Guangzhou City

China nabbed fugitive with play cards

April 23, 2012 by Yein Jee

China criminal play cardsChina’s Guangzhou City has captured one of their most wanted men partly thanks to some play cards distributed by the police.

50,000 sets of play cards were given out to the public for free earlier this month, with information of 54 of the city’s most wanted fugitives printed on the cards.

And through that the authorities have successfully located the where-about of the 47-year-old fugitive (wanted for a 2004 murder case), who surrendered himself realising that the cops were around the corner.

China to create world’s largest mega city

January 26, 2011 by Yein Jee

China is planning to create the world’s biggest mega city by merging nine cities to create a metropolis twice the size of Wales with a population of 42 million.

China super mega city at Pearl River Delta

The “Turn Pearl River Delta Into One” scheme will cover a large part of China’s manufacturing heartland, stretching from Guangzhou to Shenzhen and including Foshan, Dongguan, Zhongshan, Zhuhai, Jiangmen, Huizhou and Zhaoqing.

Over the next six years, around 150 major infrastructure projects will mesh the transport, energy, water and telecommunications networks of the nine cities together, at a cost of some 2 trillion yuan (£190 billion). More on Telegraph.

November 13, 2010 by Yein Jee

Photos from the opening of the 16th Asian Games in Guangzhou, China, on Friday night. The ceremony was held in an amphitheatre-like setting – facing the Pearl River with the Guangzhou TV Tower at sight – instead of the usual stadium-mode. Splendid stuff which could rival the Beijing Olympics. Image by Xinhuanet [Cn]…

Foshan’s Manggong Cake aka blind-man biscuit

September 3, 2008 by Yein Jee

Manggong Cake (盲公饼 – literally blind-man biscuit) is a speciality of Foshan city in Guangdong province, China. It’s a traditional biscuit (despite officially named as cake) made of ground nuts and sesame seeds, first created in 1800 by a blind fortune teller… hence the name.

The Manggong Cake is a popular souvenir for foreigners who visit Foshan or Guangdong… and the most well known brand is Heji (pic above). Not the tastiest biscuit I’ve had to be frank, but we got to appreciate a traditional recipe that has existed for over two centuries.
