Welcome to Shanghai! China's most populous city, and home to our school. Our city is a vibrant and bustling metropolis with a rich history and culture, and I’m excited to introduce you to both Shanghai and my school.

Shanghai, the largest city in China, is located on the eastern coast of the country and has a population of over 24 million people. The city is a global financial hub and a major center for trade and commerce. It has a rich cultural heritage and is famous for its unique blend of traditional and modern architecture, as well as its mouth-watering cuisine.

My school, Shanghai Wenlai International School, located in the suburb of the city, is one of the official-credited international educational school in China. With annoying traditional executive level teachers’ control, we have thousands of limits. However, people in our department still designed life with plenty of fizz and sparkle. Passion normally get sparked by various festivals like Super SWIS, Halloween, and Carnival.

Shanghai is a city of contrasts, with towering skyscrapers and traditional temples standing side by side. The city is also known for its beautiful parks and gardens, such as the famous Yu Garden, which dates back to the 16th century. If you want to enjoy Shanghai food like Xiao Long Bao, visit old towns like Qi Bao Lao Jie. Those Jiangnan (Southern part of China) water life vibe can bring you back to ancient China.

In addition to its cultural attractions, Shanghai is also a shopper's paradise. The city boasts some of the largest and most modern shopping malls in the world, as well as charming street markets where you can find unique and handmade souvenirs to take home. Many high-class vintage shops locate in Jingan, Xuhui, and Huangpu District.

My favorite part of Shanghai its vibrant and dynamic nightlife, offering a plethora of entertainment options for locals and tourists alike. As the sun sets, the city comes alive with neon lights illuminating the towering skyscrapers and bustling streets. From chic rooftop bars and nightclubs to traditional Chinese tea houses and street food vendors, there is something for everyone. For a more immersive experience, visitors can explore the lively Xintiandi and French Concession neighborhoods, where they can find trendy restaurants, live music venues, and dance clubs that cater to different tastes and preferences. Whether you're looking for a quiet evening or a wild night out, Shanghai has it all.

Overall, Shanghai is a city that is both modern and traditional, and offers visitors a unique blend of culture, culture, and modernity. I sincerely hope that you one day will visit and experience my city and school for yourself, and I am confident that you will fall in love with Shanghai, just like I have.

explore modes of traditional Chinese cultural pools

Most of my visual inspiration for the pool comes from the pool structures of the Ming and Qing dynasties in history, and the late Qing structure has a greater influence.

A large number of historical documents and images show that, different from the pond bank forms that are dominated by natural twists and turns seen in Jiangnan garden relics today, there have been a large number of square ponds with straight water banks in history. Quchi is a common form of water management. The appreciation of the square pond in the garden does not lie in the form of visually straight pond banks, but in the acquisition of the pool surface and the appreciation of the water features, especially the appreciation of nature from the water features such as sky light and cloud shadows, and fish swimming. of inner feelings. Different from the curved ponds, which are often made by using existing natural water bodies, square ponds are generally newly dug ponds. Because of their simple construction, low cost, and easy maintenance, they are mainly a practical choice. Visual form appreciation is irrelevant.

In the late Ming Dynasty, with the sudden emergence of the concept of "painting" in gardening, the attention to the form of scenery rose sharply. Feng Jin pointed out that the use of "jing" in the early days started from poetry and was greatly influenced by poetry, and poetry was not mainly visual, so the concept of "jing" was far from being limited to vision; after the late Ming Dynasty, with the influence of landscape painting on gardening Dominating and focusing on visual form has become an important orientation for landscape construction. For example, Li Yu's "instant noodle window" in the early Qing Dynasty was almost entirely a visual pursuit, without the emphasis on "emotion" as Jicheng. The aforementioned "trees as houses" and "square ponds", which did not pay attention to the visual form, became less and less after the late Ming Dynasty, which was related to the change of the way of appreciation. The tendency of contemporary understanding of "scenery" to be "equal to vision" can also be explained by history, which has a certain continuity with the way of understanding since the Qing Dynasty.

Taste Jiangnan Restaurant Nanjing, Interior Design

Taste Jiangnan Restaurant, Nanjing

27 May 2022

Tasting closely links with simmering in terms of delicacy.

