"Whilst visiting central Shanghai recently I went for an early morning stroll from my modern skyscraper hotel. Just across the road was an entrance to a park where many Chinese people were practicing their Tai Chi moves.

"These small ivory figures are on display in the Museum of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Shanghai, China. They were used in ancient times to depict the site of pain of a female patient to the doctors in attendance who would invariably have been males.

In the Suzhou General Hospital, 85 km west of Shanghai, China, as in most hospitals in China today is a large room for outpatients to receive intravenous therapies. Suzhou was established in the 6th Century BC and became prominent in the Ming dynasty as a result of the Grand Canal attracting scholars and merchants who built many wonderful walled homes. These are now listed by the UN as World Heritage sites. The hospital and the iv therapy room is not one of these sites!". Taken by Mike
The water taxis ferrying tourists and visitors around Zhou Zhuang Water Canal Town. These boats are the lifeline of the many water canals inside Zhou Zhuang, besides the footpaths and bridges to connect them. The lady coxswain was telling stories to the visitors and singing local songs and we can hear them from the top of the bridge that I took this photograph from". Taken by tangenghui
