These two photo from Dbf were taken in Beijing.
这两张图片都是Dbf在北京照的.
The first one was taken in Da Bei Ku
第一张的地点是在北京的大北窟
The skyscraper in the second picture is the Sohu Modern Town
第二张图片里的建筑是Sohu现代城
This photo was taken in the city of Nanning by Robert Daboss, in which this billboard shows Chairman Mao, Deng Xiaopin and Jiang Zeming looking at the modernization efforts underway.
这张南宁的图片是Robert Daboss在南宁拍的,照片里的政治宣传牌描绘了毛泽东,邓小平和江泽民三代领导人展望中国的现代化发展的画面.
“Let’s strive together to revitalize Nanning”, the poster board reads
牌子上写着:”团结奋斗,振兴南宁”.
In China, tremendous progress has been made in reform, opening up and modernization, which was intiated by Deng Xiaoping over the past two decades.
在过去的二十多年里,在邓小平的指引下,中国的改革开放和现代化建设取得了卓著的进步.
Beneath the board, a sanitary worker is also on camera, watering the plants for use in improving Nanning’s urban landscapes.
在牌子下面,我们可以看到一个环卫工人了正在为城市的绿化植物浇水
While many of the National leaders in China have made a deep and lasting difference in the life of Chinese people, ordinary people like him are also performing their service to make China a better place.
很多中国的国家领导人为改善人民生活作出了很大的贡献,而像这位环卫工人一样的普通人民也正在为祖国的建设奉献自己的一份力量
A couple of days ago my girlfriend HuaDi went to He Yuan city, China on a business trip, where she witnessed the first hand beauty of this marvelous fountain known as the biggest one in Aisa. The height of this gorgeous fountain is 169 meters, or 554 feet tall. The giant tall fountain is located in Xinfengjiang forest park in He Yuan.
几天前我的女朋友华Di去了中国的梅州市出差,在那里她看到河源亚洲第一高的喷泉.这座美丽的喷泉169米高,也就是554英寸.喷泉坐落于河源的新丰江森林公园
See the magnificent fountain below
看看下面这座宏伟的的喷泉的图
To get a better view of the fountain, refer to this video I found on Metacafe
想看清楚点的话,下面我找到个在Metacafe的视频,也是这个喷泉的.

An update for new readers and a reminder for long-time fans: we regularly publish photos from our readers and group members who want to show others the interesting, curious, creepy, unusual, mysterious, elegant, odd, lovely, frumpy, and otherwise fantastic China that they have found from behind the lens. We publish work from beginners to veterans of photography, and our only requirements are that you only send us photos you have taken.
Some examples:
These first photos come from the China Photo Contest group on Facebook and were posted by Robert DaBoss.
These next photos come from our Facebook group A Million People Who Love China and were posted by Elisabeth Rowley Mitchell.

China Travel: Chongqing Municipality
Photo from Thalia Kwok.
Chongqing is unique in China: it is one of only for municipalities, or cities located in provinces that reports to the national, not the local, government. The others includes Beijing, Tianjin, and Shanghai; however, Chongqing is the only one not on the east cost. It is also the newest municipality, incorporated in 1997, and the municipality with the greatest population: over 30 million people were counted there in a 2005 census.
The name Chongquing comes from the Jialing River that runs through the city into the nearby Yangtze River. Supposedly Chongqing was established around the eleventh century BCE by the Ba people and by 316 BCE, the State of Quin had overrun the city.
This photo of Liberation Tower is from Thalia Kwok.
Chongqing’s climate and geography are typical of areas in central China. The land surrounding Chongqing is very rough and full of many hills, making agricultural development there difficult. Chongqing has a semi-tropical climate with two seasonal monsoon variations. The annual average temperature in Chongqing is 18°C, but the summers are quite hot: temperatures reaching 45°C have been recorded in summer. The area is also known for its severe fog, which was a great tool used during the World War II for protection. In addition, the great amounts of coal burning without any controls on pollution, air pollution is a large problem.

Chongqing has been known historically for its large trading inland ports. However, during the mid twentieth-century Chongqing was transformed into a major industrial city. Many military industrial plants and factories began there, though recently these Chongqing’s industry has been under reform, ending production of military items and increasing production of materials for the development of the average civilian.