Architects: LDH Design

Location: 50th floor of Golden Eagle International Hotel, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China

Taste Jiangnan Restaurant, Golden Eagle International Hotel, Nanjing

Simmering means making delicacies with small firepower in a slow way to stimulate beautiful experience from food, and tasting means enjoying delicacies from good simmering practice. They mutually have a relationship of cause and effect. Taste Jiangnan not only is about the meaning of words, but also contains the life style, life pace and food culture in Jiangnan. The Chinese restaurant “Taste Jiangnan” was named for this reason.

Taste Jiangnan is located on the 50th floor of Nanjing Golden Eagle Hotel, so that guests can overlook Nanjing at this quiet but commanding environment here. Based on the water town scenery in Jiangnan, Designer Liu Daohua realized a cross-dimensional dialogue between traditional Jiangnan and modern aesthetics by transforming traditional architecture, rural settlements and Huaiyang cuisine into his design language, to pay tribute to the graceful water towns as described in the poem sentence “The ladies selling wine in restaurants are very beautiful in Jiangnan. Their arms are as white as snow when they lift their sleeves”.

Liu Daohua is famous for his design of restaurants, cafes and the like. He is good at transforming natural life and cultural characteristics into elements in the space, combining practicability and artistic expression, and using architectural techniques to reshape the originally single space and explore the purest diet and life.

Just entering the restaurant, guests will be attracted to a teahouse area. As a core area and first impression at the entrance, such teahouse area was designed with practices different from conventional ones and integrates the concept of a traditional garden. After passing through a “forest path”, a winding one as a spatial movement line, guests come to a place for appreciation, communication and leisure which is enclosed under the eaves of modern deconstruction. Several seating scenarios were set up to satisfy the diverse needs of different customer groups. Furniture was designed in a simple but advanced manner, and their red brown, burlywood and black overlap into different color levels to show elegance.

In Taste Jiangnan, its indoor decoration deems dark brown as the fundamental key on the whole, and is embellished with deep or shallow brass with the texture of log, which forms a bright color line jumping out of profound colors. With a sense of Jiangnan architecture, the space creates a delicate sense of layers with these scattered colors and shadows, thus providing guests with an elegant and quality dining experience.

As the highest restaurant in Nanjing, Taste Jiangnan is connected with the outside with the large-scale French windows, so that guests can overlook the scenery of Nanjing with an excellent vision, including the graceful Qinhuai River and Zhongshan Mount. The designer specially set up private boxes with the architectural style of Jiangnan water towns, which are independent each other but connected mutually, and quiet in sufficient ritual feeling.

Plum blossom, the top of the 24 major flowers, is the city flower of Nanjing. It not only has the elegant appearance of flowers, but also auspiciously implies “five blessings in plum blossoms” with its five petals. With “plum blossom” as a theme concept element, the designer deduced it in different details of the space and formed a theme design for the whole space, as if fragrant plum blossom drifts freely under the sunshine. These staggered petals form both the mark of life and majestic beauty.

The designer created a unique artistic ceiling for Taste Jiangnan by retaining the most classic silhouette of plum blossom based on its extracted shape. The patterns of the ceramic tiles customized for Taste Jiangnan also correspond to the theme of plum blossom, and countless petal elements together constitute the blooming trend of Taste Jiangnan.

There is a saying in the Wei Chi Hexagram of the I Ching (Yi · Weiji), “Each shall live in a square place, so that all have their steady residences.”, which means that square can domicile people in a peaceful and pleasing manner. With the perspective of inheritance, acceptance and recovery, the modern space was highlighted with some local characteristics in Taste Jiangnan. Sometimes, space design must surpass the requirements of pure functions and combine with traditional architectural culture, so as to realize the spiritual meaning of space and trigger the spiritual resonance of people.

