Amsterdam the Classic Beautiful City


Rows of narrow windowless building lot, peeking from behind the trees that line up neatly from a distance the buildings look like toy building. Each displays the beauty competition. While the edge, the boat gliding leisurely along the canal, carrying passengers anywhere either. This is the Herengracht, Amsterdam, in the eyes of Jan van Der Heyden, Dutch painter. The scene is painted around the year 1670 was barely changed in the present. Change was going on in the canal by the ships now noisy tourist passenger machine. The buildings that appear in the paintings remain stable, timeless and modernization.

Try along areas such as surround Prinsengracht canal or the Keizersgracht, the architecture of the building is so unique and compelling. The area is characterized by slender buildings, tall, windowless lot, covered decorative standing coincide. The width of the buildings built in the 17th century was roughly about 9 meters. The narrowness of the building is an effort to avoid high taxes. Understandably at that time, the building tax is calculated based on the width of the building, thus the narrower the building the lower the tax too.

Amsterdam is the past preserved. Old buildings had been left abandoned or replaced by new buildings, but maintained and operational. Amsterdam has about 20,000 old buildings, where approximately one-third built in the 17th century. Most of these buildings have historical value and are protected by the Dutch government. So many monumental buildings in Amsterdam city center so that UNESCO was nominated for entry into the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Seeing Amsterdam charm now, who would have thought if at first this area was a swamp in theory, there is no building that can stand on wet ground. But Dutch society is not desperate. They use wooden pillars planted deep in a solid foundation for the building to strengthen the construction the building erected coincide, where one building "lean" on the building next door.

Implementation of a careful urban planning was done around the 1600's. Canals were built as a system for managing water, transportation, and defense systems against the enemy. Channel paths are arranged around a residential area and eventually lead to the ocean. When viewed from the air, canal paths looks like cobwebs woven neatly. Every corner of the canal is marked by important buildings such as churches and monuments or open areas. Prinsengracht, for example, in one corner stood Westerkerk, the largest Protestant church in Amsterdam. From a distance this church looks very striking with bright blue tower soaring. So do not worry about getting lost in Amsterdam, beautiful buildings can be used to mark the direction of your journey.

If the count is calculated, the length of the canal in Amsterdam, reaching more than 100 kilometers and there are 1500 bridges to connect the lines between these channels, with so many water lines, Amsterdam, as if standing on the water. Venice of the North, so many people call it. But Amsterdam is more unique than a total of Venice filled with water. Maybe just Amsterdam, the metropolis where the water path of peace coupled with ground traffic noise.

Xinjiang China's Far West



Xinjiang is China face that we rarely see. Located at the western end, the province is dominated by Islamists are supported many ethnic groups from countries around the border. Silk Road route that crosses this area made him popular among the travelers. If China is the country in the Far East, the land of Xinjiang is China's far west. I'm not just talking about its geographical location. This area was "far away" because he demanded an explorer and adventurer soul for anyone who wants to visit her. 'Xinjiang' means 'new territory', the name given by the Qing Dynasty. After several decades of stubborn resistance to fight the Xiongnu Mongolian warriors, China finally fully mastered this area in 60 BC. Xinjiang authorities change rapidly within a few centuries later, from the Royal Turks, Mongols, until finally, China. This area is full of disputes, historical then coloring the modern version of Xinjiang today.

Xinjiang bordering eight countries one of them Tibet With a total area of 1.6 million square kilometers or the equivalent combination of German, French, English, and Spanish, the province is only a few people to support (20 million people, based on 2006 data). This configuration makes it one of the world regions in terms of population. The weather here classified as extreme, can be very hot and cold alternately in a short time.

Anyone can come alone (no need to join the group as they entered Israel). Even so, officers will be watching closely the movement of the visitors to check passports at the hotel where you stay.

Go to Xinjiang, you can take a flight from Beijing, Shanghai, and major cities in China. Another alternative is to take the train, as I often do a lot of tourists and in this way will provide a very unique experience. During the five days through the Shanghai-Kashgar, you'll see the panorama of the whole of China. Train tour to start, but you need to remember that the journey took five days. They are not patient should decide on the plane alone. The atmosphere of studying at a school, see the Arabic script on the blackboard and walls, while pictures of communist leaders of the world-Friedrich Engels, Lenin, and Mao Tse Tung carriage mounted on it comfortably. If you want to enjoy a good night sleep, choose a private room that offers a soft mattress. The cost is not too expensive. But if you want to feel alive like the Chinese community, go to the compartment floor mat that includes a rough 60 people, exciting experience for adventure lovers.

Although the Cultural Revolution, China successfully combing, Islam still exist in Xinjiang, with some exceptions of course. Religion sky tribe lived by Hui (ethnic Chinese) and the Uighurs (ethnic Turkish descent). But the Islamists are now monitored with suspicion and tightly controlled. Each activity is monitored religious smell, as if they were going to do the separatist movement. Muslims in Xinjiang did have a sense of his own nationalist agenda established by the East Turkestan Republic, as expressed in China in 1940, sparked an government population policy in the form of tax relief for residents of Han (the dominant ethnicity in China) if they want to move to Xinjiang. Outside the military members and their families, Han composition has now reached 40 percent of the total population of Xinjiang.

And in 1950 they numbered only six percent of the population. The tax policy of the government's seductive not only clear economic motive, rather than a political strategy aimed at undermining the nationalist agenda of the people of Xinjiang, By changing the social map and the configuration of the population, Xinjiang China to change directly from the roots. Muslims are generally very friendly with other faiths, especially with Christians, because they share the same prophets. Of course, I do not represent the attitude of all people. There must be the radicals in every religion. But the majority of Uighur Muslims run the "relaxed". The basic rule that they strictly obey is not to eat pork, stay away from alcohol, and diligent prayer.
