Innovations for a Changing and Challenging World

Abstract

We live in a rapidly changing world and in an era of increasing challenges on our societies, in the

form of an ageing population, climate change and a growing need to find ways to combat pollution

while allowing for sustainable development. Innovation, when it is successful, combines technological

advancement and know-how with concrete societal needs and consumer demands for new products,

services and processes. The presentation provides an insight into how innovation can effectively be

used as an instrument for developing solutions to global challenges. I provide insights from our work in

Sweden designing policies and programs for promoting challenge-driven innovation.

Developing Sustainable Urban Infrastructure to Solve Gigaton Problems

Abstract

Gigaton problems refer to those most severe problems challenging humanity, which can often be

measured at the “gigaton (billion tons)” scale. For example, the annual world energy consumption

is around 12 billion tons of oil equivalent (Gtoe), 80% of that from nonrenewable fossil fuels. The

combustion of these fossil fuels emits approximately 29 billion tons (Gton) of CO2. In addition, the world

uses more than 14 Gton of materials each year, only about 5% of which are renewable. These gigaton

problems call for solutions which can meet the gigaton scale, or gigaton solutions.

In response to the urgent need of solving the gigaton problems, the urban system plays a critical

role as the primary sink of resources and source of wastes. In particular, urban centers are complex,

adaptive systems that act like organisms: They process resources (water, energy, and materials) and

information, create infrastructure and services, and produce wastes. Worldwide, urban centers

dominate resource consumption as well as waste and pollution generation. By examining the complex

interactions among social decision making, economic drivers, (re)development, sustainability metrics, and

surface transportation, a simulation-based decision support tool and strategies are developed to allow

stakeholders to design and choose infrastructure solutions that consume fewer resources and generate

less waste. Case studies are presented for Atlanta, GA as an example to illustrate the ability of this tool

to support the decision-making in constructing more sustainable cities.

ICT Technology Innovations Revolutionizing Human Society

Abstract

The global megatrend can be summarized into three different aspects, which are demographic shift,

resource scarcity and climate change, and finally accelerating urbanization. The ICT technology is fast

evolving in order to address issues that have arisen from the global megatrend. In this regard, we can

envision the future society to be smarter, healthier and greener as ICT technology continues to be

developed. Thus far, the remarkable evolution of ICT devices was enabled by the fast advancing silicon

technology.

The performances of devices such as CPU and memory as well as network speeds have improved

tremendously over the past 20 years. CPU performance improved 2400 times during this period, which

is approximately equivalent to the performance of the human brain that is running at 4.5% capacity

at around 1/83 real-time speed. CMOS technology innovation will enable exa-scale (1018) computing

which is potentially up to human-scale and real-time processing.

On the other hand DRAM (main memory) and NAND Flash (data storage) improved their performance

by a factor of 1000 and 32000, respectively. Silicon scaling technology, which is expected to reach

sub-10nm, will enable a cost effective ultra high density memories to satisfy future data storage

requirements.

Mobile network, which has been getting faster by a factor of 840 over the past 20 years, will open an

era of the internet of things where everything could potentially have a digital identity and be connected

to the internet and to each other, such that computers would be able to organize and manage them. The

internet of things would add value to existing applications as well as create new opportunities that could

revolutionize industries: for instance “smart” objects that use sensors to understand the environment

around them and data collection for things that have never been digitized before, from one’s morning

jogging to the hundreds of machines on a manufacturing facility. All these connected objects and devices

will generate exorbitant amount of data (traditional IT data as well as medical/health, bio informatics,

environment etc.), which need to be analyzed in order to produce meaningful data. Therefore, Big Data

analytics will also be an important technology in the future.

Display technology in the future will be more realistic and immersive as well as more intelligent as it has

started to become interactive. There are many technological challenges that need to be overcome in

order to realize a smarter future.

In addition to having an impact on the ICT industry, IT technology is bringing innovation to areas such

as bio/health and energy/environmental fields: extremely compact/efficient medical imaging devices and

energy efficient low cost lighting among others are a few examples. Technologies of the future that will

revolutionize the future and society will be discussed in more detail.

