Weekend TV "Blind Date" Program

At the weekend, I watched a TV program about "Blind Date" (such TV programs are very popular in China now as more and more singles have limited social circle under the pressure of work). A guy (profession, a company for Chinese group to Europe), young, health, humorous and high-paid was rejected by 19 girls, and the main reason is that he is still living in the apartment which was decorated by his ex-girlfriend. Would this be a problem? I do not think the past should be the main topic between lovers.

One more thing, I was surprised that this guy has been working for more than 200 days this year, double for 2009. How great increase and a big market Chinese traveling aboard is.

West Sea Grand Canyon of the Yellow Mountains Closed in Winter

From December 1 till April 1 of the next year, West Sea Grand Canyon of the Yellow Mountains Scenic Area will be closed to tourists due to snow and maintenance.

As a world heritage site, some spots of the Yellow Mountains (Huangshan), such as West Sea Grand Canyon and Heavenly Capital Peak are closed at some time of the year (usually off season), due to weather conditions and maintenance work.

The Yellow Mountains has seasonal beauties all year round. Winter is cold up on the mountain but the snowscape is great. Because it is the off season, it is less crowded and it is cheaper to travel. Check out our Huangshan tour packages at http://www.chinahighlights.com/huangshan/tours.htm

Manmade Waterfall in Guilin

One of the most attractive evening scenes in Guilin is the manmade waterfall on the exterior wall of Guilin Lijiang Waterfall Hotel, which is a 5-star hotel. The big manmade waterfall, with the height of 45 meters, top width of 72 meters and bottom width of 75 meters, falls from the top of the exterior wall of the hotel, creating a magnificent view. Through the water you can still vaguely see the rooms, lobby and restaurant inside the hotel. This manmade waterfall has been recorded into the World Guinness Book.

 

It is on every night at 20:30, and lasts 10 to 15 minutes. Guilin Lijiang Waterfall Hotel is located beside the city central square. Come to see the waterfall if you visit Guilin. Guilin City is a famous tourist city in China with beautiful natural landscape, karst topography and ethnic customs. See introduction of Guilin City at http://www.chinahighlights.com/guilin/

Large crowds force Forbidden City to rethink ticketing policy

Overwhelmed by a huge number of visitors who flocked to the capital's
Forbidden City during the National Day holiday, authorities at the
590-year-old palace said an e-ticketing system will be introduced next year
to cap entries in a bid to protect the monument. One of China's biggest
tourist attractions, the Palace Museum, as it is also known, received far
more visitors during the seven-day Golden Week holiday than its daily
capacity of 60,000. On Oct 2 alone, some 122,000 people entered through the
gate of the Forbidden City, the Chinese imperial palace from the Ming
Dynasty (1368-1644) to the end of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). Currently,
all tickets to the walled enclosure, located in central Beijing, are sold
manually, which fails to accurately monitor the flow of visitors. "Once the
e-ticketing system is operational, the computer will stop selling tickets if
the number of visitors has reached the museum's maximum capacity," Feng
Nai'en, the museum's assistant director, told China Daily on Wednesday.
