December 20, 2006 - Xmas Tree

Mm, I want to show you the Christmas tree today. Do you see that wall-Xmas tree? It is special a little bit, because it was planted on the corner of the building… :) 

This building is actually an old building which once was some important place before 1945. As  I mentioned, this building locates on the Middle Huai hai road where once belonged to Shanghai French Concession/La concession française de Changhaï . And the French Municipal Council worked in this building since 1935. Now only from its red bricks, it still looks a little bit different from the skyscrapes nearby, and inside it has changed to be the modern shopping mall. The address of the building: Num.381, Huai2 Hai3 Road(Middle), and you’ll find the name of the building: Central Plaze(中环广场,zhong1 huan2 guang3 chang3).  (I will update more information about the French Concession when I am free….go to work!!!) Here is the big photo.

have a nice day, dear folks~~~

Update 16:00, 20th, Dec.
French Concession was settled in 1862 in the city.Actually at that time, that area was just the big piece of land. The town of shanghai was near the Huang2 Pu3 River where now we call it “Temple of the Town God”(城隍庙＝cheng2 huang2 miao4). And the French Concession covered the Lu2 Wan1&Xu2 Hui4 districts.The concession is a pleasant mix of wide tree lined  streets and interesting European style architecture. Huai2 Hai3 Road once was called Avenue Joffre, who was a French General. In Chinese,Avenue Joffre=霞飞路(xia2 fei2 lu4). Oh, long history…i need more time to do more. Hope you like. 

Sorry, my computer was broken last night all of a sudden. I think the problem is serious, i need change maybe the harddisk, or maybe even the computer. :(  So, I have to post in the office. Sorry….Hope I have good luck!!

December 19, 2006 - cold…then, lets share!

Christmas is coming soon. The marvelous festival views could be seen everywhere.
And …
I met this view on the way home …

Isabella (Naples Daily Photo)shared with us a good saying :
“Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas.”– Calvin Coolidge  

Thanks, Isabella, we need to share our happiness with the poor either!

December 18, 2006 - Where are we??

where are we now?? so many bamboos, the scaffolds!! The downtown view?? Unbelievable!!

Background:
In the downtown of the city, there are lots of old buildings which were built around 1920s. Recently, the municipal government is launching a project to repair all the old houses in the city. So it’s easy to see this view when you are walking on the prosperous downtown streets. I took this photo on the Middle Huai2 Hai3 Road(淮海中路). Here available the big photo.

Have a wonderful week ahead~~~
