2010 Marco Polo – ZHENG He Academy
BACKGROUNDER
Xiamen The Ancient Harbor Where Marco Polo Started His Journey Back Home to Venice
Xiamen, on the southeastern coast of China, to the west of Taiwan Strait, is a well-known,
scenic port city commonly known as the "Garden on the Sea" and the "Glittering Pearl on
the Sea". Dubbed "China's coziest city", Xiamen has a pleasant climate, picturesque views
and clean and tidy environment. In 2002, Xiamen received the Gold Medal at the
"International Nations in Bloom"(Now “The International Awards for the Most Livable City")
competition in Stuttgart, Germany. Domestic awards have included "National Sanitary City",
"National Garden City", "National Model City for Environmental Protection", "National
Excellence in Tourism" and "National Top 10 Most Livable Cities". In March 2005, it was
ranked 9th among 200 Chinese cities for its comprehensive
strength. Natural Geography Xiamen is situated on the
southeast coast of Fujian Province, and planted smack in the
mouth of the Jiulong(Nine Dragons)River, so in ancient times
she was called Xia Men(Amoi), or "lower gate (to the sea)".
Inevitably, Xiamen became a haven for pirates and merchants
(roughly the same occupation). Eventually the name was
amended to the present Xia Men(厦门), or "Mansion Gate," which also means "Gate to
China". It lies at 118° 04' 04'' east longitude and 24°26' 46'' north latitude. It is 695
nautical miles south of Sanghai, 287 nautical miles north of Hong Kong, 162 nautical miles
from Taipei. At the back of Xiamen lies the Zhangzhou and Quanzhou Plain, and facing
Xiamen across the Taiwan Strait are Taiwan Island and Penghu Islands. In the 1950’s,
serious Chinese civil war between Chinese Communists and KMT once blocked daily
communication n between Xiamen (Amoi) Island and Jinmen (Quemoi) Island, which is only
1800 meters away from Xiamen, and is still under Chinese Taiwan’s jurisdiction today.
Today’s Xiamen and Jinmen is the bridge between China Mainland and China Taiwan.
The topography of Xiamen is characterized by a gradual descent from the south to the north,
with the northwestern part being relatively flat and the southern part mountainous and hilly.
The Xiamen Harbor, which is a harbor of the strait type, has a coastal line that zigzags to
234 kilometers. It is a natural haven with deep water that is ice-free all the year round. The
best overall weather in China, combined with one of the world’s best natural deep-water
harbors, has helped rank Xiamen’s 81 berth port in China’s top ten.
2010 Marco Polo – ZHENG He Academy
Climate
Xiamen has a subtropical climate. It is generally mild and temperate. It has an average
annual temperature of approximately 21°C. Winter in Xiamen is not shivery while summer
is free from extreme heat. The city has an average annual rainfall of about 1200mm, mainly
concentrated on the months from May to August.
Scenic Spots and Historical Sites
For its irresistible beauty Xiamen is described as Garden on the
Sea whose attractiveness is comparable to the famous Hawaii. It
is also called Egret Island for it provides the habitat for white
egrets. Xiamen has numerous parks, hills, waters, temples and
gardens that comprise a most adorable picture. Its unique folk
customs, celebrities well known at home and abroad and the
many historical sites are magnetic to visitors. Among the most
popular tourist destinations are Gulangyu Island, Wanshi Botanic Garden, thousand-year-old
Nanputuo Temple, Jimei Schools built by Mr. Tan Ka Kee (a famous overseas Chinese in
Southeast Asia in the first half of the 20th century), Ciji Palace, Huli Hill Fort where the
world's oldest shore cannon is displayed and the hometown of Mr. Su Song (a scientist living
in the Song Dynasty)
Marco Polo’ s mystical, magical port of Zaytun(Quanzhou). Quanzhou ( which Marco
Polo called Zaitan) is a 70 mile drive north of Xiamen. Over 1,000 years ago, Xiamen was
part of Quanzhou, the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road, and prospered. Over 1,000
years before Christ, the West valued Chinese silk more highly than gold. One ship started
from Zaitan could carry as much silk as 700 cantankerous camels on the Silk Road of the
Desert. Marco Polo, who sailed for home from Quanzhou, claimed it rivaled Alexandria Egypt
as the planet’s largest and busiest port.
Special Economic Zone
In Oct 1980, Xiamen was empowered by the State Council of P.R.C. to establish special
economic zone, which is one of the first group of SEZs approved by the State. In March 1988,
Xiamen was approved by the State Council as a city under independent state planning and
was granted provincial-level authority in economic administration. From May 1989 to 1993,
the State Council granted its approvals for Xiamen to establish Taiwanese Investment Zones
respectively in Haicang, Xinglin and Jimei Districts. In March 1994, Xiamen was empowered
with local legislative power by the National People's Congress of P.R.C. As one of the few
municipalities enjoying independent status in state economic planning, Xiamen enjoys
provincial level autonomy and local legislative power in economic administration.
2010 Marco Polo – ZHENG He Academy
Culture
Xiamen has combined the long-standing traditional Minnan (Southern Fujian) culture with
modern western culture. Its friendly citizens and delightful environment make Xiamen one
of the best cities in the world, whether for working, living or studying. The blend of eastern
and western culture you encounter as you wander through the city is of endless fascination.
