Aerial View Qingshui Arch and Nearby Beautiful Villages航拍清水大桥与中国最美乡村
Qingshui bridge located in Shuicheng county,west of Guizhou, is a part of Shuihuang highway(from Shuicheng to Huangguoshu). With 150m span and 147m high, if it not located in China,will join Top 50 highest bridges and Top 10 highest archs in the(outside China) world,but in west Guizhou,it totally merged by numerous higher bridges,even almost no one known it. This bridge cross a very narrow gorge surrounded by limestone mountains,inside the gorge,we can seen from this video there are 2 creeks come from different direction. Some small villages and very beautiful terrace located near this bridge, full of tropical plants. After all,there are no visitors in this area,you can stay here one day still not meet a travels.
There are another 2 porcelain high bridges in Shuihuang highway not far from Qingshui bridge: Azhihe bridge and Balinghe highspeed railway bridge(the highway cross beneath this bridge). Can seen these 3 bridge's introduction from links below:
清水大桥位于水黄公路西段，为主跨150米，高147米的拱桥。其高度在中国以外可以进入前50名，拱桥的前十名，但在200米以上高桥众多的贵州西部，却不为外人所知。其实该桥风光秀丽惊人，青山绿水间，一座拱桥横跨极深极窄的峡谷半山腰，从视频可以看出，此峡谷内部分岔，成为两道深邃的裂缝。桥下游不远还有座小拱桥。临近村庄的梯田美丽无比，村落中长满芭蕉和热带植物。最关键的是....一个游客也没有。游客众多闹如集市的那是人造景观，这种没有游客完全保持原貌的才是美丽乡村，这是我将其称为“中国最美乡村”的根本原因。（另有视频中看不出的，已开发乡村不但物价奇贵，不另行宰客就是好事。这种没有游客的地方民风淳朴，外人进村一律土鸡招待，付钱时尽量多找，不过村里的狗从没见过外人，看见生人会汪汪叫，它们不咬人的只是喊而已。）
这条水黄公路不远处还有风景绮丽的阿志河大桥、沪昆高铁坝陵河铁路桥（公路从高铁桥下穿过，可能是世界拍摄超高墩高铁梁桥的最佳地点）两座风光顶尖的高桥，三桥具体介绍见下面链接：

Over 100 Residents Evacuated as Typhoon Megi Batters east China County
More than 100 residents have been evacuated to safe places in Xiapu County in east China's Fujian Province on Wednesday, as Tyhpoon Megi battered the province.
The heavy rains triggered by Typhoon Megi inundated a number of villages in the county and trapped many people in water.

Aerial Views Taiwan / Xingtian Temple / Peitou / 2016.09.24
Aerial views of Xingtian Temple, Beitou Branch. Shot with a DJI Phantom 2, today, September 24, 2016.
The view is taken from the north of Taiwan, north of Taipei, and is looking directly south. The sprawling complex with powder blue roofs beyond the temple is the main maintenance yard and garages for the Taipei MRT train system.
Today was the first time I visited this temple even though I lived near it for years. The temple and its grounds are exceedingly tidy and trim. Like the Xingtian Temple in Taipei it is unique in that there are no offering tables nor is incense burnt. Spartan.
The grounds are very green and beautiful. The surrounding gardens are meticulously maintained. From the rear of the temple there's a trail head that leads into the woods above.
This temple is the Beitou branch of the widely visited Xingtian Temple on Minquan East Road in Taipei, yet it in fact pre-dates the main temple. The principle deity here is Guansheng Dijun. The Beitou Branch is commonly known as Zhongyi Temple due to its proximity to the former Zhongyi Railway Station and Zhongyi MRT Station today.
This grand temple covers an area of about 8.0 hectares. The facilities include a library, lushly planted grounds, trails, landscaped courtyards, rest pavilions, a parking lot and public restrooms. The Zhongyi Trail head is also located here for visitors wishing to explore the scenic natural surroundings.

14 Dead, 4 Missing after Typhoon Soudelor Hits Coastal Province of Zhejiang
Typhoon Soudelor had left 14 people dead and four missing in east China's Zhejiang Province as of Monday morning, according to the provincial flood control and drought relief headquarters.
After pounding Taiwan and leaving six people dead, Soudelor landed in the Chinese mainland Saturday night in Fujian Province and moved to neighboring Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces.
Chinese authorities have issued a grade-IV emergency response for the typhoon, the lowest in China's emergency response system, which requires a 24-hour alert, daily damage reports, and sending money and relief materials within 48 hours.
In Zhejiang, a total of 1.58 million people have been affected by Soudelor.
In Wenzhou City, downpours brought by the typhoon have damaged bridges, flooded streets and inundated buildings.
I sell handicrafts. The floodwater inundated my house in a few minutes at around 21:00 yesterday (Aug. 8), and it has not receded yet. It damaged my goods and caused huge losses for me, said a vendor.
Heavy rains have also triggered more than 100 landslides in Wenzhou's Taishun County and cut off road traffic, electricity and water supplies to a dozen villages.
In Cangnan County, the water level at all reservoirs rose sharply on Sunday. The Qiaoshuidun Reservoir in Weixian County saw its water level rise by 11 meters, about five meters above the warning line. Local authorities opened the flood gates at 06:00 on Monday to discharge the water.
Meanwhile, a swollen river overflowed a dam under construction and inundated a tea garden in Songyang County of Lishu City.
Local government has mobilized residents to keep out the floodwater with sandbags.

