SinoHotelReservation.com . why creat a travel company for foreigners?

Published by winser under About SHR/网站动态, Web 2.0

good question.
Well,China and Chinese always are difficult to know for some expats. it is really that difficult?or just because some reason,then what is the reasons?
My friend,Elliott Ng wrote a post on CNReviews.com, tittled on Mind the Gap at 14:28: the Three Day Mourning Period and the American Twitterati,the URL is : http://tinyurl.com/6kqb72 .and Paul wrote another post on China affaires ,which is Let’s See How Many Ways We Can Get This Wrong, at http://tinyurl.com/5fu5gy . the debates are interesting. the difference is quite huge. I thought I should tell more about China to the foreingers. and let them come to see this country by their own eyes.

the most famous local snack in Xi an

凉皮 Liang pi

陕西女孩最爱的当地小吃,既便宜又好吃~

肉加馍 Rou jia mo

是不是很想咬一口类?

锅盔 Guo kui

        锅盔源于外婆给外孙贺弥月赠送礼品,后发展成为风味方便食品。锅盔整体呈圆形,直径尺许,厚1寸,重5斤。料取麦面精粉,压秆和面,浅锅慢火烘烤。 外表斑黄,切口砂白,酥活适口,能久放,便携带。
  关于锅盔的典故:传说唐代官兵在为武则天修建乾陵时,因工程浩大,民工甚众,非常忙碌,烹食困难几乎没有吃中饭的时间,所以官兵以头盔为炊具来烙面饼。故取名“锅盔”。

Biang biang 面

this is Biang

在陕西吃面,要学会这个字,顺口溜:

[一] 一点飞上天,黄河两边弯;八字大张口,言字往里走,左一扭,右一扭;西一长,东一长,中间加个马大王;心字底,月字旁

,留个勾搭挂麻糖;推了车车走咸阳。

[二] 一点上了天,黄河两道弯,八字大张口,言字往里走,左一扭、右一扭,中间夹个言篓篓,你也长、我也长,里面坐个马大王

,心字底,月字旁,留个钩搭挂麻糖,推个车子游咸阳。

 [三] 老鸦一点飞上天,门口黄河两道弯。中间八字大张口,口出一言往里走,你在东边纽一纽,我在西边纽一纽。左长长,右长长

,中间霸着马大王。月旁心底留个钩,担挂麻糖走咸阳,坐个车车逛西安。

 [四] 一点上了天,黄河两道湾,八字大张口,言字往进走,你一扭我一扭,你一长我一长,当中加个马大王,心字底月字旁,挂个丁丁

叫马杠,坐着车车逛咸阳。

[五] 一点飞上天, 河水流两边,八字大张口, 言字往里走,左扭扭,右扭扭, 你家长,我家长, 当中夹个马大王, 心衬底,月

照光, 留个勾搭挂麻糖, 坐上车车逛咸阳。

    Love Diqing 爱在迪庆-a friend’s holidayin Yunnan

    Published by winser under Diqing/迪庆

    She works in NGOCN based in Kunming,Yunnan province. but she told me she didnt goto the Shangri-La(Chinese:香格里拉,Hanyu Pinyin:Xiang Ge Li La) before.  Recently,she managed to goto Diqing. on the way back to Kunming,she already begain miss the feeling in Diqing. then she wrote her love Diqing as follow, but totally in Chinese. Hope you can read. I must tell you, Her writing skills are great. I am persuading her to write some English later.

    如果不曾相见,人们就不会相恋;如果不曾相知,怎会受这相思的熬煎。

    六世达赖仓央嘉措的一句情诗,却是道出了我对中甸(现名香格里拉)的眷恋。她就如同我心中的玛吉阿米:温柔、妩媚、开朗、泼辣,又像我心中的康巴汉子:豪爽、直率、宽广、霸道。

    与她的初次相见,是在2007年的4月,那着实不是一个相遇的好时节。迪庆还在冬季,草都枯黄枯黄的,天气也冷。但,至今都还记得在翻山越岭后,当汽车缓缓驶入中甸,攀爬上那片高原时,我那份从内心向外透出的喜悦。仿佛浑身每个毛孔都张开了嘴巴在笑,以至于周围的人都被我感染得明朗起来。仅仅两天的停留,却让我无可救药地爱上了这片土地。

    如同对一个恋人一般梦绕魂牵,今年的8月,苦苦等待很久的假期终于到来,迫不及待地冲向迪庆,此行要圆我心存已久的梦想:拜谒卡瓦格博神山。

    8月份是云南的雨季,出发前有很多朋友提醒我,这时候去迪庆,不仅会连日下雨或阴天,更是最难见到卡瓦格博神山真容的季节。既然决定了,还是打好行装出发,只是在出发前就开始祈祷:“卡瓦格博神,若你觉得我还不恶,就显出­真容,让我一拜吧。我会好好修自己的心,做­更多的事……” 就这样一路祈祷着,在20­下午傍晚到了德钦,心中忐忑不安,这时,车­窗外,卡瓦格博的真容出现在我的眼前。­的祈祷应了!止不住泪水流下来。卡瓦格博­那仁慈宽厚的胸怀感染了我,自己的心顿时开­阔起来,一切的一切在这一刻都轻轻放下了。

     

    迪庆,我生命中的梦境,望着她的眼睛,心底的尘埃难逃劫数;在他的怀抱里,漂泊的心有了归宿;伴在她的身边,欢乐痛苦都甘之若饴,听着他的歌声,心似小鸟飞翔……

     

    “在那东山顶上,升起白白的月亮,年轻姑娘的面容,浮现在我的心上。”对迪庆的爱,怕是此生难减。

    崇明地质公园 Brief introduction of Chongming Geological Theme park,Shanghai

    Published by seasky under Shanghai trip/上海旅游

     滩、湖、塘、河、沟、泥、坝……这些丰富的地质遗址,正是崇明岛地质公园的“名片”。公园拥有丰富的地质遗迹和绚丽的湿地生态景观,东西宽约为76公里,南北宽约13-18公里,面积约1200平方公里。集中展现了淤泥质潮滩地貌、大河口分叉地貌、河口湿地生态等景观。园内系统纪录了260万年来海平面的变化;古老的沙堤、完整的历代海塘、避潮墩见证了上海的海陆变迁。西沙湿地与东滩湿地不同,周而复始的潮汐现象,是西沙湿地赖以生存的重要条件。潮水一涨一落的时间平均为12小时24分钟。因为潮汐,这里形成了丰富的地形地貌,湿地中港汊纵横,具有湖泊、泥滩、内河、芦苇丛、沼泽等不同的湿地形态。另外,潮汐的涨落还孕育了湿地里多样性的动物,比如迁徙到来的候鸟和随着潮汐而来的沙蟹。大片大片的芦苇,望不到尽头的木制栈道,海风劲吹,笔直地延展。隔着高高的芦苇丛,能听见近处的人声,想看看讲话的人,当然是徒劳,嬉闹的笑声掺夹着偶尔低低地掠过芦苇丛的鸟的暗语。整齐出动的小螃蟹以横跑为乐,空气是怎么大口呼吸都不满足的。在公园里,除了看鸟,我们把最多的时间花在了螃蟹上。不光观赏,还必须是动手抓的。很明显,这是一项技术含量很高的工作……呵呵。芦苇、水牛、白鹭、海塘,螃蟹。那古老的河堤、优美的沙坡、独特的芦苇湿地植被,美丽的西沙日落,将会给每个人留下难忘的记忆……
