It is considered to be one of the most unique cities in the world due to its combination of Chinese and Portuguese cultures. During the 16th century, the Portuguese established a trading port in Macao, which made it the center of economic and cultural exchange between China and the West. Consequently, Macao has been influenced by western culture, religion, language, and architecture making it an interesting cosmopolitan city. In addition to its cultural richness, Macao is also a famous tourist destination due to its many casinos, luxury hotels, and entertainment venues. It is often referred to as the “Las Vegas of Asia” as it is home to the largest gambling market in the world. Macao has a rich culinary scene influenced by Chinese and Portuguese cuisine. Its signature dishes include egg tarts, pork chop buns, and Macanese-style seafood. With its unique cultural heritage, vibrant entertainment scene, and delicious cuisine, Macao is a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to China or the surrounding areas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chinese culture and heritage is rich and runs across a time frame of five thousand years. It was during this time that a variety of unique and varied celebrations began to grow roots. Despite China’s many changes Chinese festivals are deeply rooted in popular tradition. China amasses a vast area and consists of a number of ethnic groups that all come together as part of a vibrant cultural experience. Some of these festivals have developed into popular celebrations that are not only practiced in China, but also in many Chinese communities throughout the world. Much of the customs and traditions of its people vary by geography and ethnicity yet remain firmly established as part of the country’s vibrant culture. Over the years much of the festivals have evolved with the changes in the development of the Chinese civilization and as a consequence have become an integral part of the Chinese culture. As with time’s progression and the advent of science, technology and rapid globalisation many Chinese are no longer able to tell how their festivals originated which has in turn seen the gradual shedding of ethnic traditions for modern and universal ways. This is especially true of Chinese communities outside their homeland.

Download or read book Classroom Culture in China written by Xudong Zhu and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-30 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book comprehensively examines classroom culture in the Chinese context and develops the model of “collective-individualism-based learning.” Classroom culture plays a fundamental role in constructing students’ learning competencies, perceptions, and behaviors. This book puts forward a collective-individualism-based learning model to explain the classroom culture in China, both past and present. The collective-individualism-based model reflects the individualized learning style of students in Chinese classroom culture, and is characterized by nine symbolic objects; a textbook, an exercise book, a pen, a blackboard, a screen, a computer, a table, a chair, and a platform. In addition to summarizing this approach to learning, the book examines the construction of a classroom culture with Chinese characteristics and argues that the collective-individualism-based model accurately portrays the personal learning style of students in a specific classroom culture that includes particular symbolic objects.
