LIFE
ONE of the biggest challenges for any woman developing her own personal stylistic take on the latest trends is choosing fresh and appropriate colours.
 
Life Style
  • Fully booked
    FORMAL opening is not until March 19, but Garden Bookstore has already earned a reputation for having the latest books and for its hospitality.
  • Cozy approach to retail
    TO create an intimate shopping experience for their customers, some local business people have moved their stores away from the hustle and bustle of the high streets and into invisible places such as the upper levels of commercial building.
  • Communicative folk
    A CULTURAL communication club was set up recently in the Vernal Garden residential area where foreign residents account for about 70 per cent of the total population. The club will organize Chinese folk arts classes once a month for interested foreign residents to enrich their stay in Shanghai as well as to promote communication between them and the locals.
  • New visa application centres
    THE British Embassy has introduced a network of visa application centres making it more convenient to apply for a British visa in China.

Health
  • Spring health hazards
    WITH spring arriving, the weather is getting warmer, despite the intermittent cold spells and rain. However, spring is also a capricious season with temperature sometimes dropping as much as 20 degrees in a single day.
Travel
  • Land of endless summer
    SITUATED in the extreme south of Southwest China's Yunnan Province and having borders with Myanmar, Thailand and Laos, Xishuangbanna is a place of hills and plains, rivers and forest. If Kunming, the provincial capital is considered the city of eternal spring, Xishuangbanna should be blessed with the title "the land of endless summer".
