Sino Story 7: Nanjing, Xuan Wu Lake

Samsung Electronics has provided the author of this article with the mentioned digital imaging device.

Just around the corner from Nanjing’s bustling Hunan Road is one of Nanjing’s most beautiful natural attractions the Xuan Wu Lake (Chinese: 玄武湖 Xuan Wu Hu). This large lake divides Nanjing’s Gulu district from the Nanjing Train Station, and also sits at the foot of Mt. Zhongshan. Although the has changed names many times throughout history, it was finally dubbed “Xuan Wu” due to legend of the black dragon that is said to live in the bottom of the lake.

Xuan Wu Lake features a lovely park and public space near the front gate (Xuan Wu Men), the Ji Ming Temple, a walking section of the Nanjing Wall, and five islands situated in the middle of the lake. Xuan Wu Lake is a must see tourist location in Jiang Su Province, but also serves as a particularly lovely recreation point for Nanjing locals.

South Africa – From Cape Town to Winelands

Samsung Electronics has provided the author of this article with the mentioned digital imaging device.

My group has decided to spend a day in the wine valley to discover how the good South African wine is produced.

Samsung ST550(TL225) │ 1/180s │ f3.5 │ 4.9mm │ ISO 80

From Cape Town we went to Stellenbosch, situated about 50 kilometers east. It is the second oldest European settlement in the Western Cape province.

Samsung ST550(TL225) │ 1/15s │ f3.5 │ 4.9mm │ ISO 400

The South African wine industry produces about 1,000,000,000 litres of wine annually. Stellenbosch is the primary location for viticulture and viticulture research.

The small city looks like a cenarium. The time seems to be stopped there.

Samsung ST550(TL225) │ 1/180s │ f9.1 │ 4.9mm │ ISO 80

We visited the Village Museum. It shows the four historical Stellenbosch house’s built in four different city moments:

THE SCHREUDEURHUIS – 1680 – 1720

BLETTERMANHUIS – 1750 – 1790

GROSVENOR HOUSE – 1800 to 1830

OM BERGH – 1850 – 1870

Samsung ST550(TL225) │ 1/350s │ f4.9 │ 16.3mm │ ISO 80

We visited three different wine yards and understood a little bit more about wine production…

All vineyards offer wine tasting, we taste lots of kinds of wine and almost got drunk.

The third post will be…from Wineland to Durban…

South Africa – Cape Town

Samsung Electronics has provided the author of this article with the mentioned digital imaging device.

I’ve just started work in a new architecture practice and suddenly I travelled to South Africa for a short period of work!

The mission was discover how the FIFA WORLD CUP is organized, how the city is transformed just for 4 weeks…why the South Africans had been so proud to host this big event…

Samsung ST550(TL225) │ 1/180s │ f/3.5 │ ISO 80 │ 4.9mm

This new architecture practice is involved in some stadium projects for 2014 FIFA WORLD CUP BRAZIL, so nothing better than visit a previous host country to learn!

We went to South Africa to visit three cities: Cape Town, Durban and Jo’burg.

Cape Town is an amazing city. We Brazilians say that CT is an Rio de Janeiro that who worked!

The city is guarded by imposing Table Mountain.

Samsung ST550(TL225) │ 1/350s │ f/4.4 │ ISO 80 │ 13.7mm

As a foreigner view, the city is perfect, but is known that the recent past is still present in everyday society.

The Cape Town Stadium is located in a place called Green Point, where before the WC, was a Golf field and the old Green Point Stadium.

It’s almost 2500m far from the city centre.

Samsung ST550(TL225) │ 1/500s │ f/4.9 │ ISO 80 │ 16.3mm

Despite of The Fan Fest area organized in the city centre, the point for tourists was the Waterfront, a place where there are lots of good restaurants and shops, but in this place, you feel that you are in London, Paris, or other European country, not in South Africa.

Let’s go back to the main interest in this trip…the stadiums.

The Cape Town Stadium – Green Point -”African Reinassence Stadium – is an amazing structure!

Designed for almost 66000 spectators, the stadium was the main stage for important games, as the semi-final…

Unfortunately…the stadium pictures were in my stolen memory card…so have a look in a few city pictures.

Let me keep some more information for the next posts…Wine Valley…

Sino-Story 6: Nanjing, Hunnan Road

Samsung Digital Imaging has provided the author of this article with the mentioned digital imaging device.

Welcome to the heart of Nanjing, China. This medium-sized city (by Chinese standards) might not be on the list of essential stops for foreign tourists visiting China for the first time, however Nanjing has plenty to offer and might be worth reconsidering. One Sunday afternoon, I spent a few hours strolling about the city trying to experience the flavor of the Nanjing first-hand. I immediately found that the pedestrian street at Hunan Road is a perfect venue for observing modern and traditional lifestyles coming to point.

[Samsung ST550(TL225) 1/60sㅣf5.5ㅣISO 120ㅣ10.4mm]

Standing on this street you immediately notice the huge neon signs cluttering the view over-head and the numerous snack-vendor stands at street-level. Even in the light of day the visual impact is quite overwhelming, but like Las Vegas can only be truly appreciated after dark.

One of my favorite activities in China is eating local foods, especially street-food. These quick and cheap snack foods can be purchased from vendors with carts, wagons, or establish food counters in small shops at roadside. Many of these foods are unique domestic treats, and should be tried if only for the experience. Personally, I recommend the “bing tang hulu,” which is series of red, sugar glazed, round fruits on a skewer. Like a Chinese version of the American candied apple, yet with a flavor that is both sweet and tart. One can’t help but notice that Chinese street-food often comes on a stick and walking on a street crowded with people carrying sharp skewers feels just a little dangerous!

Located just a few hours by train from Shanghai, Nanjing is a worthy destination in terms of unique history, tourist attractions, and a glimpse into modern Chinese lifestyles. Hunan Road is an essential first stop in Nanjing, even if you only visit the city for a day or weekend. (John F Rash / RASHPHOTO / 叶摄)
