China 360 - Shanghai - Old Town - VR tourism
This is a 360 video so you can look around with your mouse or mobile phone ;)
The Old City of Shanghai is the traditional urban core of Shanghai. Its boundary was formerly defined by a defensive wall. The Old City was the county seat for the old county of Shanghai. With the advent of foreign concessions in Shanghai, the Old City became just one part of Shanghai's urban core but continued for decades to be the seat of the Chinese authority in Shanghai. Notable features include the City God Temple which is located in the center of the Old City and is connected to the Yuyuan Garden, a traditional Chinese Ming-style private garden, originally built in 1559 but ransacked and restored several times since then.
We will keep posting videos from all over the world.

TRADITIONAL Japanese STREET FOOD Tour at Fushimi Inari Shrine | Kyoto, Japan
During my twelve incredible days exploring the Asian island nation of Japan in January of 2019, I absolutely fell in love with the country. The people, the culture, the gorgeous sites, and of course, the phenomenal food, captured my heart. It’s near the top of my list of my favorite destinations of all-time and I believe it’s a place everyone needs to experience at least once in their lifetime. Join me on my latest Japanese adventure!
My Film Making Kit ►
After arriving in Kyoto on the morning of my fourth day in Japan, I met up with my new friend and guide Kosuke, who took me on an incredible tour of Kyoto’s temples and an insanely delicious traditional Japanese street food tour at the Fushimi Inari Shrine! Come along with me as I begin my exploration of Kyoto and gorge on some of its best street food!
Kyoto is an ancient city that is steeped in history and tradition (it served as Japan’s capital for over 1,000 years from the 8th century to the 20th century), and that history and tradition can be seen at every turn. The moment I arrived, I was immediately blown away by how different Kyoto felt from the ultra-modern concrete jungle of Tokyo. Kyoto felt much quieter and much more traditional by comparison. There are roughly 2,000 temples in the city!
My tour began at Kōmyō-in, a sub-temple in the Tōfuku-ji Buddhist temple complex that was founded in 1391. The temple is famous for its Zen garden, maple trees, and cherry blossoms. It’s customary to take off your shoes when you enter any Japanese temple or apartment, so we did so and continued on to the Zen garden, which is covered in moss; contains lots of white gravel (which is raked weekly by the head monk); and has lots of large rocks jutting up from the moss. The rocks represent mountains and the white gravel symbolizes the ocean. You can’t step into the garden; you have to enjoy it from the wooden walkways of the temple.
Inside the temple are several rooms and photos of the temple hanging on the walls. Kosuke also took me to the praying hall, where the head monk reads from the Buddhist bible. The hall contains a statue of the Buddha and is beautiful!
Next, we headed off to get some breakfast at the food market near the Fushimi Inari Shrine, which is a very famous shrine that sees 7,000 visitors per day, including locals who pray for the prosperity of their businesses.
The aroma of the food in the market was amazing! I couldn’t wait to try it!
I started with takoyaki (500 Yen/$4.46), or octopus balls, which are made from a batter containing octopus, red ginger, and cabbage. It was hot, but so delicious with a soft, crème brûlée-like consistency inside, and had a nice takoyaki sauce and bonito flakes on top.
Next was a tofu steak (400 Yen/$3.57), which is tofu on a stick that’s pan-fried and is topped with wasabi, ponzu sauce, seaweed, and bonito flakes. I loved it, especially the texture of the bonito flakes and the flavor of the seaweed! So delicious!
We followed that with gyoza (300 Yen/$2.68 for 3 gyozas), or a type of Japanese potsticker, which was wrapped with chicken skin. It was the best gyoza I’ve ever had! The chicken skin was really fatty and changed the texture of the gyoza. It blew my mind! I followed that with a dried, fig-like fruit that was amazing as well.
As we continued through the market, I bought two Japanese masks (2,000 Yen each/$17.86 each) for my wall at home. We made our way toward the Fushimi Inari Shrine, and Kosuke told me that it became popular after the film “Memoirs of a Geisha” was filmed there.
The shrine’s most popular site is the 10,000 vermilion torii gates that straddle a network of trails going up the mountain. Each gate was donated by a Japanese businessman and is inscribed with the name of the businessman’s company and the date it was donated. The gates are gorgeous!
Next, I visited some miniature torii gates stacked in front of the holy rock, and picked up the good luck rock to see what kind of luck I would have! Let’s just say I hope it was wrong!
I hope you enjoyed my temple, shrine, and food tour of Kyoto! If you did, please give it a thumbs up, leave me a comment below, and subscribe to my channel for more awesome travel and food content!