Transportation and Communication
As one of the most advanced cities in China, Xiamen has developed fast and convenient
means of transportation and communication. Its railway and highway systems, together with
the international airport, connect Xiamen with other major cities at home and abroad. In
terms of communication, the 2.5 G b/s wide-band internet, the GSM and CDMA mobile
telephone networks and the all-digital program-controlled telephone network bring the city
in close touch with other cities, regions and countries around the world.

Xiamen University is one of the universities in China that started higher legal education at an
early stage. In June 1926, the University established the Section of Law, under which there
were three Departments, i.e., the Law Department, the Politics Department and the
Economics Department. In February 1930, all the Sections of the University were converted
to Colleges, and the Section of Law was consequently renamed as Law School. Having
2010 Marco Polo – ZHENG He Academy
experienced several adjustments, the present Law School is organized on the basis of the
original Law Department. Over the years since its re-opening in 1979, the Law School has
attracted a pool of brilliant young and middle-aged scholars and teachers, which constitutes
a strong, well-structured and everlasting teaching and research force. Presently, there are 61
full-time teachers in the Law School, including 18 professors and 19 associate professors.
Particularly, two professors have been respectively selected into the National “Hundred,
Thousand and Ten Thousand Talent Project” (the first and the second levels) and the
“Trans-Century Talents Training Program” of the Ministry of Education.
Bearing in mind the University’s Motto of “Pursue Excellence,
Strive for Perfection”, centering on talents cultivation, and
following the goal of academic prosperity, the Law School has
developed its own characteristics in disciplinary construction.
At present, the School owns one postdoctoral program and
five LL.D. programs, it also owns eight LL.M programs and one
program of Juris Master (JM), among which International Law has been approved as the
National Key Discipline and Civil & Commercial Law the Key Discipline of Fujian Province.
The Projects of “Studies on International Economic Law and the Law of Taiwan, Hong Kong
and Macao” and “Studies on International Economic Law and Oceans Law” have
successively been approved as key construction items of the National 211 Project.
Presently, the School has 7 teaching & research sections: jurisprudence, constitution &
administrative law, civil & commercial law, criminal law, economic law, procedural law and
international law. In addition, the Law School has established the International Economic
Law Institute, the Civil & Commercial Law Institute, the Roman Law Institute and the Center
for Oceans Policy and Law, as well as the Center for JM Education and the Teaching &
Experiment Center. The School has also published its own academic journals edited by
several famous professors, i.e., Xiamen University Law Review, Journal of International
Economic Law and Roman Law and Modern Civil Law, which have all received common
recognition from the academia of China.
The Law School owns very good teaching facilities. The whole School occupies more than
10,000 square metres, among which 8,235 square metres are for capital construction of
the buildings. The School owns an office building, two teaching buildings, multi-media
classrooms and standardized case-study classrooms. Xiamen University Library not only
owns an abundant collection of legal books and materials, but also introduced and
developed some important databases of electronic journals (including LEXIS-NEXIS). In
1998, the University has specifically set up a law library as a branch of the Xiamen
University Library, which has also been approved to be a UN depository library.
The Law School of Xiamen University was among the colleges in China that first began the
teaching and research of International Economic Law. Over more than 20 years’
development, the comprehensive level of the discipline of International Economic Law has
come to rank among the top in China. Particularly, in the fields of IEL basic theories,
2010 Marco Polo – ZHENG He Academy
international investment law, international economic treaties and international economic
organizations, international tax law and international economic disputes settlement, a large
number of academic achievements have been developed with considerable influence both
at home and abroad. The Law School also started its construction of Civil & Commercial Law
at an early stage, with its research scope covering the main fields of civil and commercial
law. Based on the theories of civil and commercial law and following the practice of China’s
reform & opening and of the construction of market economy, it has developed its own
characteristic research directions. Outstanding achievements have been developed in the
fields of Civil Code and Roman Law, part of which is in the leading position in China.
Xiamen University Center for Oceans Policy and Law
(XMU-COPL) One of the Leading Research Institutes in Asia for Oceans Policy and Law Studies
Established on 15 January 2002, XMU-COPL is now affiliated with the University’s Law
School and the Ocean and Coastal Development Institute (CODI). The Center offers
consultation services irregularly to governmental agencies, NGOs, and commercial
corporations on various subjects. Center members have a wide range of expertise and
professional capabilities on ocean related subjects, e.g., marine zoning, maritime boundary
delimitation, fishery business management, marine scientific research, shipping and
navigation dispute settlement, marine environmental protection, integrated coastal zone
management, under-water civil engineering, and cultural relics
preservation …etc. The Center offers the following services to both public
and private sectors in the region: Analyzing and interpreting international
and domestic law of the sea rules; Planning of ocean research and
development strategies; Writing policy papers for ocean and coastal
management; Designing marine environmental protection constructions;
Drafting pertaining treaties or contracts; Drafting pertaining legislations; Legal services for
pertaining litigations or arbitrations; and Training programs on the above subjects. In the
past six years, with cooperation with more than fifteen ocean-oriented institutes from home
and abroad, the Center has already finished many projects, and have sponsored or
co-sponsored eleven important seminars or conferences in the field of international law and
policy-making. At present, the Center has its LL.D. and LL.M. degree programs in the field of
International Law of the Sea. More than this, it has been publishing the first and the only
oceans law journal in China, the China Oceans Law Review. The Director of the Center, Prof.
Kuen-chen Fu serves as the chief-editor of this commonly acknowledged academic
periodical.