Furthermore, advances in nanotechnology when combined with the ICT technology will be providing

a boost that will accelerate the technological evolution. Some examples of nano + ICT technology are:

09

graphene/CNT based devices, quantum dot displays etc. This fusion of fields will create vast opportunities

for technological advancements and open up a new era for the society.

The Grand Challenges for Engineering

Abstract

A diverse committee of eighteen experts from around the world, some of the most accomplished

engineers and scientists of their generation, proposed fourteen challenges for engineering for the 21st

Century that were published in 2008 by the U.S. National Academies Press. The panel, which was

convened by the National Academy of Engineering, did not rank the importance of each challenge

nor did it offer guidance to meeting them. The panel chose challenges that it concluded were both

achievable and sustainable to help humanity and the planet to thrive. The panel’s recommendations

were reviewed by subject-matter experts and input was received from prominent engineers, scientists

and the general public prior to publication.

The fourteen challenges, in no particular order, are: Make solar energy economical; Provide energy from

fusion; Develop carbon sequestration methods; Manage the nitrogen cycle; Provide access to clean

water; Restore and improve urban infrastructure; Advance health informatics; Engineer better medicines;

Reverse-engineer the brain; Prevent nuclear terror; Secure cyberspace; Enhance virtual reality; Advance

personalized learning; Engineer the tools of scientific discovery.

This lecture will discuss the grand challenges and the process of their development as outlined above.

But the greater focus will be on the broad impact on engineering of these grand challenges. While they

were created without an initial distribution plan, their uptake within engineering has been remarkable.

10

The wisdom underpinning the challenges provided a welcomed focus that the engineering community

was probably seeking unknowingly. The grand challenges became an immediate attractor of attention

of engineers and engineering programs, a focus for modification of existing programs of study and

scholarship, a vision of engineering engagement between national academies and universities on a

global scale, and guidance for educational programs reaching down into primary and secondary schools.

The grand challenge solutions extend beyond engineering and science to public interests, humanistic and

social values, collaborations between cultures and the future of the planet. No other engineering vision

has ever engaged the greater engineering community so broadly and deeply.

The essence of engineering is “creating solutions to problems of humanity and society.” The strong

uptake of the grand challenges may be because they laid out some the long-term, largest scale and most

impacting problems for all of humanity and society in this century.

Engineering the Future: Universities and Education

Abstract

For centuries engineering has provided immense benefits to society and is now poised to address some

of the greatest challenges that the future holds.

Academies and professional institutions around the world have a shared vision for the experience, skills

and attributes that engineers will require in an increasingly globalised world. These include, in addition

to a deep understanding of engineering disciplines, an appreciation of entrepreneurship, innovation, and

global business.

The presentation will highlight examples of where engineering solutions will be required by both the

public and private sectors, and by grand challenges which are often of global significance.

Engineering operates in a ‘continuum’ ranging from basic scientific discovery through to market-ready

engineered solutions. At its best an engineering education offers opportunities for industrial experience

and takes place in an environment where discovery, science, and engineering are co-located. The future

11

challenge for universities is to go beyond this world to produce an environment where entrepreneurship,

innovation, management and global business are embedded in the engineering education continuum.

Imperial College London, like many universities, is beginning to build an environment for the future

engineer. Imperial West is the College’s major new campus in west London, co-locating world class

researchers, businesses and higher education partners to create value from ideas, for the benefit of

society on a local, national and global scale. The new site will provide at scale multidisciplinary research

and education space for Imperial scientists and engineers to tackle some of the global challenges faced

today, together with state-of-the-art space for translating research ideas into direct applications and spin-

out companies.

Building Tomorrow’s Industries - Supporting and commercialising strategic emerging

technologies: a UK perspective

Abstract

The UK, like many other countries, is investing strongly in strategic emerging technologies- but there is

little consensus on the measures which will be needed to commercialise these technologies and build

12

a new industrial base in these areas. This presentation will identify the five issues which are vital for an

industrial strategy, and assess how these issues can be addressed in relation to emerging industries. It

will examine the portfolio of measures being taken in the UK to commercialise emerging technologies–

including investment in 8 Great Technologies, Catapult technology transfer centres, and sector-specific

industrial strategies. It will finally investigate the role a national academy of engineering can play in

supporting the commercialisation of emerging technologies, with a focus on the Royal Academy of

Engineering’s activities promoting sectoral policy strategies, building the UK’s skills base, and promoting

innovation and entrepreneurship among researchers.

