Waterways ~




There are several navigable rivers in China, especially in Southern China. They link many major cities together. Moreover, the geography and location of China were very significant for their transportation. This feature made China had a good quality in transportation.

Yangtze River Corridor Development

Advantage of water transportation in China.
- Water transportation had less of an impact on the environment than rail or road highway.
- Water transportation avoided a traffic issue in an urban.
- Water transportation conveyed overweight stuffs from one place to the other places.

Although water transportation might slower than the other ways but I thought this way would transfer a stuffs or products with safely.

The clip below was “The Golden Waterway” and it was the major river in China.

Roads and Highways in China



In the past, the transportation of China was not so comfortable. Until 1990 the Chinese government invested in highway system that had the main highway was the National Trunk Highway System. The National Trunk Highway System consisted of building expressways to link all the major cities with each other. This system was very significant element of the transportation network in China. It was a new system of highway called the“7918 Highway Network” that designed by connecting all capital cities and large urban centers together. Chinese government thought the 7918 Highway Network would help the people from an urban can access an expressway within half an hour.



In my opinion, it was difficult to people who lived in rural areas for coming or transported something to basic roads in China. The geography of their country posed an obstacle for them. However, I thought the Chinese government should focus on this issue and try to solve it immediately.

Tsinghua University


Tsinghua University (清华大学 or Qīnghuá Dàxué) was located in Haidian, northwestern of Beijing. Tsinghua was the one of famous university in China, it was an important center for studying in university level and science’s research. This university was focus on Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences and teaching Chenese language for foreigners and it also had an exchange students with the other universities in abroad such as the United States, Japan, Korea etc.

International Students

Tsinghua University was participated between the other countries for exchange program. First time that Tsinghua university obtained an foreign students which came from Europe was on December 1950, there are 15 students that participated with this program. Now,Tsinghua university had 35 courses for bachelor degree, 84 courses for master degree and 64 courses for doctoral degree. Study plan for a foreign students would included 220 important courses that applied with English. The international students of Tsinghua University might got a Chinese Government Scholarship (CGS), Beijing Government Scholarship (BGS) or Tsinghua University Scholarship (TUS). It was a scholarship that included an accommodation,meals and medical insurance etc.

In my opinion, it was a good way if Thai university would exchanged students with Tsinghua university because I thought this university had a good study plan and good location for study. However, i hope that one day Thai students could had an opportunity to go there.

Education in China


In china, an education was separate to three kinds are Higher education, Adult education and Compulsory education. The law of China; all children have to get an education at least nine years.
Compulsory Education
It includes to Kindergarten Education Elementary and Secondary Education. All children will spend three years in kindergarten life until six years old. After that, they will get into Elementary education until they were in Junior high school. It is the end of Compulsory education. In one year, there are two parts of education. For some children that want to study more, they have to test for get to the High school education or to the Vocational education.

Engineering And science) in master's degree and 2-3 years in the three years degree. Higher education in China has many parts in each faculty. Whether the study has no certificate or mixing of education degree and graduate diploma together.
Adult Education
It is a part of formal education that you can get more knowledge than Basic education and Higher education.

Ping Pong (乒乓球)



There is one more kind of indoor sport that is table tennis. I think that everyone knows what is it but few of people will know all of it. In this case, I am going to tell you about an indoor sport like table tennis in China.

Ping Pang Qiu is the official name for the sport of table tennis in China. We often see a competition of table tennis in any variety on TV show and Olympic. I think there were a lot of table tennis players that have a good ability because when I saw Olympic Games, I often see a player from China play with an interesting act. It is a main point of them, because their acting can show us about how was his/her can win the games. I always see childhood and youth from China who participates in any competition. Although they will not win in every time but they can sustain excellences in table tennis playing until now.

The clip below would show you "Top 10 Ping Pong Shots of All Time"

I am Houston Rockets.


When I talk about sports. I know you would have some kind of sports in your mind such as badminton, football or one more sport that is basketball. In China, basketball becomes a main sport which people so proud because they have a good basketball team in their country.
There are many reasons that make basketball becomes popular in China, I think the most important thing is China has a strong basketball team. And all of them have a good potential for practice their basketball skills.


I am the one that when somebody says about basketball, I will think about Yao Ming(Yáo Míng or 姚明). Yao Ming is a person who plays for the Houston Rockets of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He is the tallest player in the NBA, at 2.29 m. He had participated in many basketball competitions and he won all of it.


In my opinion, I think the basketball team of China can not success witout Yao Ming. Because he has a special ability in basketball playing, and he was born to be the tallest player in Asia. In the clip below, you will see "Yao Ming Top Ten Plays" in different act.
