Story of Hangzhou

Hangzhou was once the capital city of the South Sung dynasty and famous for beauty.

But now Northeast China is famous for beauty. But I didn’t meet beauties neither from Hangzhou nor from north east China. So I cannot tell about

It takes an hour from Yiwu by express train but it took 10year for me to get Hangzhou.

As it used to be a capital city, there are many places to visit and well organized.

I couldn’t spend much time at Siho so I couldn’t take ship because I visited here for watching a Song Cheng Dancing and singing performance. However it is said that if you take a ship at some distance from downtown, you don’t have to wait long and even the boatman sings for you.

Like history of Korea, history of China encountered many vicissitudes too.

The reasons on the fall of Sung dynasty are various, such as because of Yüan or socio economic corruption and irregularities.

Some lotus on the river reminds me of a Chinese poem about Siho and lotus. The water seems clean unlikely others in other cities of China.

I finally arrived to Song Cheng amusement park. It seems a mixture of Ever land, Korean Folk Village and Seoul land in Korea.

There is no zoo, there are only some rides and recreate streets of Sung dynasty.

It is said that Song Cheng dancing and singing performance is the top three performance in the world,

but I think it is top five rather than three.

As a lot of tourist visit here, they have many attractors as well.

I could easily find many performances and animal shows here and there. I got an impression that those animal shows are cruel. A juggler was showing a knife performance. I think one hour is enough time to watch all of them.

You can take a picture in traditional costume of king and queen.

If you want to take a photo with someone dressed up as a famous people from Sung dynasty

it costs 15yuan. Normally the entrance fee covers these kind of things though but here many things were charged separately.

The seats which cover about 1000 audience were full.

While I saw the show played to packed houses, about 1000 of audience. I thought that

developing cultural products is indeed a higher value-added business.

Las Vegas and Paris are famous cities for performances. Then what about Korea?

It leads me to think about “what is our talent then”?

We make brand value!