Science & Technology of Advanced Sodium Cooled Fast Spectrum Reactors in Context

of Energy Sustainability in 21st Century

Abstract

Energy Technology Perspective 2012, by International Energy Association, anticipates twice the electricity

production of ( 20,000 TWh to 40,000 TWh) from 2010-2050. Author explores Paradigm changes and

13

ways to overcome challenges as we make transition to low carbon energy societies.

Essentialities of energy mix and impact of decisions on energy sustainability and climate change are

highlighted. The transitions to low carbon energy economies take different pathways in poor, emerging

and developed countries. The reasons being varied priorities, levels of technology, existing infrastructure

and energy mix, resources and commitments. Thus the policies are key to the transformation and

transition management. Design, engineering & technology, materials, sensors, simulation and modeling,

manufacturing etc are some of the key inter disciplinary domains to realize transition in an economical

and realistic manner.

Young person’s must co-operate in a cohesive and inspired manner to undertake basic or directed

applications. The selection of a direction may depend on interest, capability, mandates and pursuits

of the group, funding, entrepreneurship and not the last; passion and commitment to the society.

Innovation ecosystems need to be nurtured and grown with more and more involvement of young

persons and gendre synergy.

The paper shall discuss , in brief challenges and opportunities, break through realizations in energy

technologies in a spectrum covering coal, solar, wind and nuclear. A few illustrations of energy efficiency

with thermo electric materials, products, nanofluids, etc are given as examples for the purpose of

comprehension.

The talk puts emphasis on design, materials and manufacturing of advanced nuclear energy systems.

Multifold increase in challenges of nuclear energy technologies are described as we progress from water

to fast spectrum and fusion reactors. The author, from his experience, elucidates fascinating insights of

serendipity, discoveries and solutions for meeting these challenges. Benchmark successes, in the global

context, are narrated.

Science based technologies, so developed are being used as building blocks of Advanced Ultra

Supercritical Thermal plants and Fusion Reactors.

Guardian Angel Technologies: Providing Right Information to the Right People

Abstract

In the increasingly digital world of the 21st century, every person on the planet should be able to get

timely warning about unforeseen events in life such as Typhoons and Tornados. In this talk, we propose

the creation of Guardian Angel Technologies for providing right information to the right people that can

eliminate surprise and reduce human suffering and misery. Twenty years ago, my colleague, Professor

Jaime Carbonell, proposed a grand challenge for Computer Science that society should aspire to get the

right information to the right people at the right time in the right language in the right medium with the

right level of detail. He called it the Digital Bill of Rights. The concept of getting the right information

to every man, women and child on the planet is a big idea. It assumes that all seven billion of us on

the planet should be able to get only the information of direct interest, filtering out all the rest of data

glut. In this talk, we will review the state of the art, discuss the missing science, and propose a research

agenda to create The Guardian Angel Technology, to accomplish the vision of Digital Bill of Rights on a

in Physics at Scuola Normale of Pisa. In 1959 he obtained his PhD from

Columbia University (USA). Since 1961 he has been working at CERN

(European Organization for Nuclear Research) in Geneva, becoming its

Director General from 1989 to 1994. In 1984 he was awarded the Nobel

Prize for Physics for the discovery of the intermediate vector bosons

together with Simon van der Meer. From 1972 to 1989 Carlo Rubbia

has held the Higgins Professorship of Physics at Harvard University. He

was the President of the Synchrotron Light Radiation Source in Trieste

(1986 -1994 one of the first third-generation sources in the world, like

Berkeley and Grenoble. During the 1990s Rubbia proposed the concept

of an energy amplifier (ADS) – a novel and safe way of producing practically unlimited nuclear energy

exploiting present-day accelerator technologies from natural thorium and depleted uranium. The energy

resources potentially deriving from this technology, which is actively being studied worldwide, will be

practically unlimited and non-proliferating. During his term as President of ENEA, the Italian National

Agency for New Technologies, Energy and the Environment (1999-2005), he developed a novel method

for concentrating solar power at high temperatures for energy production, known as the Archimedes

Project, which is presently being developed by industry for commercial use. Since June 2010 he is the

Scientific Director of the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS) in Potsdam. Member of

numerous scientific academies, Carlo Rubbia holds 33 honorary degrees.

