Throughout the city, you can see all kinds of peonies with colors ranging from red, pink and white to the rarest dark. When spring arrives, the whole city is soaked in the sweet smell of peony. In 1982, it was defined as the city flower of Luoyang and at the same time, a decision was made to hold an annual peony fair festival in Luoyang from April 15 to 25, concurrently with lantern shows and other forms of entertainment. During the festival, people from all corners meet in Luoyang to see the peonies and so the city livens up with a spectacle of seas of flowers and tides of people.

In April, you can enjoy yourself in the streets, on Peony Square, in Peony Park and Xiyuan Park. But the most famous place to view and admire the Luoyang Peony is Wangcheng Park.

Located on both banks of Jian River on the north side of the western reach of Zhongzhou Road, Wangcheng Park gains its name only because it is now on the relics of the Imperial City in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Covering an area of 67 hectares, it is the largest comprehensive park in Luoyang.

There is a zoo, peony yards, swimming pools and an under-ground exhibition room of the Han Tomb. In the peony yards on both sides of Jian River, there are thousands of rare and precious peonies named “”Yellow yao “and “Purple wei”. These two peony yards become the main spot of the annual peony fair.

The ancient architectural complex in the western part of the park fully displays the lingering charm of the Zhou’s architectural style. The tablet named Hetu and Luoshu is another attractive spot there. Hetu and Luoshu is a famous legend of ancient Chinese civilization. Some 6,000 to 7,000 years ago, a horse with a picture-scroll named Hetu on its back sprang out of the Yellow River, and an immortal turtle with a book named Luoshu on its back swam in the Luo River. Later, Fuxi, known as the ancestor of human beings, deducted the Eight Diagrams of Yin and yang (the positive and negative) and thus the universe was divided into two, the Heaven and the Earth. However, according to the doctrine of Luoshu, Dayu, the first king of the Chinese Nation, drew up a constitution named “Hong Fan Jiu Chou” to rule the country and from then on began the Chinese civilization. So during every Pure Brightness Festival-held in the 5th of the 24 solar terms, personages of various circles gather here to worship their common ancestors.

The event will also attach much importance on the increasing role that emerging economies play in the global financial arena. Several issues related to Corporate Governance, Risk Management and Regulatory Compliance will be discussed at the conference including How the Markets Can Drive Asia’s Recovery, Reforming the International Financial System and the Role of Emerging Markets, Balancing Financial Innovation, Openness and Oversight, Future of Cleantech and Managing in Periods of Volatility.

About 1600 people from government offices, companies, media relatives will appear to this forum. Global Sanya Travel Agency knows from the official news issuance that there are more than 450 reporters from 140 media relatives and 600 national leaders of 2009 annual conference. This total number is more than ever before.

In the GuiZhou,one south east province of China,The people have a wonderful skill,
called “Drift on a SINGLE BAMBO”.

The person need two bamboo,one for drift,one for balance.

Tourists to Guizhou province of southwest China often first want to see Huangguoshu - Yellow Fruit Tree - Falls, one of the world’s most spectacular.

Also popular are the caves of Long Gong - Dragon Palace - or the Zunyi meeting site where the Chinese Communist Party reached maturity in 1935. Other noted attractions include Buddhist mountain of Fanjing and rivers that have been creating canyons for millennia.

But scenery is only part of the experience - ethnic villages interspersed throughout add to the allure:

Yunshantun village at Anshun: Today’s local villagers are descendants of fort soldiers under Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). The fort is still there today, its door made from stone and its walls hard enough to repel attackers. Women of the village wear the silk belts, white leggings and embroidered boots with an eagle’s head is vividly stitched on top.

Xijiang village on Leishan Mountain: One of the largest Miao villages in China, it has thousands of traditional houses. In the year of the tiger it celebrates the Guzang festival - just once every 13 years.

Zhaoxing village at Liping: Traditional Dong homes made from wood without a single nail can reach 25 m in height. Pictures drawn on interior walls depict people and scenery to tell the story of their culture. The village is divided into five sectors according to concepts - Ren (kindness), Yi (loyalty), Li (ritual), Zhi (wisdom) and Xing (credibility).

Stone village at Zhenning: People of the Bouyei minority make their homes from stone. From a distance the village looks like shining silver. On arrival, tourists often find Bouyei girls dyeing fabric along the valley.

Other sites include Longga village at Liuzhi, where a branch of Miao girls wear wood horns; Langde village at Leishan with its cobblestone roads; a Dong village called Xiaohuang at Congjiang, where troupes of singers from the local Dong minority perform their distinctive melodies; and Luoga village at Weining, where the Yi people make masks as they have for thousands of years.

Because of its strategic location astride the Silk Road, the Western Regions have been historically significant since at least the 3rd century BC. It was the scene of conflict between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu until the middle of the 2nd century.

