Interview ( Zhang Huiling(张会玲), female, Outdoor enthusiast )I think this event is fantastic. And for middle aged people like us, it is easy and interesting to join in the activities. I feel younger than before. I hope they can make some changes to the traffic issues. It is not very convenient to arrive at the park. They should make it more comfortable for tourists.

| Ep.20-China's Intangible Cultural Heritage -- BONTV Posted: 25 Jul 2012 10:32 PM PDT | China has 36 UNESCO world heritage sites and masterpieces. The first site listed by UNESCO was Kuqu (昆曲), a once popular opera house during the 16thto 18thcentury, which went into decline during the late 20th century. Since Kuqu was listed by UNESCO in 2001, the area has prospered economically, and a greater number of travelers have gone off to learn about traditional Chinese opera in the area. In 2009, 22 additional sites were listed by UNESCO, but failed to raise the type of national attention that Kuqu received. China's cultural heritage also includes traditional legends, festivals, customs and beliefs. Many Chinese experts and folk artists don't just want to collect and document these art forms, but are making an effort to bring them back to life. Many local government bodies invest in local cultural heritage sites in order to protect and develop them as possible tourists' attractions. But, this all depends on whether the younger generation is willing to inherit local cultural traditions and whether or not the old legends and beliefs can move the hearts of a modern generation. | Views: 1 0 ratings | | Time: 00:49 | More in Travel & Events |

Hundreds of group buying websites have shut down, which to some extent highlights the awkward position of current existing businesses. In August 2011, sales of the national online group buying market reached 200 million dollars. | Views: 0 0 ratings | | Time: 02:58 | More in News & Politics |
