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. Currently there are 15 shipping routes linking the Port of Hamburg and major ports in China. About one-third of freighters at the Port of Hamburg are bound for China or originate there.

Liangping District won the "International Wetland City" from the Ramsar Convention this year. The district has built a national-level wetland park, Shuanggui Lake national wetland park. It also shines in the protection and utilization of small and micro wetlands. Farmers grew rice, vegetables, lotus, fish, and shrimps in small and micro wetlands, including the district's many ponds and rice paddies. Organic agriculture in such mini wetlands helped reduce the use of fertilizers and pesticides. The scenic views also boosted ecological tourism to raise farmers' incomes. (Xinhua/Wang Quanchao)
