An awesome video - don't miss it ! With ClaireTrips ... Bonus films - ChenJiaPu 陈家沟 'wild' Great Wall ... Hiking the 'wild wall' is technically illegal for conservation reasons, and safety concerns. However, permits are available. It is recommended to go with a guide; 'dangerous' is not hype in places like JianKou - be careful - don't go alone, take your time, have a mobile and water with you, etc.

A film by the University Studies Abroad Consortium (USAC) ... Shanghai is one of the world's great cities. Its night skyline boasts thousands of colorful high rises, revealing the modern face of China—one of sophistication, big business, vibrant art and culture, and fine cuisine. At night, it becomes a spectacular cacophony of 60-story neon canvases where high-tech graphic artists try to outdo each other with dazzling displays. Armani, Sony-Erickson, Starbucks, Canon, Ikea, Dell, IBM, Hitachi, and Toshiba are just some of the businesses competing with gargantuan high definition plasma screens. They serve as a constant reminder and visual testimony of Shanghai's startling transformation from heavy industry to services, logistics, and high technology. Since market restrictions were lifted, ShangHai has embraced the forces of business and design, shaping a fresh, new city that is sophisticated and innovative, defying the stereotypical notions of China.

JīnShānLǐng Great Wall lies in HeBei province, about two hours north east from BeiJing city.

Too many things to cover, but one is the attempt to portray China as 'hiding something' and that according to 'reports' (never cited, but no doubt intel fronts) things are 'really bad' ('trust us' - lol). This is a good example of where 'news' is not really news at all, but the attempt to instigate uprising by pedaling false information. In one of its latest salvos, it notes one young death of a celebrity and then adds some more, all of which were over 80. One could explain why this is so absurd, but it is obvious. That is one reason why BB recommends Chinese people to not travel to, study in, or invest in, the UK (a small US puppet island off the west coast of Europe). Still want to go to the UK ? Remember that if you get stabbed (common), you could be waiting over 24 hours for an ambulance, spend many more hours lying in it before being off-loaded onto a trolley in a hospital corridor, before maybe being treated (if still alive). That's how it is there; just so you know. See the BBC ; ) No wonder they need to try and divert one's attention with smoke and mirrors (lies) ... So, which country really has the health crisis ???
