a motorcycle show, and more.

The park is huge, and it’s probably impossible to see everything in one day. However, walking through the “International Gardens” can be a bit monotonous as they all look a bit similar. Many people will enjoy the old Botanical Gardens more than the new attractions, as it is quieter and the flora is older and more natural. Find a map of the park--the old section is south of the train tracks.

Aside from flowers and trees, the Botanical Garden features a carnival with rides and games, and a canal with dozens of different types of bridges challenging you to cross (be wary of friends who may be eager to push you in the water).

Location: One hour west of the city center by bus, a few km past Dongling Park, and just east of Qipan Shan Scenic Area. A taxi there will cost you at least 50 yuan, but most westbound trains from Shenyang’s stations stop there. Also you can take the 168 (formerly 330) bus from Ma Lu Wan or Da Shuai Fu for 5 yuan (1 hour). During the Expo, there are dozens of special charter buses leaving from all over the city, so if you ask around you may be able to find one close to you. If you can’t find one, simply go to Ma Lu Wan, or North Train Station.

Be careful crossing these bridges!!

Liaoning Radio and Television Tower

The Liaoning Radio and TV Tower, at 305 meters, is easily the tallest structure in Shenyang. It’s commonly known in English as “the TV tower,” and in Chinese as 彩电塔 (cǎi diàn tǎ). The sign outside proclaims that the tower is one of the “top 50 tourist lo...

For 50 yuan visitors can take an ultra-fast elevator 200 meters up into the tower (70 yuan with dinner included). Inside the tower there is a rotating restaurant, a small bar with wine and beer, a few arcade games, and some pictures of “famous towers of the world.” The tower’s top attraction is likely the open-air viewing platform just upstairs from the restaurant and bar area. On a clear day Shenyang can be viewed in it’ entirety, and it can be very pleasant on a clear autumn evening.

Note: You must have a reservation if you want to dine in the restaurant!

Location: There are entrances on qīng nián dà jiē (青年大街) and xī bīn hé lù (西滨河路), just west of Qingnian Park (青年公园, qīng nián gōng yuán).

Beiling (literally “north tomb”) is one of Shenyang’s largest parks, and certainly it’s most famous. The park itself is huge and quite nice, and you could easily spend half a day wandering around the ponds and trees. In the summer the park is filled with people flying kites, dancing, cycling, and practicing Tai ji (太极). In the winter you can ride horses, skate, and go sledding on the frozen ponds.

The Zhaoling tomb is located in the center of the park. Entrance to the tomb area requires a separate ticket (30 yuan). Built in 1643 by famous Qing Dynasty Emperor Kangxi, the shrine is walled in by a large stone wall. Within the walls are several Qing Dynasty style buildings, and the tomb itself is a large earthen mound with a single elm tree growing from the top.

The Qing Dynasty was ruled by the Manchus, whose home was in northeastern China. Shenyang (then called ‘Shenjing’) served briefly as the Manchu capital before they moved to Beijing and established their dynasty. For the next 200 years, the Qing emperors periodically made tours through the northeast to visit their homeland and pay homage to their ancestors, including Huang Taiji (皇太极) and his empress who are buried here at Zhaoling.

The Zhaoling tomb, along with the Imperial Palace, are Shenyang’s most significant historical sites, and well worth a visit. All the buildings are beautiful and very well preserved; and the signs are interesting and informative with fairly good English translations. The shrine is particularly beautiful and serene in the winter with freshly fallen snow. Plan on spending half a day in Beiling Park, and 45-60 minutes in the Zhaoling shrine.

Location: On the far north side of the city. The entrance is located at the intersection of Beiling da jie (北陵大街) and Taishan lu (泰山路). All taxi drivers will know "běi líng gōng yuán".

Purple Mountain Observatory contains astronomical instruments dating back to the Ming Dynasty. The modern observatory began operating in 1934 and is still actively involved in research today.

For most, a visit to the observatory will compliment a hike or ride up or down Purple Mountain. Once you have arrived, it only takes about 30-45 minutes to observe the instruments and enjoy the view from the observatory.

How to get there:

See “Taiping Road Entrance and the Tramline” in the main Purple Mountain Article.

While the author is left with a bad taste in his mouth for even suggesting to go to Wal-Mart, Kunming’s lack of comprehensive supermarkets leaves few options (besides Carrefour) for anyone in need of a ’supercenter’s’ convenience. Some western goods that are not easily found in the average Chinese shop are stocked at Wal-Mart (i.e. cheese, sugar-less breads, condiments, etc.), but most products are geared towards the Chinese customers as there are much more of them.

A few good things about Wal-Mart:
1) Standard prices (no worrying about a "laowai price" here)
2) Wal-Mart accepts western credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex should all work)
3) Convenience.

Some bad things about Wal-Mart:
1) Way too crowded. You thought the streets were bad... well if you did not have a headache before entering Wal-Mart, you certainly will leave with one
2) Wal-Mart is evil.