Taste Jiangnan Restaurant, Golden Eagle International Hotel, Nanjing – Building Information

Project Name: Taste Jiangnan Restaurant Project Location: Golden Eagle International Hotel, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China Project Area: 800㎡ Design Firm: LDH Design – www.ldhdesign.cn Chief Designer: Liu Daohua

品煨江南

项目名称：品煨江南项目地点：江苏省南京市金鹰国际酒店项目面积：800㎡设计公司：LDH刘道华建筑设计事务所设计 (www.ldhdesign.cn) 主创设计师：刘道华品煨江南 “品煨”与“品味”谐音又同义。煨者，小火慢炖也，煨而出味，好味则传煨，互为因果。讲的是文字意趣，内含的是江南水乡不瘟不火的生活情调、节奏以及饮食文化。

“品煨江南”以此为名。这座位于南京金鹰酒店50层的中餐厅，城市秘境般的姿态眺望秦淮。设计师刘道华以江南水乡为依托，将传统建筑、乡村聚落以及淮扬菜系脉络转化为设计语言，实现一场传统江南与现代美学的跨维对话，致敬那“垆边人似月”的曼妙水乡。

刘道华因餐饮设计而闻名，他擅长将自然生活与人文特色转化为空间中的元素，强调在地性与艺术手法的结合，以建筑手法，重塑原本单一的空间，探求最纯粹的饮食与人生。

刚进入餐厅，便被茶座区吸引视线。作为入口处的焦点区域和第一印象，它的设计区别于常规的做法，融入了传统园林的构想。顾客随着空间动线曲径通幽，经过一条“林间小道”，现代解构的屋檐下围合出一处可供品鉴、交流、休闲的场所，设计师构设了多种就座情境，匹配不同人群的多元需求。家具款式简单而不失高级感，红棕色、原木与黑色，叠合出不同的色��层次，尽显典雅。

“品煨江南”室内整体以深棕为基调，点缀深浅相搭的原木质感黄铜，沉稳的色彩倏尔跳脱出一抹亮色。极具江南建筑感的空间因色彩与光影的错落，产生细腻的层次感，进而为食客营造优雅与品质感的用餐体验。

作为南京“海拔”最高的餐厅，“品煨江南”以超大尺度的落地窗与外部接洽，食客以绝佳的视野俯瞰南京城市景观，品味秦淮婀娜，遥观钟山风雨。设计师专门设置的江南水乡建筑风格的包厢，彼此独立却又在相互连接，幽静之中饱含仪式感。

梅花，居二十四番花信之首，是南京市市花，不仅花貌疏影清雅，五片花瓣更有“梅开五福”的吉祥之意。设计师将“梅花”作为主题概念元素，演绎在空间的不同细节中，形成贯穿整个空间的主题式设计。如同日光照射下，梅花暗香飘荡洒落，这些交错的花瓣是生命的印记，亦形成了一种磅礴的美。

设计师提取花型，保留其最经典的剪影，为餐厅打造独具特色的艺术天花吊顶。地面定制的瓷砖图案也呼应了梅花主题，无数的花瓣元素共同构成品煨江南的绽放之势。

《易·未济》有云：“各居其方，使皆得安其所。”这寓意着——以方能安居，居得其所。以传承、接受、焕古的视角，让现代的空间增添了几分地方特色。有时候，空间设计必须超越纯粹的功能的诉求，结合传统建筑文化，实现空间的精神意义，触发人们心灵深处的灵魂共鸣。

[ Summer Palace x MLQC Collaboration PV ]

English translation under the cut!

Please accept a voiced guided tour from “him”.

[ Garden of Virtue and Harmony - 德和园 ]

Tour Guide: Kiro

Miss Chips, are you here yet?

Now, your tour guide will bring you around the theatre of the Garden of Virtue and Harmony.

If you're lucky, you’d be able to watch a Beijing opera performance on stage.

When I was filming here before, I happened to watch a show. The effects were incredible. A miraculous thing was that even though the audience seats were pretty far from the stage and the actors weren’t wearing microphones, the sounds were especially clear and bright. Their voices were rich, smooth, and beautiful.

Back then, I was really curious. How did they do that? I asked so many people.

In the end, someone dressed like an envoy in the Summer Palace told me that the lower segment of the stage is a huge aerial structure. A 10 metre well on the inside, along with five pools, are used to amplify the sound effects through acoustic resonance.

I remember that there are many more exquisite designs in the Garden of Virtue and Harmony. [sighs] It’s a pity that I can’t remember the principles behind them.

