It is on the west bank of Huangpu River from the Waibaidu Bridge to Nanpu Bridge and winds 1500 meters (0.93 mile) in length. The most famous and attractive sight which is at the west side of the Bund are the 26 various buildings of different architectural styles including Gothic, Baroque, Romanesque, Classicism and the Renaissance. The 1,700-meters (1,859 yards) long flood-control wall, known as ‘the lovers’ wall’, located on the side of Huangpu River from Huangpu Park to Xinkai River and once was the most romantic corner in Shanghai in the last century. After renovation, the monotone concrete buildings that lovers leaned against in the past have been improved into hollowed-out railings full of romantic atmosphere. Standing by the railings, visitors can have a ‘snap-shot’ view of the scenery of Pudong Area and Huangpu River.

As China is a geographically huge country, it is diverse in climate, ethnicity and subcultures. Not surprisingly therefore, there are many distinctive styles of cuisine. Traditionally there are eight main families of dishes, namely

* Hui (Anhui)
* Yue (Cantonese)
* Min (Fujian)
* Xiang (Hunan)
* Yang (Jiangsu)
* Lu (Shandong)
* Chuan (Szechuan)
* Zhe (Zhejiang)

Today there are mainly four main styles of food in China, namely the Beijing Style, the Shanghai Style, theSichuan/Szechuan Style and the Cantonese Style. The Cantonese style is the most popular style in overseas restaurants. When you are traveling in China, you would find it extremely hard to resist the Peking duck, the Shanghai pork bun, or the Cantonese dim sum. If you are traveling in China, don’t forget to try out some of the dishes!

1.  You should be an experienced shopper to know what something is worth in a Chinese market.  Generally the shopkeeper will start at 10X what you should counteroffer.  You could ask strangers what they would typically pay for it.   Taxi prices are set by meter.  Food merchants naturally will jack up the price for foreign-looking people, so be sure to bargain.  Bargaining is an art in China.  If you do not care for it, have someone else buy things for you.

2.  Like anywhere, some tourist attractions are overrated.  Avoid visiting mid-morning and mid-afternoon when group bus tours unload hundreds, if not thousands, of tourists to overrun a previously enjoyable attraction.  The cacophony of multiple battery-operated bullhorns in several languages will spoil any visit to a Chinese garden, the Great Wall or landscape scenery.

3. Chinese people are delighted if you make any attempt to speak Mandarin, even if it’s only a couple of words.  The best way to introduce yourself is with a warm, broad smile.  Even when you might be upset or frustrated, smile.  It works.

4.   Traveling in China on its holidays can be a nightmare.  Plan your trip carefully so you know what to expect on the Chinese Official Holidays.  While the holidays may be the same from year to year, even tied to fixed dates, the entire holiday period will shift.

Victoria Harbor is a natural landform harbor situated between Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula in Hong Kong. The harbor’s deep, sheltered waters and strategic location on the South China Sea were instrumental in Hong Kong’s establishment as a British colony and its subsequent development as a trading center.

Throughout its history, the harbor has seen numerous reclamation projects undertaken on both shores, many of which have caused controversy in recent years. Environmental concerns have been expressed about the effects of these expansions, in terms of water quality and loss of natural habitat. It has also been proposed that benefits of land reclamation may be less than the effects of decreased harbor width, affecting the number of vessels passing through the harbor. Nonetheless Victoria Harbor still retains its founding role as a port for thousands of international vessels each year.

Long famous for its spectacular views, the harbor is a major tourist attraction of Hong Kong. Lying in the middle of the territory’s dense urban region, the harbor is the site of annual fireworks displays and its promenades are popular gathering places for tourists and residents.