How to get to the Daguang branch: The Daguang branch of Wal-mart is located just south of Dong Feng Xi Lu near it’s intersection with Renmin Xi Lu. There are a lot of mobile phone shops on Dong Feng Xi Lu in this area, and Green Lake Park is close by.

Shenzhen Introduction

Shenzhen (深圳) is located in the south of Guangdong province straddling the Mainland China’s border with Hong Kong. Despite being China’s most affluent city, Shenzhen is often overlooked by travellers. This border boomtown is, not surprisingly, usually regarded only as a symbol of China’s economic reform. Due to government policies and its geographical location, Shenzhen went from being a small fishing village to a bustling metropolis of 10 million people in the space of twenty years. Nonetheless, Shenzhen has more to offer the traveller than just an example of the dizzying speed of progress that China has been making since the 1980s. It is a diverse city peopled by immigrants from all over the country with great restaurants, bars, clubs, shops, scenic areas and, if you dig deep enough, even historical and cultural attractions. Shenzhen is still growing and still developing an identity. Its nascent character makes it difficult to define. Now, with Synotrip as your guide, staying in Shenzhen for a few days and discovering what lies beneath the surface of this unique city will be easier and more rewarding.

Shenzhen Shopping

Shenzhen’s wealthy residents and the thousands of Hong Kong bargain hunters pouring in everyday looking for food products, home appliances, clothing, jewellery and who knows what else, create a demand for shops that the city meets with a vengeance. Shenzhen is a shopper’s paradise. From designer fashion to street stall threads, international brands to local products, the mundane to the exotic, if it can’t be bought in Shenzhen, it probably can’t be bought anywhere.

Competition in the retail sector is stiff. Salespeople call their wares from shop entrances and employ touts, blaring music and discounts to net more customers (as well as erecting mini-shrines to Buddhist and other Chinese deities to help them succeed in business). Even if you are not in the market for anything, shopping in Shenzhen, especially in the markets and street shops, can be considered as one of the city’s attractions and an education in the Chinese appetite for commerce and consumption.

Shenzhen Tourist Attractions

Travel guidebooks often, unfairly, overlook Shenzhen as a new city that offers little in the way of attractions . New it may be, but to suggest it has nothing to offer the visitor is ridiculous. Its very youth means it has an impressive array of awards for its urban design and greenery. Nature lovers will not be disappointed with the several gorgeous parks and scenic areas in and around Shenzhen. However, the city also has a history; there has been some form of urban settlement in the area since the 4^th Century and the evidence remains in the form of temples, forts, and other types of architecture. These historical relics may not be immediately obvious on arrival but this makes their discovery all the more pleasurabl

Shenzhen Restaurants

Visitors to Shenzhen would be forgiven for concluding that the only thing the residents of the city do is stuff themselves. Restaurants, of all shapes and sizes, are packed into every corner of the city and are buzzing with diners from the early morning to late into the night.

For Western food, Shenzhen might not be able to match Beijing and Shanghai but it has a good selection of Japanese, Thai and Indian cuisine. When it comes to Chinese restaurants, Shenzhen can hold its own against any city in the country. Its diverse Chinese population means that every type of Chinese cuisine is represented here, with the flavours of Canton, Sichuan, the North, Hakka, Hainan and Yunnan being the strongest.

Shenyang Introduction

...

(Zhaoling Tomb with fresh snow, 2004)

Shenyang (沈阳), the capital of Liaoning Province (辽宁), is the largest city in northeast China. It is located in the center of Liaoning, three hours west of North Korea by train, and about eight hours northeast of Beijing. Though far less tourist oriented than Beijing, Shenyang is home to some historical sites that are well worth a visit.

Historically, Shenyang is probably the most important city in northeastern China. Known previously by several different names including “Shenjing”, “Fengtian”, and “Mukden”, the city was historically the capital of Manchuria. Thus, when the Manchus conquered China in 1625 and founded the Qing Dynasty, Shenyang became the capital of China. The capital status was short-lived however, as the Qing opted to move to Beijing in 1644. Thereafter, Shenyang was officially known as a “secondary capital” until the end of the Qing Dynasty in 1911. Although Shenyang was only the capital of China for 19 years, it was long enough for the Qing build the marvelous Imperial Palace as a monument to their conquest. Also, throughout the 300-year reign of the Qing Dynasty, the emperors made periodic tours through Manchuria to visit their homeland, and pay homage to their ancestors. During this time they built or added to many buildings around Shenyang, including Zhaoling Tomb, Fuling Tomb, and Huang Temple.

After the Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895), the Qing Dynasty was collapsing and the Japanese occupied Manchuria. In 1931, Shenyang was once again a critical city in an invasion of China, only this time the invaders were Japanese, not Manchu. On September 18, the Japanese executed a surprise attack on Shenyang, beginning the 14-year invasion and occupation of China. Shenyang’s “9-18 Museum” is built on the exact site where the invasion began.

