Visiting Yancheng the Former ‘Salt City’
Wednesday, 01 May 2013 05:55

Yancheng is one of the fastest developing cities in China. With so many unique tourist attractions and even one of the wonders of the world, this country is a popular tourist destination, and yet it is so vast that tourists do not really know all the different provinces and areas they can visit to have a spectacular holiday in China. When visiting the city of Yancheng, often nicknamed the Salt City due to the salt harvesting fields all around the city, there is much to see in terms of China’s massive cultural development over recent years, moving away from their salt-based economy towards manufacturing and green energy.

Jiangsu has four cities that own their subway systems, calling metro rail network, but these systems have not been completed.
The Nanjing Metro has three lines: Line 1, 2 and 3, operated by the Nanjing Metro Company and more lines are under planning. Line 1 opened to public in September 2005 after five years of construction. In 2010, the south extension of Line 1 and the new metro Line 2 became available. Line 2 was designed to provide service of 500,000 passengers a day. More are under construction now. Still remembering in 2010 there were a lot of construction sites on streets around its downtown Xinjiekou arer. Totally Nanjing currently has 85km of metro rail network, with plans to increase this to a couple of hundred km by 2030.

Want a job on your resume that'll raise eyebrows? Apply to become a "stink assessor" for China's notoriously noxious public washrooms.
Applicants for such a position should be younger than 30, have no history of nasal disease and avoid tobacco, pungent food and drink before and during the assessment, the country's ministry of health announced this week.
The new rules - issued Thursday for public feedback before they are revised and enforced later this year - also specify the number of flies permitted: three per square meter in a stand-alone bathroom and just one per square meter in a bathroom inside another building. As for maggots - zero tolerance.