The Future of Energy

Abstract

The state of the art of the energy development in Europe and worldwide will be discussed, with specific

consideration on the need of stability of the climate and the existence and limits of an Anthropogenic

Era. The potentialities of curbing unwanted emissions with special consideration on innovative roles of

fossils and the realistic future roles of renewable energies will be addressed.

Several innovative methods to curb emissions from fossils will be described and in particular 1) very

high power and very long distance Superconducting electricity transmission; 2) vast and unconventional

Natural Gas sources like Shales and Clathrates; 3) Natural Gas burning without any CO2 emission; and

4) the use of Methanol as a liquid fuel for transportation combining hydrogenic fossils or eventually solar

hydrogen with already “spent” and recovered CO2 accumulation.

John Robin Warren Dr. Warren was born in 1937, in Adelaide, South Australia. He

graduated M.B., B.S. from the University of Adelaide in 1961. After

training at the Royal Melbourne Hospital, he was admitted to the Royal

College of Pathologists of Australasia in 1967. Since then, he was a

senior consultant pathologist at the Royal Perth Hospital in Western

Australia, becoming emeritus consultant pathologist in 1998.

In 1979, Dr. Warren first observed the presence of small curved bacteria,

resembling Campylobacter, on a biopsy of the gastric mucosa. During

the next two years, Dr Warren found many more examples of the

bacteria on gastric biopsies, always on gastric-type epithelium and closely

linked to a specific variety of gastritis. He submitted this work as a thesis

to the AdelaideUniversity in 2000 and was granted an M.D.

In 1981, Dr. Warren met Dr. Barry Marshall, registrar in the gastroenterology department. A fruitful

partnership followed that demonstrated the clinical significance of the bacteria. They cultured the

organisms and identified a new species, now called Helicobacter pylori. A clear association was found

between H. pylori and peptic ulcers. Healed ulcers remained healed, without further medication after

eradicating the bacteria.

Dr. Warren was the guest of honour at the Sixth International Workshop Campylobacter, Helicobacter

and related organisms, in 1991 and he was guest speaker at the centenary meeting of the German

Society of Pathology, May 1997. He received: the Distinguished Fellows Award of the Royal College

of Pathologists of Australasia in 1995; the Inaugural Award of The First Western Pacific Helicobacter

Congress, February 1996; the medal of the University of Hiroshima, September 1996; the University

of Adelaide Alumni Association, Distinguished Alumni Award, October 1996; the degree of Doctor

of Medicine, honoriscausa, by the University of Western Australia, September 1997; the medal of

the University “La Sapienza” of Rome, 2005; the degree of Doctor of the University of Adelaide,

honoriscausa, 2006; Honorary fellowship of the Royal Australian College of Physicians, 2006; the gold

medal of the Australian Medical Association, 2006; and was elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy

16

of Science, 2006. Jointly with Dr. Marshall he received: the Warren Alpert Foundation prize at the

Harvard University in 1994; the Australian Medical Association (WA) award, 1995; the Paul Ehrlich and

Ludwig Darmstaedter Award, Paul Ehrlich Foundation, JohannWolfgang Goethe-Universität, Frankfurt

am Main, Germany, in March 1997; the Faulding Florey medal, Adelaide (SA), September 1998; included

in the Cavalcade of Australian Scientists of the 20th Century (Australian Institute of Political Science,

2000); and was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine, 2005.

Discovering Helicobacter

Abstract

Before the 1970’s, well fixed specimens of gastric mucosa were rare. Then the introduction of flexible

endoscope enabled gastroenterologists to take numerous well-fixed small biopsies from the stomach.