Shanghai Where ZHENG He Started His Journey To Africa
A Guide to Shanghai 2009
By Bob Lai1
I started visiting Shanghai 12 years ago to look for my roots. By the standards of the rest
of the world at that time, Shanghai was materially backward. Yet compared to inland
regions in China, it was comfortable and sophisticated. At a grocery store on Nanjing Road,
you could buy fresh milk and bread. Women wore dresses with flowery patterns and
spreading fringes that were reminiscent of western couture many decades ago. Because of
my family roots and the combination of east and west that was a legacy of its colonial days,
this old Shanghai seemed both familiar and exotic. Its beautiful mansions in the French
concession, stone grotto alleys, three-story houses with tiger windows, narrow streets lined
with shops and plane trees, ballroom dance halls, traditional bathhouses, the Park Hotel,
the Paramount, the amusement center in Xin Shi Jie, the city library which was once the
betting house of the race track, the ferry to Pudong—such places had a hold on the
imagination because of the stories that haunted around them and their link with relatives
who had always lived in the city.
But that is the old Shanghai. Since then much of it has been torn down and replaced with
the most modern of roads, parks, office buildings, and condominiums. It has also grown
many times in size. There are thriving new neighborhoods in Gubei (古北), Xujiahui (徐家
匯), and Pudong (浦東, east of the river) where suburbs or rice paddies used to be. Within
Pu Xi (浦西, west of the river), an ordinary city guide lists 300 pubs and restaurants and
these are only the recommended ones. Each weekend, there are openings for new
restaurants, hotels, pubs, and discos. Luxury brands host parties where the scene of an old
mansion or riverside park, lavish stage props, thousands of well-dressed guests, and
hundreds of staff and security make the description of “gala” or “extravaganza” seem
inadequate.
Against the background of the reforms initiated by Deng
Xiaoping thirty years ago, Shanghai has regained some of its
former grandeur and reaffirmed its namesake which bears
the connotations of “float on the sea” (海上) and “descend
into worldliness” (下海).
But the blending of old and new, east and west, and capitalism and socialism is not
1 (about the author) The son of a former ambassador to the U. S. and Italy, Bob lived between Europe and America when he was young, then moved to the Orient to look for his roots and receive a Chinese education. Because of his background and his mother, who is originally from Shanghai, he is able to provide not only insider advice on how to tour the city, but also unique insight into the evolution of a society.
2010 Marco Polo – ZHENG He Academy
complete and not, by any means, homogeneous. The hardware has been put into place but
the sensibility of the average citizen is still moored in the backwaters of state enterprise. It
is a curious combination. Local people often don’t have the faintest idea what many
newfangled things are for. Nor do they feel comfortable with the dizzying pace of change.
For foreigners, Shanghai holds a powerful attraction. It is partly the mystique of old
Shanghai with its legendary wealth, culture, and decadence that they are looking for. It is
also the cosmopolitan atmosphere which has been compared to New York. Though
Shanghai is not yet as cultured or sophisticated as New York, it is also not as established
and predictable. In this may lie the secret of Shanghai’s charisma. She is a baby New
York blessed with the future.
It is a situation that is not so different from the colonization of America by Europeans in the
nineteenth century. But in this case, east meets west and two hundred years of industrial
revolution and technological progress have been condensed into two decades. The speed of
change, the collision of cultures, the "pioneer" mood--the sense of a virgin land with
unlimited possibilities for anyone who has a dream--these are the reasons why people from
all over the world come. For the designer, it is a workshop for new concepts. For the
debutante and libertine, it is a playground. For the sociologist, it is a laboratory where an
experiment that has never been attempted before in the history of mankind is going on.
For these reasons, it is difficult to appreciate Shanghai if your time is limited. As is true of
New York, the short visit may only leave an impression of chaos. But if you have only a few
days’ time, here are some of the places you should consider visiting:
There are places on the itinerary of most visitors to Shanghai—Cheng Huang Temple (豫園),
Shanghai Museum (上海博物館), Peace Hotel (和平飯店), Dong Tai Road Antique Market (東
台路古董街), and Xintiandi (新天地), to name a few.
Chenghuang Temple (城隍庙) or Yu Yuan (豫園) is a complex of buildings that represent the
oldest part of the city. On its periphery are shops that sell cheap clothing, fake antiques,
and tourist souvenirs and restaurants that serve food which is quite ordinary. There is a diner
that is famous for its steamed dumplings but they are no match for Ding Tai Feng (鼎泰豐),
the Taiwanese dumplings franchise which has a branch in Xintiandi. Wandering among this
maze of shops that teems with life, it is easy to overlook the focal point of the visit which
should be the temple, an old wooden teahouse in the center of a pond, and the large
southern-style garden in back of it. If you go, you should visit these sites. The garden takes
about an hour to walk though. Its doors close at 3 PM. It was the estate of the Pan family
during the Ming Dynasty 450 years ago, and then renovated several times again in the last
200 years. There are, of course, more exquisite gardens in Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Due to its immense fame, Xintiandi (新天地) is also a mandatory stop and certainly worth a
visit, especially at night when the old buildings are most charming by the dim light of
antique lamps. This five acre restoration and re-gentrification of a run-down neighborhood
2010 Marco Polo – ZHENG He Academy
was a sensation when it opened seven years ago. It has classy restaurants like Va Bene, T8,
and Xin Ji Shi (新吉士) and clubs that pack the house nightly with live shows such as Luna,
Ark, and La Maison. An annex in the next block was added three years ago with a plaza for
events, a cinema, fashion boutiques, and more restaurants and clubs. As an example of
urban planning, Xintiandi is a clever blend of old and new and a solution to the problem of
how the city’s lane-houses could be preserved. But it is hard to say how much of old
Shanghai this place has distilled. The style is really more post-modern than it is traditional.
