What's on in Shanghai

Dining Out: Manchurian food
Saturday, March 25, 12:30-2pm 

Dongbei (Northeast China or Manchurian ) is well known for the fertile land, humorous and straightforward people and generous home-style food. The Manchurian food is very popular now in China with its home-made flavor, big size plate, more simmered and stewed (rather than the oily stir-fried) meat and vegetables. It is also known for some special local products and snack .

CCC will explain the feature of Manchurian food, main menu, recipe and ingredients. A variety of special products and dishes will be sampled.

Trip to Pingyao -- raise the red lanterns

Pingyao in Shanxi Province is a significant Ming Dynasty walled city,  with one of the few walls in China remaining intact and now a UNESCO World Heritage site. The city has a 2700 year history. It was the center of  Chinas modern Banking system from 1825, however with the collapse of the Qing Dynasty the banking and finances were transferred to Shanghai and Hong Kong which turned the city into a backwater, saving it from development and preserving its character.