When the Communists came to power in 1949, Shenyang became a major industrial center for northern China, churning out steel, trucks, and other equipment; and the city grew to become the massive city we can see today.

Nowadays Shenyang is undergoing a transformation from a jumble of factories and gray, block apartment buildings to a modern, commercial city. The 2006 World Horticultural Exhibition was held at Shenyang’s Botanical Gardens, which gave the city strong incentive to clean up. An army of workers took to the streets before the Expo, cleaning up sidewalks and streets, and planting thousands of flowers and trees around the city. The city is becoming noticeably cleaner and more beautiful all the time, and construction recently began on Shenyang’s subway system.

"Red-tiled roofs amongst greenery, the azure sky above the blue sea" used to be the highlights of Qingdao (青岛), appealing to both Chinese and foreign tourists in the last century. Today Qingdao has been put in the spotlight as the host city of the 29th Sailing Regatta in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. "Qingdao, The Sailing City" symbolizes the new horizon of Qingdao which aims at attracting more visitors from around the world.

To visitors from both China and around the world, Qingdao is known as China’s "Little Switzerland," because the city boasts unique characteristics not found in other Chinese cities. These envied traits include amazing fine-sand beaches, European style architecture, and most significantly, clean air. Qingdao is far and away one of the cleanest cities in China.

Qingdao lies between mountains and the sea, maintains a well-placed coastal port with clear deep waters, and enjoys a very comfortable climate. The mountains provide a collection of interesting sights centered around the mystical Mt. Laoshan(崂山), an important Taoist historical location featuring the highest peak along the Chinese coast. Meanwhile the sea provides relaxation, gentle waves, bared rocks, and some golden beaches forming arguably China’s best northern beach resort. All of these unique physical features produce a fabulous landscape surrounding the city. The historical culture, variety of religion, civil traditions, village customs, and holiday celebrations all add to Qingdao’s rich culture.

Qingdao Tourist Attractions

First imagine a harmonious picture of mountains, sea, architecture, and humans coexisting. Then imagine the same painting filled with a winding coastline, lazy islands, and timeless structures set against verdant trees. Finally, add an azure sky dotted with clouds above the tranquil, blue sea… and that’s Qingdao. The city has been a popular tourist destination and summer resort since the 1920s. The beautiful scenery and pleasant climate has always attracted plenty of Chinese celebrities, and still does.

The western part of Qingdao is the old city proper, where traditional red-tile-roofed buildings, green trees, blue sea and clear skies can still be seen. The eastern part of Qingdao is the newly developed area of the city with many modern buildings. The contrast between the old and the new city gives Qingdao its cosmopolitan Euro-Asian characteristics. Moving along Qingdao’s coastline from east to west, visitors will find 4 unique tourist areas amidst the picturesque coastal scenery: "Historical and Euro-Asian Area", "The Flourishing Eastern Downtown", "The Stone Old Man Tourist Resort" and "The Mount Lao Scenic Area".

CHENGDU, A PANDA CITY, A GOURMET CITY, A TEA CITY, LOOKING FOWARD TO YOUR ARRIVAL

Chengdu, with an area of 12,400 square kilometers and a polulation of about 14,170,000 is not just the biggest provincial capital in west China, but also the only city in the history of China whose name has reminded the same for 3,000 years since its establishment. In Chinese, "Cheng" means "success or successful" and "Du" means "big city or capital". This "Successful City" boasts a long history. It is believed that everything about Chengdu has their origin from "Sanxingdui Ruins", from where you can deeply discover the history story of Chengdu.

Giant pandas definitely are the best calling card and trademark of Chengdu. Every year, million of people are attracted by giant pandas to spend their holidays here, go sightseeing here, make investment here and even settle here permanently. The reason is that for people around the world, the charm of giant pandas cannot be replaced by anything else.

Various kinds of wonderful food shall be another reason attracting you to visit Chengdu. Of the four most famous schools of culinery art in China (Beijing cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Jiangsu cuisine, Guangdong cuisine), Sichuan cuisine boasts tongue-numbing, hot, delicate and fresh taste and a variety of flavors, as "each dish has its unique taste and no two dishes have the same flavor." Such spcial flavors as fish-flavored, gongbao (with peanuts), and water-boiled are incomparable at home and abroad.

"The teahouses in Sichuan top the world, and those in Chengdu Top Sichuan." This widespread saying not only points out the status of Chengdu's teahouses but also the inseverable ties between Chengdu culture and tea. Like bars in Paris and cafes in Vienna, teahouse add a touch of refinement and leisureliness to Chengdu, an ancient yet modern metropolis. The practice of driking tea prevailed in Sichuan as earlt as prior to the Qin and Han Dynasties.
