Shanghai: miscellanea 2013
Tuesday 13th - Sunday 18th August 2013

  Shanghai (上海) is the largest city by population in the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the largest city proper by population in the world.  It is one of the four province-level municipalities of the PRC, with a total population of over 23 million as of 2010.  It is a global city, with influence in commerce, culture, finance, media, fashion, technology, and transport.  It is a major financial center and the busiest container port in the world.
  Located in the Yangtze River Delta in East China, Shanghai sits at the mouth of the Yangtze River in the middle portion of the Chinese coast.  The municipality borders the provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to the north, south and west, and is bounded to the east by the East China Sea.
  For centuries a major administrative, shipping, and trading town, Shanghai grew in importance in the 19th century due to European recognition of its favorable port location and economic potential.  The city was one of several opened to foreign trade following the British victory over China in the First Opium War and the subsequent 1842 Treaty of Nanking which allowed the establishment of the Shanghai International Settlement.  The city then flourished as a center of commerce between east and west, and became the undisputed financial hub of the Asia Pacific in the 1930s.  However, with the Communist Party takeover of the mainland in 1949, trade was reoriented to focus on socialist countries, and the city's global influence declined. In the 1990s, the economic reforms introduced by Deng Xiaoping resulted in an intense re-development of the city, aiding the return of finance and foreign investment to the city.
  Shanghai is a popular tourist destination renowned for its historical landmarks such as The Bund, City God Temple and Yu Garden, as well as the extensive and growing Lujiazui skyline.  It has been described as the "showpiece" of the booming economy of mainland China.  (Referred to the site of "Wikipedia")

Peace Hotel
     The Peace Hotel (和平饭店) is a hotel on The Bund in Shanghai, China which overlooks the Huangpu River.  The hotel today operates as two separate businesses.  The North Building, built as Sassoon House, originally housed the Cathay Hotel and is today the Fairmont Peace Hotel run by Fairmont Hotels and Resorts of Canada.  The South Building was built as the Palace Hotel and is today the Swatch Art Peace Hotel.  The two buildings both face the Bund, but are divided by the famous Nanjing Road, arguably the busiest street in Shanghai.  
  The larger North Building at Number 20, The Bund, is called Sassoon House.  It was built by Sir Victor Sassoon, of the famous Sassoon family who dominated Shanghai business and real estate in the early 20th century.  He was a British Sephardic Jew of Iraqi origin, and his family had extensive business in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Calcutta.  Sassoon House was the first high rise building built by Victor Sassoon.  It was designed by P & T Architects Limited (Palmer and Turner), with a reinforced concrete structure.  It occupied 4617 square metres, with a floor space of 36,317 square metres.  Construction began in 1926 and completed in 1929.  The building is ten storeys in height, partially thirteen storeys, and with a basement.  The total height is 77 metres.  From external design to interior decor, a consistent design scheme was followed.  The building featured extensive use of straight lines in the exterior, with decorative patterns at pediments and eaves.  Most of the building features granite facing, with the ninth floor and the roof surfaced with terracotta.  The eastern facade (facing the Huangpu River and the Bund) features a pyramidal roof with steep sides and a height of about 10 metres.  The pyramid is faced with copper (which is now green).  The building features an "A" shaped cross section.  Before 1949, the ground floor space facing the Bund was leased to two banks.  This space later became the Shanghai branch of Citibank in the 1980s.  The rest of the ground floor featured a shopping arcade.  Two main walkways crossed in the centre at an octagonal hall.  The first to third floor were leased as offices.  Sassoon's companies and subsidiaries had their offices in the fourth floor.  The fifth to seventh floors housed the Cathay Hotel, with rooms decorated in exotic international themes.  The eighth floor housed the main bar, a ball room, and a Chinese restaurant.  The ninth floor is a night club and a small dining hall.  The tenth floor was Victor Sassoon's private apartments.  Within the pyramidal roof was the large dining hall.  Before 1949, the Cathay Hotel was regarded as the most prestigious hotel in Shanghai. Most international envoys visiting Shanghai would stay in the hotel.  After the Communist takeover in 1949, some of the offices were used by the Municipal Finance Committee.  In 1952 the building was taken over by the Municipal Government.  In 1956 it resumed trading as a hotel under the name "Peace Hotel."  In 1992 the Peace Hotel was listed as one of the famous hotels of the world by the World Hotel Association.  It has become particularly renowned for its Old Jazz Band, which recently was the basis for a movie, As Time Goes By, a film by Uli Gaulke, and its roof terrace restaurant, overlooking the now booming district of Pudong across the Huangpu.  In 2007, the hotel closed for a 3-year renovation and the North Building reopened in 2010 as the Fairmont Peace Hotel Shanghai.  The hotel offers 269 deluxe guestrooms and suites with a selection of eight restaurants and lounges.  A low-rise extension has been added to the rear of the hotel, housing guestrooms as well as a sky-lit swimming pool and spa.  The renovation also preserved many elements of its historical 1920's and 1930s past.  
  Separated from the North Building by busy Nanjing Road, the South Building was constructed as the Palace Hotel in 1908 on the site of the Central Hotel, which had been founded on the same site in the 1850s.  When built, the six story hotel was the tallest building on Nanjing Road.  The hotel occupies 2125 square meters, with a floor space of 11607 metres.  It has a brick veneer structure, with six stories reaching 30 meters in height.  The exterior adopts a Renaissance style.  The hotel has around 120 guest rooms.  It also featured two elevators, the first building to do so in Shanghai.  In 1909, the first meeting of the World Anti-Narcotics League was held here.  In 1911, after the success of the Xinhai Revolution, Sun Yat-sen stayed at the hotel and advocated commitment to the revolutionary cause.  During World War II, the building was occupied by the Japanese army.  In 1947 it was purchased by a Chinese company.  After the revolution in 1949 it continued trading until 1952, when it was confiscated and used by the Municipal Construction Department.  In 1965 it resumed trading as a hotel as a wing of the Peace Hotel.  Similar to its counterpart to the north, the South Building was renovated in preparation for the 2010 World Expo.  It emerged as the Swatch Art Peace Hotel. It plays host to gifted artists from around the world who live and work for a limited time in apartment/workshops.  The heritage facade and public rooms of the building have been restored to their original splendor, while the building also features boutiques, a Swatch showroom and the Shook! restaurant and rooftop bar.  (Referred to the site of "Wikipedia")

