Compare Russia's interaction with... 1450-1750?

Ottoman Empire, China, Eastern Europe, Western Europe

When Russian troops took over Vietnam in the early 1400's it forced the Chinese to have to negotiate with the Russians and their Western European allies for fair trade. Because the main trading routes went from Northern France to Austrailia, the eastern European countries mainly Finland signed a peace treaty with the Russians in 1610 called the Finlandnese Peace, this effectively ended all wars involving Russia and any European country until the start of World War I in 1930.

China Tours - on a Guilin Tour

Located in the northeast corner of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Guilin is hailed by many as the most picturesque city in China. The city has been a famous destination for over centuries and is world renowned for its breathtaking landscape.

Any trip to China is not complete without a visit to picturesque Guilin. The serene landscape, Karst lime stones formations, bamboo groves and mist-covered hills together with wonderful caves make Guilin such an attraction for tourists.

The name of the city is derived from the cassia tree called 'Guihuashu' in Chinese. One can see the green cassia trees standing at the most roadsides in the town. When the autumn comes, the fragrance of the blossom fills up the air making passengers refreshing and relaxed. In addition, the golden flowers are very pleasing to the eyes.

Li River is definitely the gem of Guilin. The amazing landscapes of Li River make you feel as though you have stepped into a living traditional Chinese painting. Along the Li River, visitors are inspired by the picturesque mountains, peaceful green fields, crystal-clear water, lush bamboos and villages with water buffaloes. Guilin also is the home to more than ten ethnic groups, such as Han, Zhuang, Miao, Yao, Hui and Dong. The Longji Rice Terraces is the best place to get a face to face touch with ethnic people and their customs.

The Reed Flute Cave, called as "Art Palace of the Nature", is full with a myriad of stalactites and stalagmites formulating various bizarre scenes. The Elephant Trunk Hill, symbol of Guilin, looks like a giant elephant with a long trunk drinking along the Li River.

Shopper's paradise: A wide array of beautifully local arts and crafts fills the street markets and luxurious stores around the city, including: landscape paintings, pottery, porcelain, wood and bamboo sculptures, hand-painted folding screens and embroidered balls, etc.

Hopping nightlife: At night Guilin is especially lovely when the lights are lit. The night life in Guilin has a unique glamour. The Two Rivers and Four Lakes Scenic Area is one of the favorite places to stroll in the evening for visitors and residents alike. The two rivers refer to Li River and the Peach Blossom River. The four lakes refer to Mulong Lake, Gui Lake, Rong Lake and Shan Lake. There are cruises available at night. The evening experience in Guilin just brings anyone fun and possibly a little surprise!

Aynsley Pottery

admin — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 14:12:14 +0000

Aynsley have been manufacturing pottery in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent since 1775. The business was started by John Aynsley I who began by making drinking mugs decorated with political and sporting events of the time. Along with a number of other potters, John Aynsley was part owner of the Fenton Park Colliery Company which, along with other mines in the Potteries, provided the coal needed for kiln firing.

When John Aynsley I died in 1829 the business was taken over by John Aynsley II who built the Portland Works for bone china manufacture in 1861. The production of bone china led to the company becoming known for breakfast, tea and dessert wares. John Aynsley II was a community-spirited man who was mayor of Longton between 1886 and 1890, set up Queens Park (the first public park in the area) and contributed to a number of charities.

Aynsley continues production today with a mixture of traditional and modern designs. The 'Orchard Gold' pattern, which was created in the 1920s, is still in production. Aynsley products are now exported to more than 80 countries worldwide.