Gastric histology and pathology were clearly demonstrated. In 1972, Whitehead accurately described

‘active’ gastritis involving only the superficial gastric epithelium, with polymorph infiltration and epithelial

cell distortion. In 1979 I was examining a gastric biopsy showing chronic inflammation and the active

change. A thin blue line on the surface showed numerous small curved bacilli, clearly visible with a

Warthin Starry silver stain. They appeared to grow on the surface of the foveolar epithelial cells. Over

the next two years I collected numerous similar cases. The changes were often much milder or more

focal than the original biopsy, but the main features were usually similar, with chronic gastritis and

usually some of the active change, showing considerable variation, from near normal to severe. In 1981

Barry Marshal and I completed a clinico-pathological study of 100 outpatients referred for gastroscopy.

There was little relation between the infection and the patients’ symptoms. Peptic ulcers, particularly

duodenal ulcers, were very closely related to the infection. We cultured Helicobacter pylori. In 1986,

with Marshall et al, I studied the effect of eradication of H pylori on the recurrence of duodenal ulcer. I

graded the gastritis (0 – 36) using the features seen with active gastritis. The range was 15 – 35 before

treatment. After eradication of H pylori, this changed to 5 – 20 within 2 weeks. This provides powerful

evidence that H pylori causes the active change. Duodenal ulcer usually occurs in the duodenal cap.

Gastric mucosa normally extends through the pylorus. The proximal border of all ulcers was either

definite gastric mucosa, or scarred and consistent with a gastric origin. This suggests duodenal ulcer is

either actually a distal pyloric ulcer or gastro-duodenal. It may well arise in the damaged, inflamed and

infected mucosa in the position of maximum stress – the lip of the pyloric sphincter.

Longping YuanProf. Longping Yuan, “Father of Hybrid Rice”, invented hybrid rice

technology in 1970s. Hybrid rice covers 57% of total rice area in China

and yields more than 20% over improved inbred varieties. Grain yield

increased by planting hybrid rice can feed 70 million more people a year,

thus help China solve food shortage problem successfully. Recently, he

has achieved developing super high yield hybrid rice which can yield

about 14.9 tons per ha on large scale. Prof. Yuan has not only made this

new technology to benefit China, but also has enthusiastically extended

hybrid rice technology to other countries, and the yield advantage is

15-40% higher than local varieties. Hybrid rice is now grown on a land

of 17 million hectares in China and 5.2 million hectares (2012) outside

China. Since 1980, he has trained more than 3000 of scientists and researchers from over 60 countries

and has served as a chief consultant to the FAO. Yuan’s excellent work on hybrid rice has benefited and

will continue to benefit more people in the world.

Prof. Yuan is now the Director-General of China National Hybrid Rice R&D Center. He was elected

member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering in 1995, and foreign associate of the National Academy

of Sciences of U.S. in 2007. He was granted the State Supreme S&T Award of China in 2000.

Development of Hybrid Rice for Food Security in the World

Abstract

The current world population is 7 billion and will reach 8 billion in 2030. Meanwhile, the annual loss of

land to other use is 10 t0 35 million ha, with half of this lost land coming from cropland. It is expected

that 60% more rice should be produced in 2030 than in 1995. Currently, 1 ha for rice production

provides food for 27 people. By 2050, 1 ha will have to support 43 people. Facing such severe situation

of population growth pressure plus cropland reduction, it is obvious that the only way to solve food

shortage problem is to greatly enhance the yield level of food crops per unit land area through the

advance of science and technology.

Rice is a main food crop. It feeds more than half of the world's population. Therefore, rice plays a very

important role in food security and poverty alleviation. Theoretically, rice still has a great yield potential

to be tapped and there are many ways to raise rice yield. This could be achieved by: building irrigation

works; application of more fertilizer; improving soil conditions; cultural techniques and breeding of high

yielding varieties. Among them, it seems at present that the most effective and economic alternative is to

develop hybrid varieties based on the successful experience in China.

It has been proven practically for many years that hybrid rice has achieved more than 20% yield

advantage over improved inbred varieties. In recent years, hybrid rice coverd 58% or 17 million ha of the

total rice area in China. The nationwide average yield of hybrid rice is 7.5 t/ha, about l.4 t/ha higher than

that of inbred varieties (6.1 t/ha). The yearly increase of grains in China due to the growing of hybrid rice

can feed 70 million people annually. Therefore, hybrid rice has been playing a critical role in solving the

food problem in China, thus making China the largest food self-sufficient country.