Former Residence of Dr Sun Yat-sen
     Former Residence of Dr Sun Yat-sen (中山故居)/ The Museum of Dr Sun Yat-sen, 7 Xiangshan Road, Shanghai (上海市卢湾区香山路7号).
  The Former Residence of Sun Yat-sen in Shanghai is a European cottage style house at No. 7, Xiangshan Road (No. 29 Rue de Moliere, then).  It was bought using the fund raised by the Canadian Chinese and presented to Sun Yat-sen.  Sun Yat-sen and his wife Soong Ching Ling moved in the house in June 1918.  After Dr. Sun passed away in 1925, Soong Ching Ling continued to live in the address until 1937.  


  Dr. Sun Yat-sen (孫文/孫中山/孫逸仙; 12 November 1866 – 12 March 1925) was a Chinese revolutionary, first president and founding father of the Republic of China ("Nationalist China").  As the foremost pioneer of Republic of China, Sun is referred to as the "Father of the Nation" in the Republic of China (ROC), and the "forerunner of democratic revolution" in the People's Republic of China.  Sun played an instrumental role in the overthrow of the Qing dynasty during the years leading up to the Double Ten Revolution.  He was appointed to serve as president of the Provisional Republic of China, when it was founded in 1912.  He later co-founded the Kuomintang (KMT), serving as its first leader.  Sun was a uniting figure in post-Imperial China, and remains unique among 20th-century Chinese politicians for being widely revered amongst the people from both sides of the Taiwan Strait  .
  Although Sun is considered one of the greatest leaders of modern China, his political life was one of constant struggle and frequent exile.  After the success of the revolution, he quickly fell out of power in the newly founded Republic of China, and led successive revolutionary governments as a challenge to the warlords who controlled much of the nation.  Sun did not live to see his party consolidate its power over the country during the Northern Expedition.  His party, which formed a fragile alliance with the Communists, split into two factions after his death.  Sun's chief legacy resides in his developing of the political philosophy known as the Three Principles of the People: nationalism, democracy, and the people's livelihood.  (Referred to the site of "Wikipedia")