The region became significant in later centuries as a cultural conductor between East Asia, the Indian subcontinent, the Islamic World and the West. One of the most significant exports of the Western Regions was Buddhism, which was carried by traders and pilgrim monks to China. The Tang Dynasty monk Xuanzang crossed the region on his way to study in India, penning the classic Great Tang Records of the Western Regions upon his return to the Tang capital Chang’an.

In the 18th century, the Qing Dynasty conquered part of this region and put it under military administration. In 1884, the region was established as a province under the name Xinjiang.

the history of Dunhuang
Dunhuang was made a prefecture in 117 BC by Emperor Han Wudi, and was a major point of interchange between China and the outside world during the Han and Tang dynasties. Located near the historic junction of the Northern and Southern Silk Roads, it was a town of military importance. Its name is mentioned as part of the homeland of the Yuezhi or “Rouzhi” (月氏) in the Shiji (史記), but this mention has also been identified with an unrelated toponym, Dunhong. Edges of the city are threatened with being engulfed by the expansion of the Kumtag Desert, which is resulting from longstanding overgrazing of surrounding lands.[1]

Early buddhist monks accessed Dunhuang via the ancient Northern Silk Road, the northernmost route of about 2600 kilometres in length, which connected the ancient Chinese capital of Xi’an to the west over the Wushao Ling Pass to Wuwei and emerging in Kashgar.[2] For centuries Buddhist monks at Dunhuang collected scriptures from the west, and many pilgrims passed through the area, painting murals inside the Mogao Caves or “Caves of a Thousand Buddhas.”[3] A small number of Christian artifacts have also been found in the caves (see Jesus Sutras), testimony to the wide variety of people who made their way along the silk road. Today, the site is an important tourist attraction and the subject of an ongoing archaeological project. A large number of manuscripts and artifacts retrieved at Dunhuang have been digitized and made publicly available via the International Dunhuang Project.

Dunhuang city centre
Dunhuang’s city centre is relatively highly developed, including much commercial activity and many hotels. Bookshops and other souvenir shops sell materials relating to the Caves and the history of the region.

A night market is held in the city centre, popular with tourists. Many souvenir items are sold, including such typical items as jade, jewelry, scrolls, hangings, small sculptures, and the like. A sizable number of members of China’s ethnic minorities engage in business at these markets. A Central Asian dessert or sweet is also sold, consisting of a large, sweet confection made with nuts and dried fruit, sliced into the portion desired by the customer.

Jiayu Pass is the first pass at the west end of the Great Wall of China, near the city of Jiayuguan in Gansu province. It has also been called “Jiayuguan Pass”; however, this form is redundant since “guan” means “pass” in Chinese. Along with Juyongguan and Shanhaiguan, it is one of the main passes of the Great Wall

The pass is located at the narrowest point of the western section of the Hexi Corridor, 6 kilometers southwest of the city of Jiayuguan in Gansu. The structure lies between two hills, one of which is called Jiayuguan Hill. It was built near an oasis that was then on the extreme western edge of China.

The pass is trapezoid-shaped with a perimeter of 733 meters and an area of more than 33,500 square meters. The total length of the city wall is 733 meters and the height is 11 meters.

There are two gates: one on the east side of the pass, and the other on the west side. On each gate there is a building. An inscription of “Jiayuguan” in Chinese is written on a tablet at the building at the west gate. The south and north sides of the pass are connected to the Great Wall. There is a turret on each corner of the pass. On the north side, inside the two gates, there are wide roads leading to the top of the pass.

Jiayuguan consists of three defense lines: an inner city, an outer city and a moat.

A fabulous legend recounts the meticulous planning involved in the construction of the pass. According to legend, when Jiayuguan was being planned, the official in charge asked the designer to estimate the exact number of bricks required and the designer gave him a number. The official questioned his judgment, asking him if that would be enough, so the designer added one brick. When Jiayuguan was finished, there was one brick left over, which was placed loose on one of the gates where it remains today.

The structure was initially built during the early Ming dynasty, sometime around the year 1372. The fortress there was greatly strengthened due to fear of an invasion by Timur, but Timur died of old age while leading an army toward China.

Among the passes on the Great Wall, Jiayuguan is the most intact surviving ancient military building. The pass is also known by the name the “First and Greatest Pass Under Heaven” ,which is not to be confused with the “First Pass under Heaven”,a name for Shanhaiguan at the east end of the Great Wall near Qinhuangdao, Hebei.

The pass was a key waypoint of the ancient Silk Road.

Jiayuguan has a somewhat fearsome reputation because Chinese people who were banished were ordered to leave through Jiayuguan for the west, never to return.[citation needed]

Around Jiayuguan there are many historic sites such as the Mogao Caves. Many frescos were found in the areas around Jiayuguan
