shenzhen
Shenzhen, situated just across the border from Hong Kong, is a beautiful coastal garden city in South China. It is a city of sunshine and modernity, where economic development keeps pace with social development, and people live in harmony with nature.

Shenzhen which is the China’s first special economic zone established via the patronage of the late Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping is a pioneering and innovative city. It is in the vanguard of China’s reforms and opening up to the rest of the world. In its short history of 30 years, Shenzhen has developed from a small fishing village into a modern city with a gross domestic product (GDP) per capita which gives it premier ranking in China. This is a remarkable achievement, notable in the annals of urbanization, industrialization and modernization across the globe.

Migrant Culture

Shenzhen showcases China’s policy to open up to the outside world. It’s a melting pot of cultures brought in by migrants. The city’s amenities make it an ideal place for entrepreneurs from China and abroad to start their businesses. In recent years, the city has won awards from media and industry as “The Most Dynamic City in Economic Development” and “The Most Welcomed City for Rural Migrant Workers.”

Languages

Shenzhen has mandarin as its mainstream dialect. Most public service workers, professionals and business people as well as most of young students in the city can speak English. Talented and well-educated professionals who are bilingual and trilingual (Mandarin, Cantonese and English) can be found in the city. The “Speak?Shenzhen” campaign is being launched across the city to encourage more residents and government employees to learn and speak English.

Asia-Pacific International City, Adjacent to Hong Kong

Downtown Shenzhen is only a 45-minute drive from Hong Kong. The government of Shenzhen plans, over the next 15 years, to modernize Shenzhen in accordance with socialist ideals and to develop the city into a key regional and international metropolis.

More than 13,000 expatriates live and work in Shenzhen on a long-term basis, which has been key to the increasing internationalization of the city. The expatriates come from 111 counties; most are representatives sent by foreign companies to China, employees of foreign-invested enterprises, cultural workers, teachers, and foreign students. In 2005, the number of foreigners who entered the country through various checkpoints in Shenzhen totaled 3.4 million. About 5 percent of the city’s residential buildings were purchased by foreigners and people from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

I am interested in chinese martial arts, like all the different kinds of Kung Fu, and I was wondering, if you have any experience, what is the most effective chinese martial art for self defense? Do you think Shaolin is the best? I’ve heard some people say Tai Chi is best in the long run, or that Wing Chun is best, etc…What is your opinion?

What is best for me won’t necessarily be what is best for you. I like Hung Gar. We train in a complete system that does not require blending other systems, but also does not frown upon it.

I have studied Chinese boxing for over a decade now, but have experience in Korean systems previously to that. I do prefer Chinese systems (otherwise I wouldn’t be training in them!), but that isn’t to say they are necessarily better than other systems; rather, they are better for me and what I want out of my training.

The great thing I have found about Chinese boxing is that they are varied and are determined to be suited for a practitioner not just based on desire of training, but also on attitude and even the practitioner’s physique. Since I am of average height and have a stalky build, I am very well suited for Hung Gar, which is the system in which I train. I know of people who do Northern Shaolin who are tall and lanky and excel at it. This isn’t to say that somebody like me couldn’t do just as well in it, but it may require more practice and training to reach a higher level.

All that being explained, ask yourself what you want out of your training, how long you plan on training, and what techniques may come more naturally for you, otherwise, how much practice you are willing to put in for techniques that do not come naturally for you!

Oh, and FYI, "Tai Chi" is merely a philosophy, whereas "Tai Chi Chuan" is an actual martial art. It is practiced slowly since it possesses no basics and since doing it slowly massages the internal organs and has fantastic health benefits. This being the case, many never progress to practicing it at full speed. This is also why many seniors do it. In fact, it is joked that Tai Chi Chuan is China’s universal health care! When somebody does do Tai Chi Chuan at full speed, though, it is easy to see why the translation is "Supreme Ultimate Fist". It takes a very long time to attain this level. Most Chinese boxing schools teach Tai Chi Chuan on top of their external martial arts programs.

I’ll have a business trip in Shanghai in September; there seems a Shanghai Tourism Festival. Probably I would take a look during the trip, could someone give me some information and the recommended hotels in Shanghai?

Hello, I just found some information about Shanghai Tourism Festival. Shanghai Tourism Festival will start from September 19th to October 6th this year. Besides International Music Fireworks, there are series activities, Shanghai Shopping Festival, Yuyuan Chinese Day, Rose Wedding Ceremony, and Germany Week, etc.

Shanghai has many good hotels, and I recommend this hotel, Leading Nobel Suites Hotel (http://leadingnoble.sinotour.com/) because my boss used to stay in this hotel. The rate of the hotel is cheap, and the location is pretty convenient to go to other places. If you would like to live close to Huaihai Road, Jin Chen Hotel (http://jinchen.sinotour.com/) is a good choice.

More information about Shanghai, you can link on the page http://tourguide.sinotour.com/shanghai/

Have a nice trip in Shanghai.

i have seen some very large chinese landscape drawings. I believe they must put together some smaller papers to create the whole. How do they do it? Do they use glue? or just hang them next to each other?

Rice paper can be made to any desired size. You just have to have the space for it. The larger format art you see is all one sheet of rice paper that was made to that specific size. For a very large piece they will have to spread the pulp over a much larger area and let it dry.

I plan on start business at shanghai(China).

There are various ways to do business, the real challenge is to find the legitimate program and follow it. I would recommend you to check the website below for review
Browse through the site to find the right program for you.
Hope it helps,
