China combines ancient cultural wisdom and architecture with an embrace of modernity and a passion for making life more beautiful. Harmony between human and nature is a core guiding principle; one sees this in the classical Chinese garden (and local park) and the Chinese love for mountains and hiking.

The timeless allure of this unique society is further enhanced by the nuances of 56 ethnic groups and the diverse environments encompassed, from snow-clad moutains to rainforest, to desert, to grassland, to karst peaks and rice terraces, and more.

Whether you're planning a trip or an armchair traveller, doing business with China or an expat, the videos here can help you on life's journey ...

China - not just a country - but a civilization.

ShangHai ?? videos

ShangHai is known for dynamism, style, and its international, modern aspects, yet has historical features too, such as the famous Bund along the HuangPu River, with its colonial era architecture. On the other side of the river lies the futuristic looking PuDong district which has quickly made ShangHai a leading financial center. Yet the city also has many traditional places too, such as the beautiful YuYuan Garden, Jade Buddha Temple and ZhuJiaJiao water town.

Scenes from JiuZhaiGou 九寨沟
JiuZhaiGou Valley (九寨沟), literally `Nine Villages Valley`, is a nature reserve and national park located in the north of SiChuan province, near the GanSu border. JiuZhaiGou is part of the MinShan mountains on the edge of the Tibetan Plateau, and is known for its many multi-level waterfalls, colorful mineral lakes and snow-capped peaks. The elevation ranges from 2,000 to 4,500 meters (6,600 to 14,800 feet). It lies 330 km (205 miles) north of the provincial capital of Chengdu and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This remote region has been inhabited by various Tibetan and Qiang peoples for many centuries. The valleys here are lined with 55 km of roads for shuttle buses, as well as wooden boardwalks and small pavilions. The boardwalks are typically located on the opposite side of the lakes from the roads. Many visitors will first take the shuttle bus to the end of RiZe or ShuZheng valley, then make their way back downhill by foot on the boardwalks, taking the bus when the next site is deemed too distant. JiuZhaiGou is a ten hour bus ride from ChengDu, or one can fly from ChengDu or ChongQing to JiuZhai HuangLong Airport, then take an hour long bus ride to HuangLong, or a 90 minute ride to JiuZhaiGou. There is also a daily flight to Xi`An, in the peak season, and from BeiJing, ShangHai and HangZhou.

A trip to JiaYuGuan 嘉峪关, western end of the Great Wall – video
JiaYuGuan is the first pass at the western end of the Great Wall of China. It lies 6 kilometers southwest of the city of JiaYuGuan in GanSu province. The fortress lies between two hills and near to an oasis that was then on the western edge of China. According to legend, when JiaYuGuan was being planned, the official in charge asked the designer to estimate the number of bricks required; the designer surprised the official by giving him an exact number. The official questioned his judgment, asking him if he was sure that would be enough, so the designer added one brick to the total. When JiaYuGuan was finished, there was one brick left over, which was placed loose on one of the gates, where it remains today. Nearby are the DunHuang Caves (also known as the MoGau Caves); these grottoes date from the 4th century AD and contain Buddhist art from over the next thousand years.

Coming together – the Chinese New Year 中国新年 2017
Also known as the Spring Festival, the Chinese New Year starts on Saturday 28th January this year and on the mainland lasts one week. This year, based on a lunar calendar, will be the Year of the Rooster. Preparations will already be under way and include a spring clean and adding festive decorations. New Year`s Eve and New Year`s Day are a time for family reunions, and for many this means travelling home from the city to the countryside. Chinese New Year is celebrated in many countries and China-towns around the World. GōngXǐ FāCái 恭喜发财 ! The first film, `Coming Together`, is from Malaysia - enjoy ... The Spring Festival is about a new year, a new beginning. A time of renewal, and hope and a fresh start, a time of good-will. For example, fireworks, apart from being a joy to all, are to scare away bad spirits. One can see this symbolize the breaking of old habits of thought – a spring clean of the mind. A new year is a new chance for a better life – if you will take it. Keep your eyes open, heart abundant, and strive for a better world. Help others on their journey whenever you can and always share a smile. It may help another, but it will certainly be good for you. As the second film says, it is love that brings us closer to happiness. Above all, the Spring Festival is a time for family. Next 4 films : 1: `Going Home` ... 2: A touching song about life and friendship (forget the sub-titles, just watch the video). `Beautiful Snow County is my Home` ... 3: `Family Portrait` (from Malaysia) - a wry look at family life in the digital age ... 4: `Don`t be tied to the past, but don`t tear it up` ...

Love is there, if we are ready and open the door. Love is not hard to find (to be); but it is easy to lose. In the end, what we get counts for nothing; it is what we give (leave behind) that matters - and every moment leaves a ripple in the ocean of life. Sneakers are fine; but the bare-foot memories will be most chrished. Love doesn`t just flow to the naturally beautiful; it is those with love in their hearts who shine ; it is love that creates beauty.