Beauty of Nature Zhangjiajie
Zhangjiajie
Chinese prefecture-level city
Zhangjiajie, a city in the northwest of China's Hunan province, is home to the famed Wulingyuan Scenic Area. This protected zone encompasses thousands of jagged quartzite sandstone columns, many of which rise over 200m, as well as caves filled with stalactites and stalagmites. Wulingyuan also encompasses forests, rivers, waterfalls and 2 large natural land bridges, as well as endangered plant and animal species.
Weather: 29 °C, Wind E at 14 km/h, 53% Humidity
The city itself was previously named Dayong and has a recorded history dating back to 221 BC. People lived here along both banks of the Lishui River (the mother river in Zhangjiajie), now within the boundaries of Zhangjiajie City, very early during the Stone Age. Human settlement in this region dates back 100,000 years, rivaling such famous sites as Xi’an, Beijing and others. In 1986, the Academy of Chinese Social Science discovered Stone Age relics in Cili County, unearthing 108 articles of stoneware; mostly tapered-form, hacked-tamped and plate-shaped works. According to archaeological experts’ textual research, all of these wares were produced about 100,000 years ago. Shortly thereafter, in 1988, the Archaeological Institute of Hunan Province found other relics in Sangzhi County, including three pieces of stoneware which were estimated to have been fashioned over 100,000 years ago.
Ten thousand years ago, those who lived within the boundaries of what is now Zhangjiajie City employed fire to bake pottery. Archaeologists have found more than 20 relics of this kind in Cili County, while in Sangzhi County, a black clay pot adorned with a unique design was unearthed dating back ten thousand years. During that period, this pottery-firing technique was the most advanced in China.

Rain hampers rescue work in east China
Fresh rain is hampering rescue work after Wednesday's landslide in a village near Lishui City in China's eastern province of Zhejiang. A hillside collapsed, burying dozens of houses. Earlier reports say that 27 people are still missing. Falling rocks and mud have clogged a local river, with the diverted water forcing villagers living nearby to abandon their homes.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Macau or Macao ( (listen); Chinese: 澳門, Cantonese: [ōu.mǔːn]; Portuguese: Macau), officially the Macao Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, is an autonomous territory on the western side of the Pearl River estuary in East Asia. Along with Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, and several other major cities in Guangdong, the territory forms a core part of the Pearl River Delta metropolitan region. With a population of 650,900 in an area of 30.5 km2 (11.8 sq mi), it is the most densely populated region in the world.
Macau was formerly a colony of the Portuguese Empire, after Ming China leased the territory as a trading post in 1557. Originally governing under Chinese authority and sovereignty, Portugal was given perpetual occupation rights for Macau in 1887. Macau remained under Portuguese control until 1999, when it was returned to China. As a special administrative region, Macau maintains a separate political and economic system apart from mainland China. The People's Republic of China's obligation to run Macau as a special administrative region, per the Joint Declaration on the Question of Macau, expires on 20 December 2049.
Macau is the gambling capital of the world. Its economy is heavily dependent on gambling and tourism, and in 2006 it surpassed Las Vegas as the world's largest gambling center by revenue. It has a very high Human Development Index and the fourth-highest life expectancy in the world. Macau is among the world's richest regions and its GDP per capita by purchasing power parity was higher than that of any country in the world. In 2015, Macau was ranked as the fastest growing metropolitan area in the world by the Brookings Institution.

SUMMARY
=======
The Yangtze or Yangzi (English: or ), which is 6,300 km (3,915 mi) long, is the longest river in Asia, the third-longest in the world and the longest in the world to flow entirely within one country. Its source is in the northern part of the Tibetan Plateau and it flows 6,300 km (3,900 mi) in a generally eastern direction to the East China Sea. It is the sixth-largest river by discharge volume in the world. Its drainage basin comprises one-fifth of the land area of China, and is home to nearly one-third of the country's population.The Yangtze has played a major role in the history, culture and economy of China. For thousands of years, the river has been used for water, irrigation, sanitation, transportation, industry, boundary-marking and war. The prosperous Yangtze River Delta generates as much as 20% of the PRC's GDP. The Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze is the largest hydro-electric power station in the world. In mid-2014, the Chinese government announced it was building a multi-tier transport network, comprising railways, roads and airports, to create a new economic belt alongside the river.The Yangtze flows through a wide array of ecosystems and is habitat to several endemic and endangered species including the Chinese alligator, the narrow-ridged finless porpoise, the Chinese paddlefish, the (extinct) Yangtze River dolphin or baiji, and the Yangtze sturgeon. In recent years, the river has suffered from industrial pollution, plastic pollution, agricultural run-off, siltation, and loss of wetland and lakes, which exacerbates seasonal flooding. Some sections of the river are now protected as nature reserves. A stretch of the upstream Yangtze flowing through deep gorges in western Yunnan is part of the Three Parallel Rivers of Yunnan Protected Areas, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

SUMMARY
=======
The Yangtze River Delta or YRD is a triangle-shaped metropolitan region generally comprising the Wu Chinese-speaking areas of Shanghai, southern Jiangsu province and northern Zhejiang province. The area lies in the heart of the Jiangnan region (literally, south of the River), where Yangtze River drains into the East China Sea. The urban build-up in the area has given rise to what may be the largest concentration of adjacent metropolitan areas in the world. It covers an area of 99,600 square kilometres (38,500 sq mi) and is home to over 115 million people as of 2013, of which an estimated 83 million is urban. If based on the greater Yangtze River Delta zone, it has over 140 million people in this region. Having a fertile soil, the Yangtze River Delta abundantly produces grain, cotton, hemp and tea.. As of 2017 Yangtze River Delta had GDP of approximate US$1.5 trillion( or US$3.0 trillion in PPP), about the same size as Russia.