Many natural resources are available in an abundance, including coal, natural gas, and strontium. Nearly 4.8 billion tonnes of coal reserves, among the highest amounts of reserves available in China, are estimated to be in Chongqing. The city is also home to the worlds second largest strontium reserve. With all of these resources at its disposal, Chongqing is growing at a rate even higher than China’s national growth, with its economy growing at just over 12% on a yearly basis. The nominal GDP in 2005 $38.75 billion US dollars.
In addition to its strong industrial economy, Chongqing also has a powerful tourism industry, making nearly $26 million USD in this industry annually. Among the most famous tourist destinations is the Three Gorges, a breathtaking area located upon the Yangtze river and the most frequently visited canyon in China. A high number of historic landmarks cites are in the metropolitan area due to Chongqing’s role as a political and administrative center in World War II.
Chongqing also has a few quirky achievements. The worlds largest public bathroom was created in July 2007. The bathroom is a four story building with 1,000 toilets uniquely shaped. Several urinals have the look of an open crocodile mouth or a woman resembling the Virgin Mary showing her bust.
This week’s photos come from Ken Yip, a blogger and photographer based in Shanghai.
This is a photo of South Station Shanghai, one of the two train stations in the city. Though the station was originally constructed in 1908, it was recently closed for rennovations and reopened in 2006 as the world’s first circular train station. The station now services all passengers heading to locations south of Shanghai, including the increasing popular Hangzhou, though Nanjing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong are always popular destinations.

Shanghai Towers, Shanghai Tree: Daily China Photo
Today’s photo is Day 4 in the Ken Leaf feature here on the Dreamblogue. Today’s photo features some of the skyscrapers in Shanghai, which have gone up in record time and are in part fueled by the 150 or so multinational companies that currently have their Asian headquarters located in Shanghai.
To more of these photos from Ken, continue coming back to this week’s China photos and tune in for Ken’s interview later this week. To see your photos here, send them to
One of the many goals of the China Dreamblogue is to create a strong, pro-China internet presence in the blogosphere. To do this, we need your help. And as we create our pro-China network, we would also like to help the people who want to be part of this network by giving them a way to increase their SEO power and their ability to monetize their site. Sound complicated and difficult? The process is deceptively simple and powerful.
We’ve created an idea called link it forward. Similar to the internet memes and the Thinking Blog tag that recently moved through a number of English-language blogs about China, our idea will travel rapidly through pro-China blogs. In addition, this idea will help to create links–as many as four thousand–to your site through a trickle-down method.
There are five simple steps:
Perma-List:
The Moveable list:
The numbers work out well for you. You will have approximately five rounds on the list. On the first round, you’ll get five links. On the second, you’ll get 25 (each of the five people you sent the list to will get five more people to put your link on their site). The third round nets you 125, the fourth 525, and the fifth 2,625. Your grand total (should everyone follow Link it Forward) will be 3,305 links. And if you get linked to again by another blog, you can start the process all over again to earn another 3,000 links.
To monetize your blog or site please click on the links found on the front page of this blog.
China Dreamblogue的其中一个目标是在因特网上创建一个强大的，支持中国的互联网。实现这个目标，我们需要你的帮助。在我们建造我们中国的友好互联网的同时，我们将会帮助那些支持我们的人，把他们的博客推到网络排名的最前列。这个过程既简单又有效。
我们已经有一个构想，称为“链接在一起”（Link it Forward），与“网络媒母”（internet memes）相类似。“Link it Forward”（ 链接在一起）会以很快的速度在支持中国的博客上移动。另外，这个构想可以使你的网站的链接数量增加几千个以上。
以下是六个简单的步骤：
请记住，不要改动或者改变第一组名单和不要在第二组名单上加上第六个链接。同样，通过第一组名单所得到的广告收益将用作慈善用途。而从第二组“link it forward”上所得的收益将有您自己支配。我们会为您列举一些能够推算您自己网站价值的地方。
第一组（长期不变得目录）：
第二组（可更新的目录）：
您的博客
您朋友的博客
如果理想的话，您大约会有比从前翻5倍的链接量。
第一个循环，您会得到5个链接。
第二个循环您会得到25个链接（跟您建立链接的那5个人每人会给您带来5个新的链接）
第三个循环您会有125个链接，第四个有625，第五个有3，125个。
如果每个人都按照Link it Forward的方法，您最后会得到3，905个链接。如果您同时又跟其他博客建立同种方法的链接，您将会得到另外3，000多个的链接。有了这上千个的 连接，您就能从Google Adwords（Google搜索引擎营销）那里得到相应的收益了。现在就请按本页底部的Google Adwords按钮来看一下您的网站的价值吧。
这是为了兴趣；这是为了提高中国博客在西方搜索引擎的排名；这更是为了中国的慈善事业出一分力（因为限定组中的3个博客将会把全部广告收益捐献给中国的慈善机构）；同样也能增加中国博客在互联网上的知名度。
让我们一起link it forward(链接在一起)吧！