Yu Yuan
     Yu Yuan (豫园) Garden (Chinese: t 豫園, s 豫园; lit. Garden of Happiness or Garden of Peace) is an extensive Chinese garden located beside the City God Temple in the northeast of the Old City of Shanghai, China.  It abuts the Yuyuan Tourist Mart and is accessible from the Shanghai Metro's Line 10 Yuyuan Garden Station.  A centerpiece is the Exquisite Jade Rock (玉玲珑, Yù Línglóng), a porous 3.3-m, 5-ton boulder.  Rumours about its origin include the story that it was meant for the imperial palace in Beijing, but was salvaged after the boat sank off Shanghai.  
  Yu Garden was first conceived in 1559 during the Ming Dynasty by Pan Yunduan as a comfort for his father, the minister Pan En, in his old age.  Pan Yunduan began the project after failing one of the imperial exams, but his appointment as governor of Sichuan postponed construction for nearly twenty years until 1577.  The garden was the largest and most prestigious of its era in Shanghai, but eventually its expense helped ruin the Pans.  
  The garden was inherited by Zhang Zhaolin, Pan Yunduan's granddaughter's husband, and then passed to different owners.  A section was briefly organised by Zhang Shengqu as the "Academy of Purity and Harmony" (清和书院, Qīng-Hé Shūyuàn) and the Ling Yuan (灵苑, Líng Yuàn, lit. "Spirit Park"), today's East Garden, was purchased by a group of local leaders in 1709.  A group of merchants renovated the increasingly decrepit grounds in 1760 and in 1780 the West Garden was opened to the general public.
  The gardens suffered damage numerous times during the 19th century.  During the First Opium War, the British army used the Huxinting Teahouse as a base of operations for several days in 1842.  During the Taiping Rebellion, the Small Swords Society ran its headquarters in the Dianchun Hall; by the time Qing troops recovered the garden, the original structures had nearly all been destroyed.  They were damaged again by the Japanese in 1942 before being repaired by the Shanghai government from 1956 to 1961.  They were opened to the public in 1961 and declared a national monument in 1982.  (Referred to the site of "Wikipedia")

Yufo Chan-Sì
     Yufo Chan-Sì (玉佛禅寺; Jade Buddha Chan Temple), 170 Anyuan-lu, Jing-an-qu, Shanghai (上海市静安区安远路170号).
  The Jade Buddha Temple (Chinese: 玉佛禅寺; pinyin: Yùfó Chán Sì, literally Jade Buddha Chan Temple) is a Buddhist temple in Shanghai, China.  As with many modern Chinese Buddhist temples, the current temple draws from both the Pure Land and Chan traditions of Mahayana Buddhism.  It was founded in 1882 with two jade Buddha statues imported to Shanghai from Burma by sea.  These were a sitting Buddha (1.95 metres tall, 3 tonnes), and a smaller reclining Buddha representing Buddha's death.  The temple now also contains a much larger reclining Buddha made of marble, donated from Singapore, and visitors may mistake this larger sculpture for the original, smaller piece.
  During the rule of emperor Guang Xu in the Qing Dynasty (1875–1908), Hui Gen, an abbot from Mount Putuo went on a pilgrimage to Tibet via the two famous Chinese mountains Mount Wutai and Mount Emei.  After Tibet, he arrived in Burma.  Whilst there, Mr. Chen Jun-Pu, an overseas Chinese resident in Burma, donated five Jade statues of Buddha to Hui Gen, who transported two of them back to Jiang-wan, Shanghai.  Here Hui Gen had a temple built with donated funds, and died shortly thereafter.  This temple was occupied during the 1911 uprising, and the statues were moved to Maigen Road.  
  An Abbot by the name of Ke Chen later had a new temple built on land donated by Sheng, Xuanhuai.  Mr. Sheng Huaixuan was a senior official in the Qing court, and his father and his uncle were pious Buddhist disciples.  They built houses with thatched roofs at Yizhou Pond by the Zhuanghuabang River in the northeast of Shanghai.  This can be accounted as the predecessor of the monastery.  The construction took ten years, and lasted from 1918-1928.  Ke Chen also invited Reverend Di Xian from Tian Tai mountain to come and lecture on Buddhism in a magnificent ceremony.   In 1956, a ceremony was held at the temple by the Shanghai Buddhist Association to celebrate the 2500th anniversary of Gautama Buddha's enlightenment.  In 1966, during the Cultural Revolution, the monks made a living by selling handicrafts.  In 1983, Shanghai Institute of Buddhism was established at the temple under the Shanghai Buddhist Association.  In 1985, Monk Zhizhi Xuan and others made a trip to Dunhuang via Xinjiang.  Shortly after their return, regular scripture lectures, meditation and other features of temple life were resumed.  (Referred to the site of "Wikipedia")