The shops are quite middle-of-the-road in taste. The people are mostly from out of town.
One who is looking for genuine atmosphere will probably not find it here.
If you like Chinese art, you should go to the Shanghai Museum (上海博物館) in People’s
Square. The museum is ugly from the outside. To say that its design is based on the idea of
a rice cooker would not be far from the truth. Its collection is meager when compared to the
Palace Museum in Taiwan where the best treasures from China are kept. But its works are
well chosen and tastefully displayed. If you are interested in collecting antiques, the Fuzhou
Road Antique Market (福州路古玩市場) is just a few blocks away. If there is time, also take
a walk through Dong Tai Road Antique Market (東台路古董街), an older market with more
character. A few decades ago traditional art was spurned by the populace for its feudalism
and decadence which explains why you could once come across real treasures here at
bargain prices. Then antique collecting and auctioning came into fashion and a huge
underground forgery industry kicked in so that pieces of true value are now few and far
between. Still, they are interesting places to try one’s luck. Even without a worthy souvenir to
take home, the bargaining that goes on and the tricks that dealers play can be as
entertaining as the works themselves.
The Peace Hotel (和平飯店), at the corner of Nanjing Lu (南京路) and the Bund (外灘), is one
of Shanghai’s most famous historical landmarks and worth a short visit. Take a walk
through the lobby and the gallery on the second floor and you will get some feel of the
atmosphere of the city in the thirties. People stay for the nightly jazz show which is said to
be performed by the same musicians as in the old days. But there is little flavor of old
Shanghai in this act, with cameras flashing incessantly and the drummer’s foot lagging half
a beat behind the rest of the band. If you are at the Peace Hotel, also visit M (for Michelle,
the Aussie owner) on the Bund which is three blocks west on the same riverfront. The
address is No. 20, 7F, Guangdong Lu (廣東路 20號 7樓). This is the earliest example of a
trendy new franchise in an old colonial building on the Bund. Due to its pleasing décor,
quality food and service, and the ace up its sleeve which is a sweeping view of the Bund,
Huang Pu River (黃浦江), and Pudong from its balcony, it has enjoyed steady business since
it opened many years ago and has become a favorite among the foreign community.
Recently, the same owner opened The Glamour Bar on the sixth floor. Its wooden floors,
comfortable sofas, oval bar that seems studded with pink jewels, and beautiful views of the
river and Pudong make it an attractive place to go for a cup of tea in the late afternoon or a
drink in the evening.
Across the street is Three on the Bund, a restoration of an old six-story building along the
2010 Marco Polo – ZHENG He Academy
lines of its prototype Xintiandi, but with more elegance and grandeur in mind. The first
floor houses an Armani boutique. The second, the elegant Evian Spa, whose chaste interior
resembles a Greek temple. On the third floor is the Shanghai Gallery of Art where the best
view can be had of the pyramid-shaped atrium which is the center piece of the whole
building. Above that is Jean Georges, a French restaurant whose exquisite décor in shades of
gold and black and menu of innovative dishes have given it a reputation as the classiest
restaurant in town. On the sixth floor is Laris, a restaurant whose walls and floor are a
beautiful mosaic of inlaid, pastel-colored stones. It is a popular place because of the tasty
food, the pleasing ambience, the view of the river, and the added novelty of a seafood bar
and chocolate factory. On the top floor is a restaurant called New Heights which is more
casual in ambiance than its neighbors with fusion food, a younger clientele, and a bar area
connected to a balcony with a view of the river.
A block away from the Peace Hotel is Bund Eighteen, a later restoration of an old building
than Three on the Bund with the same concept in mind. Designers of this project used
pale-colored mosaic tiles and Venetian glass chandeliers in the scheme of the atrium to give
a feeling of lightness and translucency. The building has luxury clothing and jewelry
boutiques on the first and second floors, an elegant Shanghai style restaurant named Tan
Wai Lou on the fifth floor (Postmodernism is even part of the name of Tan Wai Lou or
“Pavilion outside the Bund”, a play on word that doesn’t make linguistic or geographical
sense.) On the sixth floor is the popular new French restaurant Mr. and Mrs. Bund with
concept art decor and minimalist/molecular style food. To add to the wackiness of this
sumptuous but also screwball venue, its opening time extends into the wee hours of the
morning. On the roof of Bund Eighteen is Bar Rouge which derives its name from the
Venetian glass chandeliers that hang from its ceiling. It owes its popularity to its elegant
décor, acrobatic bartender, trendy music played by a resident DJ, and a huge terrace with a
sweeping view of the river close to its great bend. It is so crowded on weekends that a
barricade is often set up downstairs to regulate the flow of customers.
In the French Concession, there are several stylish restaurant/bars which inhabit the bodies
of colonial mansions. One of the earliest and most famous of these is a place called Face
inside the garden of Rui Jin Hostel (瑞金賓館). It is easier to get there if you ask the cab
driver to take you to the gate of 瑞金賓館 that is on 復興路. Or you can enter by the gate
on 茂名路 and see the garden on your way there. The interior of the mansion has red walls
and is decorated with large wooden statues and furniture from China and Southeast Asia.
