West Lake Hangzhou China Travel Guide

West Lake is like the sparkling eye of a charming woman, also like a precious stone on a crown. Embedded in the beautiful city of Hangzhou, West Lake is the favorite place of both the residents of Hangzhou and the tourists. For thousands of years, the West Lake is prestigious throughout the world for its charming natural sceneries and abundant historical relics. Everyone who has been to West Lake would be deeply touched by its stunning beauty. Located in the west of Hangzhou, West Lake is not only beautiful for the lake itself, but also the surrounding mountains. The mountains are not high but lush and elegant, decorated with peculiar stones and clean streams. Bridges wiggle on the surface of the water and pavilions are hidden behind the trees and bushes. When spring comes, willows stand by the lake and caress the water, and birds sing in the verdant branches – what delicate scenery!

West Lake has attracted many people since ancient China, including famous poets and writers. The prestigious writer Su Shi described the West Lake “is a beautiful girl, who looks attractive in different ways, both in light and heavy make-up”. Countless poems had marveled at the charming landscape of West Lake, and romantic love affairs make the lake more humanism and spiritual. West Lake wisely integrates natural sceneries with historical relics together, and there are more than 100 historical spots in the scenery spot, hence West Lake is also a key cultural tourist attraction of China. It is first called as “West Lake” in Tang Dynasty, and before that time, it has many names. In Song Dynasty, the “Ten Sceneries” came into being and were widely accepted by the people. Each of the “Ten Sceneries” has its own features, and together the ten sceneries consists most important points of West Lake. Nowadays, as the time passing by, “New Ten Sceneries” were elected, and West Lake will continuously attract and intoxicate the travelers with its unique beauties.

Millennium Dome London UK Jim Rogers and Paige Parker

Jim Rogers and Paige Parker 150 Country Around the World Journey!

This stop- London UK for the Millennium Dome – aka The Dome

Copyright Jim Rogers – provided as a special contribution to The Fenton Report

The Millennium Dome, often referred to simply as The Dome, is the original name of a large dome-shaped building, originally used to house the Millennium Experience, a major exhibition celebrating the beginning of the third millennium. Located on the Greenwich Peninsula in south-east London, England, the exhibition opened to the public on 1 January 2000 and ran until 31 December 2000. The project and exhibition was the subject of considerable political controversy as it failed to attract the number of visitors anticipated, leading to recurring financial problems.

While all of the original exhibition and associated complex has since been demolished, the canopy or shell of the dome still exists, and it is now a key exterior feature of the The O2 entertainment district.

The structure is the largest of its type in the world. Externally it appears as a large white marquee with twelve 100 m-high yellow support towers, one for each month of the year, or each hour of the clock face, representing the role played by Greenwich Mean Time. In plan view it is circular, 365 m in diameter — one metre for each day of the year — with scalloped edges. It has become one of the United Kingdom’s most recognisable landmarks. It can easily be seen on aerial photographs of London. Its exterior is reminiscent of the Dome of Discovery built for the Festival of Britain in 1951.

The architect was Richard Rogers and the contractor was a joint venture company, McAlpine/Laing Joint Venture (MLJV) formed between Sir Robert McAlpine and Laing Management. The building structure was engineered by Buro Happold, and the entire roof structure weighs less than the air contained within the building. Although referred to as a dome it is not strictly one as it is not self-supporting, but is a mast-supported, dome-shaped cable network.

The canopy is made of PTFE-coated glass fibre fabric, a durable and weather-resistant plastic, and is 50 m high in the middle. Its symmetry is interrupted by a hole through which a ventilation shaft from the Blackwall Tunnel rises.

Apart from the dome itself, the project included the reclamation of the entire Greenwich Peninsula. The land was previously derelict and contaminated by toxic sludge from an earlier gasworks that operated from 1889 to 1985. The clean-up operation was seen by the then Deputy Prime Minister Michael Heseltine as an investment that would add a large area of useful land to the crowded capital. This was billed as part of a larger plan to regenerate a large, sparsely populated area to the east of London and south of the River Thames, an area initially called the East Thames Corridor but latterly marketed as the “Thames Gateway”.