TRADITIONAL Japanese STREET FOOD Tour at Fushimi Inari Shrine | Kyoto, Japan
China's First Elevated Cycleway Wins Recognition from Cyclists in east China City
China has been playing its catch-up with whatever that is good and useful to the general public since its opening-up for fast economic development. The latest such catching-up is an elevated cycleway in east China's Fujian Province. It is the first in the whole of the country.
The barrier-free cycleway stretches 7.6 kilometers to link up several of Xiamen City's shopping malls, residential clusters and industrial parks. Right under the city's Bus Rapid Transit road, the cycleway has passed its trial run and has since become an attraction to cyclists from the city and elsewhere of the country.
It's always traffic jam everywhere. Cycling bypasses the jams and it saves time and fuel and doubles up as an exercise, commented one local resident.
Statistics show that during the trial run period from Jan. 26, between 3,000 and 5,000 cyclists have come each day to trial-run their bikes on this elevated cycleway which has lived up to their expectation arisen from the name of the cycleway. These cyclists claim to have felt the way of riding on clouds, just as the Chinese name of the cycleway suggests.
To guarantee the safety of cyclists, city authorities have set up a monitoring staff for the cycleway.
We monitor the cycleway and try to prevent uncivilized behaviors from happening as soon as we find them. We'll send our staff to places where needs be, said Wei Jianlong, staff with the elevated cycleway service center of Xiamen Yunding Road. Yunding means in Chinese on top of clouds. The cycleway is elevated six meters from ground.

Carton King | 紙箱王 | Taichung, Taiwan 台中, 台灣 |
Carton King is a creative park featuring art installations made of cardboard (mostly, some are made of metal and other materials).
There is a cardboard train that runs through and around the park, also, there are 8 quests on the ticket - you will get a stamp for each designated area and be able to redeem a gift.
My favourite were landmarks from around the world, the animal kingdom walk, the elevated sky trails (scary!), honey shop and souvenir shop to which you can look through a window at how the cartons are made.
Spent 2 hours here, including lunch.
This was part of a day trip with a pre-booked private taxi. It is slightly off the city so it might be a bit difficult to find a cab.
Rating: 4/5

She plays on a plays on a bow stamped with a Star of David and believed to date from WWII and soon to be added to a touring collection described in the documentary Violins of Hope.

STORYLINE
A surge in investment by China's government helped to drive economic growth in the first quarter of the year, offsetting the influence of a weaker retail sales performance, figures issued on Wednesday show.
State Statistics Bureau Deputy Director, Qiu Xiaohua, confirmed China's gross domestic product grew 7.6% on year in the first quarter, up from 6.6% in the fourth quarter of 2001.
Fixed asset investment, China's benchmark measure of capital expenditure, was the main contributor.
However, a dip in the consumer price index reignited fears that China is slipping back into deflation, which was a blight on the economy's performance from 1998 to 2001.
In the first quarter, fixed asset investment rose 19.6% on year to 467.2 (b) billion yuan ($1=CNY8.28), bolstered by an increase of 25.1% in state sector spending.
Private investment rose 9.1% on year during the same period.
The pace of growth in total fixed asset investment was the strongest since the first quarter of 1999.
However, consumer spending remained sluggish in the first three months of this year despite the annual week-long holiday for the Lunar New Year.
Qiu said slow income growth in rural and poorer urban areas also needs to be addressed for consumer spending to play major role in economic growth.