China makes increasing progress in the development of hybrid rice technology. In order to meet food

18

requirement for all Chinese people in the 21st century, a super rice breeding programme was set up by

the China Ministry of Agriculture in 1996. It is divided into three phases, and the yield targets are:

Phase I (1996-2000) 10.5t/ha

Phase II (2001-2005) 12t/ha

Phase III (2006-2015) 13.5t/ha

(Average yield at two locations with 6.7 ha each in two consecutive year)

Through morphological improvements plus the use of inter-subspecific (Indica/Japonica) heterosis, very

good results were achieved in developing super hybrid rice varieties.

Several pioneer super hybrids were developed by 2000 which met the Phase I yield standard and released

for commercial production since 2001. In recent years the area under these pioneer super hybrids is

around 1 million ha and the average yield is about 8.3 t/ha.

The breeding of Phase II super hybrids was successfully attained in 2004. The planting area of these

hybrids was near 1 million ha in 2013 and the average yield was 9 t/ha.

Excitingly, a super hybrid variety-Y Liangyou No. 2, yielded 13.9 t/ha on average in a 7.2 ha

demonstration location last year. It meant that the goal of phase III super rice breeding programme was

attained.

Based on the above progress, the phase IV super hybrid rice breeding program has been started. The

yield target is 15t/ha. Last year a new super hybrid rice variety (Y58S/900) yielded 14.82t/ha at a 6.8ha

demonstration location. So it is expected the phase IV yield tardet can be achieved by 2015.

The above facts indicate that the super hybrid rice has a very bright future. If super hybrid rice covers an

annual area of 10 million ha in China and with an yield increase of 2 t/ha, it is expected that the annual

increase grains will reach 20 million tons. This means another 70 million more people can be fed every

year.

Hybrid rice has been proven to be a very effective approach to greatly increase yield not only in China,

but also outside China. Vietnam and India have commercialized hybrid rice for years. In recent years,

about 600 000 ha were covered with rice hybrids in Vietnam. On average, the yield of rice hybrids is 6.3

t/ha while that of the inbred varieties is 4.5 t/ha. As a consequence of planting hybrid rice on large-scale

commercial production for years, Vietnam emerged as the second largest rice exporting country. Besides,

many other countries, such as the Philippines, Bangladesh, Indonesia and USA, have also achieved great

success in extending hybrid rice technology. For example, in the Philippines, under technical assistance

from the China National Hybrid Rice R&D Centre, hybrid rice was commercialized since 2002. In 2010,

the area under rice hybrids was increased to nearly 200 000 ha and the yield advantage was two tons

per ha. Based on this achievement, the Philippines government has lauched an ambitious plan. The

target is to expand the area of hybrid rice to one million ha. Even in USA, the super power country,

hybrid rice also has greater yield advantage (>20%) over their local varieties. The area under hybrid rice

was 440 000 ha in 2012.

19

These facts clearly show that hybrid rice technology developed by China is also effective to greatly

increase rice yields worldwide. If 50% of the conventional rice is replaced by hybrid rice, and estimating

on a 2 t/ha yield advantage of hybrid rice, it is estimated that the total rice production in the world will

be increased by another 150 million tons of rice which can feed 400 million people each year.

Therefore, I firmly believe that hybrid rice, relying on scientific and technological advances, and the

efforts from all other aspects, including governments, private sectors, NGOs and particularly from FAO

and IRRI, will have a very good prospect for commercial production, and moreover continue to play a key

role in ensuring the future worldwide food security in the 21th century.

Since the founding of the new China especially the reform and opening up, the country has achieved

rapid development of engineering technology and made great achievements in this field, which provides

important support for national security, economic development, social progress and improvement of

people’s livelihood. Engineering technology has become the main driving force of China’s economic and

social development. At present, China has come to a new stage of development and is in urgent need

of transformation of economic development pattern. For that, the foundation is technology, and the

key is capability of independent innovation. A new round of industrial revolution which is intensifying

worldwide is historically in tune with China’s transformation of economic development pattern, which

brings huge challenges and great opportunities to China. In future, China will stick to the new path of

industrialization with Chinese characteristics and implement innovation-driven development strategies to

achieve modernization of real economy and realize the Chinese dream.

