A 2,400-meter-deep physics laboratory in southwest China's Sichuan Province became operational on Thursday, making it the deepest and largest underground lab in the world. Scientists believe the laboratory provides a "clean" space for them to pursue the invisible substance known as dark matter. They said the extreme depth helps block most cosmic rays that mess with the observation. The Deep Underground and Ultra-low Radiation Background Facility for Frontier Physics Experiments (DURF) is located beneath Jinping Mountain in Sichuan's Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture. The DURF, with a total room capacity of 330,000 cubic meters, is the second phase of China Jinping Underground Laboratory.

Yuyuan Garden, a cultural beacon of Shanghai, is the largest, oldest and best-preserved traditional Chinese-style garden in this metropolis of east China. Yuyuan Garden in Hamburg, a mimic of that in Shanghai, also features typical Chinese style pavilions and zigzag bridges above the ponds, and has been serving as a window to display traditional Chinese culture since it opened to the public in 2008. Yuyuan Garden is obviously not the only thing that the two cities have in common. Shanghai and Hamburg are the biggest harbor city in their own countries, respectively.