There are traditional Chinese wooden frame beds fitted with padding and pillows where two
or three people can have a drink lying down and (as always happens) indulge in fantasies of
decadence. The Thai restaurant on the second floor has a nice view of the garden but the
Indian restaurant on the first floor is reputed to have better food. This exotic building that
was the most fashionable place to hang out in the city five years ago is now the haunt of
people from out of town. Its status as an anachronism is a testament to the changeableness
of life “on the sea”.
There are other restaurant/bars in old aristocratic buildings. One of lesser renown is La Villa
2010 Marco Polo – ZHENG He Academy
Rouge on Hengshan Lu (衡山路) at Xujiahui Park (徐家匯公園). All by itself at the edge of a
beautiful park, it is smaller, quieter, and more upscale than Face. There is a restaurant and a
cozy little bar on the side with music played by a live jazz band. It is a wonderful place to
have a drink with a friend late at night. Once the home of a famous Chinese general, the
Spanish style mansion Ambrosia at 159 Fenyang Road (汾陽路 59號) serves Japanese food
and has a sumptuous buffet on weekends. The food and atmosphere have been highly
praised by all who have gone there. There is also Lao Che Zhan (老車站, or Old Train Station)
at the circle of Xu Jia Hui (徐家匯) which is an old Christian monastery with two train cars in
the garden that once carried dignitaries such as Song Qingling, wife of Sun Yatsen. You can
choose to dine in either the main hall of the monastery or the train cars. The restaurant
serves decent Shanghainese food and has a display of old photos and early modern
antiques in its long hallway.
The monarch of all establishments in this vein is a club named The Yong Foo Elite (雍福會)
at 250 Yongfu Road (永福路 250號) near the corner of Yongfu Lu and Hunan Lu (湖南路).
The estate, which formerly housed the British Consulate, was acquired and re-designed by a
local Shanghainese antique collector who has achieved what must be the greatest
concentration of early modern Chinese and western antiques in one venue. All of them are
of museum quality so it is like a museum. On the other hand, everything is functional. A
walk through the enchanting building, garden, and teahouse in the evening is not only like a
trip through time to some aristocratic mansion in antiquity, but also like an excursion to
some celestial place—possibly the moon palace of Chinese legend.
The Radisson Hotel (興國賓館) was built by the French in the 1920s, used by the Communist
government as a residence for foreign dignitaries, then renovated and opened for business.
In its public form, the place retains a relaxed and private ambience. When you go, ask the
driver to enter the gate and drop you off at the hotel. It is an elegant building with a
charming coffeeshop. But spend your time taking a walk in the garden. Have a look at the
white mansion in the southeast corner. Behind it is a broad lawn surrounded by magnificent
trees. Amid such splendor, one can envision what aristocratic life must have been like in the
French Concession long ago.
The Radisson is also at the center of the most exclusive neighborhood in the Concession.
When you exit the garden through the gate on 興國路, embark on one of the nicest walks in
town by making a right and following興國路 for 100 meters. Then double back, make a right
on湖南路 and a quick left on高郵路, cutting across to復興路. From there, go right on復興
路 for 100 meters, then double back and follow the road to its end at華山路. Make a right
there and continue down 華山路 for another 100 meters. You will see many beautiful old
houses along the way, including Ding Xiang Garden which was a gift to one of the wives of
the Qing Dynasty Minister Li Hongzhang. It costs nothing and takes only a half an hour.
The most exciting post-modern experiments in restoration of old buildings are taking place
in the warehouse district by the banks of Suzhou Creek. One example of this is at 1247
South Suzhou Creek Road (南蘇州河路 1247號). It is on the downtown side of the canal
2010 Marco Polo – ZHENG He Academy
between Taicang Lu (太倉路) and Xinqiao Lu (新橋路). The place was designed by the
Taiwanese architect Deng Kunyan and is run by a movie director named Steve Wang. On the
third floor is a large room with bare floorboards, stark wooden beams, and refitted steel and
glass windows that is used for events. In the beginning, few appreciated the unromantic,
post holocaust atmosphere of this place, perhaps too much of a reminder of the stark
socialist past. But it caught on and has been an important venue for designer brand
launches, company parties, and even wedding ceremonies of local Shanghainese. It is
another variation on the bonding of past and present that is going on in modern Shanghai.
Across the river from this location is the Creek Art Center, a restoration of an old flour
factory that was originally to be demolished. Art exhibits are held on the second and third
floors. Lectures, movies, and rock and roll concerts take place on the fourth floor. On the
sixth floor, there is a restaurant which serves Mediterranean-style food. Its charming décor
and sweeping view of the industrial neighborhood make dinner a special experience. This
gray-red brick building is a nostalgic remnant of an earlier time. Standing alone on the north
bank of the canal like a sentinel guarding the past, its stark charm gives assurance that the
decision to preserve it was the right one.
For lovers of contemporary art, there are two other sites worth visiting. The older, smaller
“Taikang Lu” is a charming alley full of small studios, galleries, boutiques, cafes, restaurants,
and teahouses. It is on Taikang Lu (泰康路) between Sinan Lu (思南路) and Ruijing Lu (瑞金
路) close to downtown. The newer, larger “Moganshan Lu” is a complex of some 50 studios
and galleries in old warehouses at 50 Moganshan Lu (莫干山路 50號) by Suzhou Creek.
