    Central Axis of the Imperial City thru TS

    This picture was taken quite during last summer, I was standing high above inside a building in Beijing back then. As you can see clearly, there two obvious traditional Chinese architectures to the right of this photo, they are the Bell Tower and the Drum Tower, which I try to emphasize in this shot. What you might not see is some thing far ahead behind the little hill in this picture, which locates the Forbidden City that used to serve as the imperial palace for China's last two dynasties, Ming Dynasty & Qing Dynast, over 600 years. The little hill is where the Jingshan Park is, which used to be an imperial park for the imperial families in the past just like the Beihai Park located right across it to the other direction. Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, Jingshan Park, Drum Tower, and Bell Tower lining up together, forming the well-known Central Axis of Beijing, which is currently under the application for UNESCO World Heritage Site right now.

    (PS: Beijing is the city with the most UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the world today.)

    I have to say that, photography is just so great, it even teaches us the lesson and story of the past through what we shot today.

Top 10 nude models in China

Image
Nudity in art and nude modeling were introduced into China almost one century ago. When famed Chinese painter Liu Haisu became the first to initiate a figure drawing course at a Shanghai art school in 1917, he immediately triggered public uproar and widespread controversy in regards to nude modeling. Since then, China has become much more open to nude modeling, especially when we think back on the 1928 slashing of a nude model by her father for posing for internationally renowned Chinese photographer Lang Jingshan who took the country's first artistic nude shot . However, even though the Chinese have gotten more at ease with the idea of modeling in the nude since 1928, it still remains quite the controversial career path to take in China. Every time some nude picture appears, the public nudity debate gets stirred up again and sometimes violence may even ensue. Some think that it's shameful and the models just get naked for the so-called sake of art to make easy-money and ...

It has increased rare earth export quotas by 10,680 tonnes, the Ministry of Commerce said Thursday. The announcement brings the total quotas issued so far this year to 21,226 tonnes. Rare earths are a collection of 17 elements used in products from smartphones to hybrid cars. China, the biggest miner of rare earths, capped exports at 30,184 tonnes last year. It said the quotas were designed to conserve resources and protect the environment. Beijing is embroiled in trade disputes with the US, Japan and the European Union over its control of rare earths. However, only about half of last year's quota was used, according to the ministry. China normally allocates rare earth resources in two s...
