Travel All The China East To West Urumqi Beijing Tour

Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in northwest China, is just like a piece of emerald embedded at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains. With a population of two million gaily-dressed ethnic inhabitants, This graceful prairie city is an important stop along the ancient Silk Road, leading to the Central Asia and even as far as Europe.
Urumqi
The city lies in the lofty ice-capped Bogda Peak with vast Salt Lake to the east, the rolling pine-covered Southern hill to the south, and the alternating fields and sand dunes of Zunggar Basin to the northwest.
The temperature in the area widely ranges between day and night as it belongs to the semi-arid continental climate of middle temperate zone. The climate is extremely arid due to long period of sunlight and bare precipitation. It has shorter spring and autumn; and longer winter and summer. May to October is the golden season to visit it, when flowers are in full bloom and the fruits, like melons, are ripe with its fragrance. Here we should indicate that there are two hours time difference between Xinjiang and Beijing. The local working time is usually from 09:30 or 10:00. You had better not start your visit before 08:00 in the morning since it is still dark at that time.

A Show Worth Seeing When You Come To Hangzhou

The stage for this show is set at the lake's edge and the show takes place on a platform just below the surface of the water. A large boat and a series of sinister boatmen move on the water while the
Hangzhou WestLake
performers walk or run on the platform, but the impression is of people walking or running on the water. The lighting is excellent and the music suits the action. Many of the props for the show are amazing. The most impressive is the hydraulic triangular arm which lifts out of the water emitting a misty spray illuminated by a series of coloured floodlights. There are some outstanding sequences, especially the drumming scene. There are a large number of performers with excellent costumes and props. The problem with this show is that the action is a long way from the audience and this detracts from the sophistication of the show. 
The show takes place at night so be prepared for spring showings as it can be very cold and the seating is in the open.

Culture Restaurant Shaguoju


Shaguoju was set up in the 6th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty or 1741, and mainly offered "Plain Meat in a Casserole". According to the historical records, "Plain Meat" was the top-class sacrifice used in the palaces of the Qing Dynasty. Shaguoju was located in the watchman's house outside the prince's mansion where the night watchmen were given the leftovers after
Bean curd with almond
sacrificial ceremonies. Later the watchmen asked the chef from the mansion to boil the meat in a big casserole with traditional Manchu cooking methods as braising, singeing and plain boiling, thus the Plain Meat Casserole came into being and continued its fame for three hundred years.
Chefs of Shaguoju, by using the plain boiled meat, cooked various dishes such as: the "All Pork Banquet", Deep Fried Pork and Liver, Fried Pork, Tossed Pork Skin and Jelly Fish, and Marinated Pork Intestine. Dishes made of gut are extremely famous.
Dishes cooked in a casserole are tender but not greasy and they taste even more delicious if dipped with the specially made sauce. In those years, there were some local sayings about Shaguoju indicating the popularity of its food, such as: "it is already too late when the sun rises" and "the spanner of Shaguoju closes at noon".
With a hundred-year development, the casserole dishes of Shaguoju are even richer in variety. Besides pork dishes made with cooking methods of stewing, singeing and boiling, chicken, fish, shrimp, crab, sea cucumber, shark's fin and seafood are all included in casserole dishes. There are also plain or milky sauces and meat or vegetable dishes. In addition, Shaguoju offers a "Court Dish" which is a Beijing food and full of Beijing flavor.