One could spend a leisurely afternoon at either of these places. Of course it is hard to say
how good contemporary art in China is at this time. The country went through a revolution
that severed its connections with the past. One can see that many artists are struggling not
only to find a style, but also a context for their work. But the presence of so many galleries
displaying so much work may be a sign of hope.
Food is an inexhaustible subject for a city that has seen hundreds of new restaurants open
within the last ten years. Some of the most innovative experiments in both cuisine and
restaurant design are taking place on this testing ground of the human palate. A few places
that have gained recognition were noted before. Some others are worthy of mention.
Mediterraneo, at 1317武定西路 near 江蘇路, is in a colonial style house redecorated to
look like a villa in Capri. It has kept a low profile in Shanghai so that it is never overrun with
people but it serves good Italian food amid the pleasing setting of a beautiful garden and
veranda. Jade on 36, at 36F, Tower 2, Shangrila Hotel, Pudong (浦東香格里拉酒店 新樓 翡
翠 36), offers a breathtaking view of Shanghai. Its entry is a giant rice bowl complete with
rice grain chandelier and the bar a pink and green Chinese jewel box. The food is Euro-Asian
in adventuresome combinations, presentations, and textures—leaves, paper-thin wafers,
sorbets, foams, infusions--that are both delicious and funny. The union of a decor and
cuisine that are both deconstructionist in logic makes for a unique dining experience. The
Kitchen, also riverside in Pudong but at ground level, is at Unit D, 2967 Lujiazui Xi Lu (陸家
2010 Marco Polo – ZHENG He Academy
嘴西路 2967 號 D 座). Despite the awkward name (its owner is Japanese), it offers a
magnificent view of the Bund and the best pizza and pasta in town. A Future Perfect is a
kind of boutique diner in a small house with a small garden at 16, Lane 351, Huashan Lu
(華山路 351弄 16號) in an area where Shanghai’s writers and artists used to live. Its small
size is part of its charm, in addition to the fresh, wholesome, tasty food that costs very little
but is cooked with much feeling and skill.
The good tourist who is looking for local flavor will inevitably ask the question that had been
obscured by such a flood of exotic options. And that is: How can I do as the Shanghainese do
when I am in Shanghai? Where can I find a good local restaurant? To which the answer is far
from clear since there are many places which out-of-towners go to because they are
well-advertised but where show exceeds substance and the same quality of food is available
elsewhere at a fraction of the cost. But there are some unlisted places where
Shanghainese whose families have lived in the city for generations often go. This is saying a
great deal for a cuisine in which food is sent back to the kitchen when a pinch of extra
cornstarch has clouded the glaze or five seconds’ extra time in boiling water has ruined the
buttery softness of the shrimp. Ji Shi (吉士) is a small two-level restaurant on Tianping Lu (天
平路) 20 meters from the intersection of Huaihai Lu (淮海路). It is not the same as the
aforementioned Xin Ji Shi or “New Ji Shi” (新吉士), a popular chain whose style is based on
Ji Shi. Here at “original Ji Shi”, there is a pleasant and unassuming old Shanghai ambience
with cheerful lighting, old photos of the city on the wall, creaky floorboards, a steep staircase
to the second level, and small tables arranged close to one another. The food is authentic
Shanghainese cuisine, both deep in flavor and impeccable in appearance. Lan Gui Fang (蘭
桂芳) is another old restaurant at the corner of Xianxia Lu (仙霞路) and Loushanguan Lu (樓
山觀路). It has a menu that consists exclusively of seafood noodles which is a novelty. The
notion of seafood noodles as an independent genre of food may even be an original concept.
But its style of cooking is quintessentially Shanghainese. A popular dish, huang yu noodles
(黃魚麵), uses huang yu or “yellow croaker”--king of fish in Shanghainese cuisine--as its main
ingredient. The clam and crab noodles are also exquisite. Chun (春) or “Spring” is on
Jinxian Lu (進賢路) 30 meters from the intersection of 茂名路. With no décor and only ten
square meters of space to accomodate four tables, it looks like a hole-in-the-wall. Yet
well-dressed Japanese women with dainty manners sit expectantly waiting for their orders,
unfazed by the lack of linen and silverware and limos sometimes park outside while
executives dine within. It has a family atmosphere and serves delicious traditional
Shanghainese food in large portions.
The history of nightlife in Shanghai is in itself a most intriguing story. Until ten years ago, it
was considered decadent to go drinking and dancing late into the night. There were also only
one or two places of dubious reputation to go to. Then in the mid-90s, Shanghai came out of
the closet. Clubbing suddenly became acceptable. Club population experienced a Big Bang.
Old Shanghai sophistication which socialism had never thoroughly erased also made the
perception of what is trendy as important as the place itself. Today, there are not only all
kinds of clubs in existence, but several openings of new venues every month. The abundance
of clubs and the glamour of party life is a distinctive characteristic of the new Shanghai and
2010 Marco Polo – ZHENG He Academy
for many fashionable young people, a way of life, as evidenced by their weekend texting of
the message “Where’s the party?”
Lounge 18 on the fourth floor of Bund 18 is a relatively new venue with a beautiful old
wooden floor, a comfortable layout, a well-trained bar, and music that has character.