The CityBeijing, as the capital of China, is the nation's political and cultural center and is unique in its history,

tradition and character. Some 3000 years ago, a small village was born at the southwest of the modern

Beijing. From the 12th Century to 1911, it was the capital city for the Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing

Dynasties. Beijing is ever reshaping throughout centuries a thoroughly modern metropolis, covering an

area of 16,800 square kilometers and encompassing a population of 22 million. You will find the city

an unforgettable destination, with its ancient Great Wall, the Forbidden City and numerous palaces and

temples as a reminder of dynasties lost in the mists of time. Moreover, the city has refreshed its character

by a growing number of parks, recreational centers, folk shows during holiday celebrations, splendid

theaters, and a grand city outlook.

WeatherEarly June in Beijing is sunny and a bit hot. The average daily temperature is about 23°C / 73.4°F, with

The Summer Palace in the northwestern suburb was built in

1750. By far the best-preserved imperial garden in China, it was

endorsed by the UNESCO in 1998 as a world cultural heritage

site. As a paragon of Chinese gardens, this huge garden includes

Longevity Hill, whose beauty is set off by a multitude of halls,

kiosks and trees, and Kunming Lake, a huge body of liquid silver.

Major tourist attractions are Tower of Buddhist Incense, 17-Span

Bridge, Long Corridor, Cloud Dispelling Hall, Marble Boat,

Beamless Hall, Garden of Harmonious Delights, the theatre in the

Garden of Moral Harmony, and Suzhou Street. The entire place is a de facto museum of China's classical

architecture. Housed in these buildings are an immense collection of treasures and cultural artifacts.

The 720,000-square-metre Palace Museum, better known as

"Forbidden City", was the imperial palace for the Ming and Qing.

Built during the 1406-1420 period, it is the largest royal palatial

complex in existence in China; ranging from the majestic to the

exquisite, they bear witness to a nation in transition. Other tourist

attractions on the premises include a huge stone ramp carved

with intricate dragon and cloud patterns, Imperial Garden and

Nine-Dragon Screen Wall. An immense trove of cultural artifacts

and treasures of various dynasties, some of them on display in the

Treasure Hall and the ceramics, painting, bronze ware galleries, are reason enough for UNESCO to adopt

the Former Imperial Palace as a world cultural heritage site.

China's largest temple and altar are found in Temple of Heaven.

Built in 1420, it was where Ming and Qing monarchs worshiped

the god of heaven and prayed for good harvests. Major structures

are hall of Prayer for good Harvest, Imperial Vault of Heaven,

Circular Altar, and Abstinence Palace. The temple is divided by

two enclosed walls into inner altar and outer altar. To better

symbolize heaven and earth, the northern part of the temple is

circular while the southern part is square, which reflect the

ancient Chinese belief that Heaven is round and Earth is square.

The Temple of Heaven is a cultural museum of offering sacrifices to Heaven, which merges architecture,

aesthetics, acoustics, astronomy, calendar, music and dancing into an integral whole. UNESCO endorsed

Temple of Heaven as a world cultural heritage site in December 1998.

Terra-Cotta Warriors and Horses Museum. The Terra-Cotta

Warriors and Horses are the most significant archeological

excavations of the 20th century. These 7000 life-sized pottery

soldiers, horses, chariots and weapons arranged in battle

formations served as a terra-cotta army guarding the tomb of the

first emperor of Qinshihuang (259-210 B.C.).

The Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the symbol of the city, was built

in the Tang Dynasty (652 A.D.) to house the 657 volumes of

Buddhist scriptures brought back from India by the monk Xuan

Zang.

The Ancient City Wall, built during the Tang Dynasty, is the

most complete city wall to survive in China, and one of the largest

ancient military defence systems in the world.

The Shaanxi Provincial History Museum is one of the best

museums in China. 370,000 exhibits in the museum vividly

show the history of over a million years from prehistoric times

(1,150,000 years ago - 21st Century B.C.) to about 1840 A.D.