Eh, why don’t we ask together?

[ The Marble Boat of Purity and Ease - 清晏舫]

Tour Guide: Gavin

There are many people in this scenic area during the holidays. Remember to stick close to me.

We could head to Kunming Lake in the southern end first. There will be fewer visitors there, and it’d be more convenient for you to take in the scenery.

If you walk along the west dyke, you can see the Seventeen-Arch Bridge and the Nanhu Island. You’d get better photographs from here.

Walk across the Jade Belt Bridge and keep walking north.

That’d be the Marble Boat of Purity and Ease.

I heard that the evening breeze is really soothing. I’m guessing you’d like it. When the time comes, we can stay here for a while longer.

But the Marble Boat of Purity and Ease is a boat made of stone. If you want to ride a boat, we’d have to head over there - the Shizhang Pavilion.

In the middle of the lake, we can view the scenery from a different perspective.

It doesn’t seem like my first time here?

Mm. I did my homework before setting out and inspected the place in advance.

Oh yes, I heard that the Kunming lake freezes over in winter. If you feel like coming then, we’ll come together.

[ Long Corridor - 长廊 ]

Tour Guide: Lucien

The Long Corridor is a must-see for visitors to the Summer Palace.

It’s also one of its most popular scenic spots.

This place is always crowded.

Aside from tourists, quite a number of elderly who stay in the vicinity enjoy relaxing and having idle chats here.

When I was searching for information, I came across an elderly mister. He often sat along the Long Corridor, not talking to anyone. He simply stared at the coloured paintings on the wooden beams and spent the entire day looking at them. In total, he spent around five years documenting all these colourful paintings.

Afterwards, he made a book which exclusively introduced the coloured paintings in the Summer Palace.

Before I came here, I purchased the book and brought it along today.

Later, we can follow the book while walking through the Long Corridor, and look at the charm of the colourful paintings which captivated this elderly mister.

What do you think?

[ Hall of Benevolence and Longevity - 仁寿殿 ]

Tour Guide: Victor

Right now is the best time for osmanthus flowers in the Summer Palace to bloom.

Standing at the door of the East Palace is sufficient to smell the fragrance of osmanthus.

You picked a good time. Looks like you did prepare to the fullest.

During this time each year, the staff of the Summer Palace would shift all the osmanthus trees outside.

They’d decorate the entrance of the East Palace, the Hall of Benevolence and Longevity, stretching all the way to the Long Corridor.

As long as it doesn’t rain, the fragrance of osmanthus flowers can linger till the end of the Golden Week.

However, autumn isn’t at its richest right now at the Summer Palace. Red autumnal leaves will be seen a little later.

I heard that the staff don’t immediately sweep away fallen leaves on the ground. Instead, they’d wait for the moisture in the leaves to lessen before doing so, in order to prevent a fire hazard.

This tradition of the Summer Palace is called “delayed sweeping”. It’s meant to allow a semblance of autumn to linger for another month.

You find that there’s a sense of ceremony in this?

That is in line with your usual principles.

In that case, once we’re done strolling through the palace area, let’s walk towards a place with more greenery.

[ Suzhou Street - 苏州街 ]

Tour Guide: Shaw

Head down the steps of the Cifu Archway, walk past a white stone bridge, stay close to the stone bridge and head towards the water on a flight of narrow and steep steps, and you can enter Suzhou Street.

Doesn’t hearing this make it easy to find?

It’s okay even if you can’t remember it.

Just follow me and you’ll be fine.

The place I’m taking to you right now is a mountain path from the Gate Tower of Dawn Light towards Suzhou Street.

This place overlooks buildings on the east.

Here, this is the place.

From this angle, you can take photos of the river and two streets, and even a small bridge that stretches across the river.

How is it? Not bad, isn't it?

Typical tour guides won’t take you to such unique routes.

When we reach that side, we can take the water route.

I’ll let you experience how it feels to use water as a street and land as a market - this is a unique trait of the Jiangnan District.

What other places are you interested in?

I can take you to all of them today.

I’m pretty familiar with this place.

You’re in luck.

With him, see the beautiful scenery of four seasons.