Though no less glamorous, it is a more leisurely alternative to its aforementioned upstairs
neighbor Bar Rouge which can be frenetic or touristy at times. It is one of the few nightspots
in Shanghai where it is possible to both carry on an intimate conversation and dance. Mint, a
branch of an international chain, occupies the top floor of a building on the corner of Fuzhou
Lu (福州路) and Shandong Lu (山東路) not far from the Bund. A combination of restaurant,
disco, and sky lounge with velvet curtains, dark, metallic-colored décor, and a long aquarium
filled with live sharks, it has managed its door skillfully and staged enough promotional
events to maintain its charisma for businessmen and the nouveau riche. Of several swanky
“mega bars” in town, it is the only one that has enjoyed popularity over a long period of time.
For younger venues that play hiphop, Muse has enjoyed the most popularity since its
opening two years ago. It is at No. 68 Yuyao Lu (余姚路) near Xikang Lu (西康路) north of
Jing An Temple in what was formerly an industrial part of town. There is a techno room and
hip-hip room downstairs and a VIP lounge upstairs where hiphop is often performed live and
where fashionable young local people and overseas Chinese gather in great numbers.
Following the success of this venue, a whole complex of clubs and bars mushroomed up
around it but none with any ambiance to speak of. Muse, with its backstreet location and
barren décor, has very little ambiance itself so that its success is a riddle. Part of its
mystique could be the management which made Park 97 famous. They may also have
benefited from the decline of other trendy hiphop clubs such as Guan Di and Volar which
once held a magical attraction for young locals and overseas Chinese. The most ephemeral
aspect of urban life is the popularity of nightspots and it is often anyone’s guess who the
goddess of nightclubs will smile on next.
The aforementioned Park 97 is in the old French Park--now Fuxing Park (復興公園)--at the
corner of Sinan Lu (思南路) and Gaolan Lu (皋蘭路). It used to be a combination of a
restaurant and techno club on the first floor and a second floor lounge with a live band that
played oldies from the 70s and 80s. Because of the charm of its location and its diversity, it
held, in the words of one sour competitor, “a stranglehold on Shanghai nightlife” since its
opening in 2000. Recently it underwent a renovation and reopened as a techno club with
loud music, dark lighting, and a local clientele so that it is now more limited in appeal.
Among pure techno clubs, the most popular one in recent times has been Muse 2. Located
on the top floor of the luxury mall Plaza 66 at 1266 Nanjing Xi Lu (南京西路), it has a twenty
meter-high ceiling, a huge semi-circular window, white stone floors and walls with matching
white curtains, minimalist furniture, and a graceful floor plan. Owned by a prominent
Chinese actress who spent many years in Hong Kong, it hosts visits from world class DJs and
is frequented by entertainment industry people, businessmen, and the offspring of cadres
who are riding the crest of the Marxist-Capitalist wave that is sweeping China. This white
2010 Marco Polo – ZHENG He Academy
techno palace would be a sure hit if not for its music which is a little loud, even by techno
standards, and its somewhat homogeneous crowd of nouveau riche Chinese.
Since the 1980s, rock and roll has lived and thrived in China with surprisingly little
contention from the government. In Shanghai, rock and roll can be experienced at two
venues. The older one, Yuyintang (育音堂), is at the corner of Yanan Xi Lu (延安西路) and
Kaixuan Lu (凱旋路). It is a homey place with a history of some great shows. The new one,
Mao Live, is inside a charming new complex of studios and galleries at No. 570 Huaihai Xi
Lu (淮海西路 570號). Its large space and ample budget have enabled it to produce some
big shows recently including some top acts from Japan. In addition to Shanghainese bands,
these venues occasionally host bands from the north of China where the China rock
movement began and is still the most vibrant.
Jazz, the flower of western urban civilization, would seem to have little place in a developing,
post-socialist society. But jazz was part of Shanghai’s illustrious past in the 1930s when it
was the most fashionable place in the world and it has not forgotten that heritage. There are
several well-known jazz clubs in town. Blues and Jazz, at the corner of Fuzhou Lu (福州路)
and the Bund, is owned by a popular Shanghainese TV celebrity. Although it is the most
senior of all the jazz clubs, it has an emphasis on newer, fusion jazz. CJW (“Cigar, Jazz, and
Wine”) is also a popular venue with good music but being in Xintiandi, cannot escape the
commercial feeling of its surroundings. With its smoke-filled air, intimate tables, and quality
bands that play jazz from the 50s and 60s, JZ Club at No. 46 Fuxing Lu (復興號 46號) in the
middle of the French Concession may be the quintessential jazz club of Shanghai. Its large
following of both local and foreign clients who are serious about jazz seem to bear this out.
If you are in Shanghai for more than a few days and the weather is nice, try to schedule a
trip to Hangzhou to see the West Lake, or Xi Hu (西湖). It is a convenient day journey by train.
If you have only a few hours to see the lake, hire a boat and ask the boatsman to take you
past Duan Qiao (斷橋), Bai Ti (白堤), Hu Xin Ting (湖心亭), Su Ti (蘇堤), and finally San Tan
Ying Yue (三潭印月), an island in the middle of the lake where you can stop for a short visit.
Such a ride alone would be satisfying. If you have more time, visit places around the lake
including Xi Lin Qiao (西泠橋), Qu Yuan Feng He (曲院風荷), Hua Gang Guan Yu (花港觀魚),
Lin Yin Temple (臨隱寺), and Liu He Pagoda (六合塔). There is also a relatively unknown
lakeside estate called Guo Zhuang (郭莊)--or Guo Family Manor--which should be on your
itinerary. This tranquil complex of gardens, terraces, and pavilions contains a lake and is
also adjoined by the larger one. Not only is it an ideal place from which to view Xi Hu, there
is also pleasure to be gained from the contemplation of this mirroring, which is a variation
on the themes of ever-changing vistas and the universe in miniature which constitute the
Chinese garden aesthetic.
In the end, no particular aspect of the Xi Hu is more outstanding than any other. There is no
center point. It is rather the cumulative process of exploring the lake and, while doing so,
getting a little lost in its maze of inlets, woods, bridges, ponds, and dikes, that is the source
of its great charm. This is why people who have spent a little time there want to linger by the
2010 Marco Polo – ZHENG He Academy
lake for a while longer so that they end up prolonging their stay, sometimes indefinitely.
Another convenient day trip is to Suzhou, the Venice of China and a city that is steeped in
ancient culture and history. There is the famous pagoda at Hu Qiu (虎丘) there and a
beautiful park which surrounds it. There are Zhuo Zheng Yuan (拙政園) and Liu Yuan (留園),
the best examples of the southern Chinese garden. There is the bell-tower in Han Shan
Temple (寒山寺 ) that was immortalized in a famous poem from the Tang Dynasty.
Unfortunately, most of the old houses in the city have been torn down and the once
picturesque canals covered up by roads so that you can no longer hire a boat and tour the
city on water. Since ten years ago, Suzhou has been at the mercy of Marxist-Capitalist
policies. At the center of the city is a new shopping mall and at its center, like a jewel in a
crown, a Pizza Hut. In an instant, you are transported to suburban America. It is a sad irony
that the government views these measures as progress in the ongoing implementation of
their "Chinese style of socialism".
For a true taste of a traditional southern Chinese canal city these days, you need to go to
smaller versions of Suzhou that have yet to be spoiled by modernization. There are still a few
of these, among which Zhou Zhuang (周莊) is the most well-known. But since it became
popular, its residents have moved away and its houses turned into souvenir shops so that it
has become a town without a soul. About the same distance from Shanghai is a similar
place called Wu Zhen (烏鎮) where residents still go about their normal daily life. It is
therefore more highly recommended. To get to either of them, take a bus from the Sports
Stadium (萬人體育館) in Xu Jia Hui (徐家匯) between 8 and 10 in the morning. You can
come back on the same ticket any time later in the day.
The best entertainment and events guide to Shanghai is a monthly magazine named That's
Shanghai. It is comprehensive and intelligently-written. Shanghai Talk is more concise but
still informative and very sophisticated in taste. You can get a copy of these publications for
free from major hotels and western style restaurants. There is also a website at
<www.smartshanghai.com> which has daily information about events and restaurants with
consumer reviews that are useful for reference.

Shanghai Jiao Tong University KoGuan Law School
At the end of the 19th century, Mr. Sheng Xuanhuai and a group of men of
foresight founded the Nanyang Public School in Shanghai—the predecessor
of Shanghai Jiao Tong University-- in the belief that "the top priority for
strengthening the nation is to cultivate talents, and to cultivate talents, we
must first run good schools". On December 14, 1920, the school was
renamed as the Jiao Tong University.
2010 Marco Polo – ZHENG He Academy
Law education at the university can be traced back to the special political curriculum offered
in the period of the Nanyang Public School. Presided over by Mr. Cai Yuanpei, the curriculum
was initiated in 1901, and included courses on constitutions, international public law and
international treaties. Eminent alumni such as Xu Mo, Li Shutong (Master Hong Yi) and
Wang Chonghui were from this class. Xu Mo was the first Chinese judge in the UN
International Court of Justice, Li Shutong was the earliest scholar translating and introducing
juristic works from the West, and Wang Chonghui was the first Foreign Minister of the
Government of the Republic of China, who signed the UN Charter as the delegate of the
Chinese Government and was twice appointed judge in the UN International Court of
Justice.
The history of the Law School of Shanghai Jiao Tong
University can be traced back to the Teaching and
Research Department of Law established in 1986. After
six years' exploration, the undergraduate program in law
was formally established in 1992. The first group of
undergraduates in law was admitted in 1993, thus
starting the modern history of professional education in
law in the university. In 1996, the Law Department was
established, which acquired the right to confer master's degrees in law in 1998. On June 8,
2002, the Law School was established, and RMB 25 million yuan was earmarked to carry
out the first phase of construction. The Law School thus entered into a period of rapid
development. While sticking to its core mission of educating law undergraduates, the School
obtained the right to confer master's degrees in 8 grade-2 disciplines and grade-1
disciplines in law, the right to confer the Juris in law specialty, as well as the right to confer
the doctoral degree in constitutional law and administrative law.
On July 31, 2007, the Leo KoGuan Foundation of the United States generously donated USD
30 million to the Law School to construct a law building on the Xuhui campus of the
university, engage famous professors in law, build an academic brand and cultivate talents
for governing the country and teaching the next generation of law majors. On September 20,
2008, the Law School of Shanghai Jiao Tong University was renamed the "Leo KoGuan Law
School of Shanghai Jiao Tong University" in order to commemorate the magnanimous act of
the Leo KoGuan Foundation.
