    Never heard of LiaoCheng before. On the map the nearest city is Jinan to the East, famous for its natural springs. Jinan plays a central role in the popular Qing dynasty "Travelogue of Old Ch'an." The architecture in that guild hall is special, quite well preserved. Wonder if it was under protection during the cultural revolution. (4:26) (4:48) (4:52) The sculptures in this hall are unlike anything typically found in Chinese temple halls. They are fine pieces of art, rather modern, and could be the work of graduates from famous art schools. They blend well with the brick hall. This city is worth a visit.

      Yeh, not too far from Jinan. It's worth a visit for the Guild Hall. The old town is nice and tranquil by the water, but not too much too see there

    There is another iron pagoda in Zhenjiang city (Zhenjiang Beigu Mountain iron pagoda, built in Song Dynasty). Zhenjiang city is also along the Grand Canal.

    Richard Clyderman and Kenny G came in China early, when there wasn't much competition in their domain. The huge fan base has a long tail effect.

    • @nickinchina2552
      @nickinchina2552  5 місяців тому +1

      For real. Kenny G is China shopping mall music, if he gets royalties for every time 'Going Home' is played he must be doing very well indeed 😂😂

      ​@@nickinchina2552 I used to travel with old trains. When you hear 'Going Home' in the coach, it means he distination has arrived.

    in the late 1980s and early 90s, Richard Clyderman was the most popular western musician in China or perhaps East Asia, it was on the radio all the time and everyone owned copies of his cassettes. He was bigger than the Beatles.

    • @nickinchina2552
      @nickinchina2552  5 місяців тому

      He is still hugely popular and tours China. He played in Xi'an not that long ago

      It's a nice day trip, but don't expect too much from the old town. The walk around the walls is very nice though!

    Liaocheng, 'ay? Man - I haven't been out there in ages. Nice one... I'm guessing there probably aren't too many Liaocheng vids on UA-cam! That Guild Hall was awesome though!

    • @nickinchina2552

    What a serene place--except for the firecrackers and honking. This is the first time I've learned about guild hall. Thank you for another informative video.
    Yes! Kenny G and Richard Clayderman were very popular in China, in the late 80s and 90s. hahahaha. How long have you been in China?

    • @nickinchina2552
      @nickinchina2552  5 місяців тому

      A long time, over a decade. Glad you liked the video (and the Kenny G talk haha)

    Very happy to have new videos to watch. I was slowly able to appreciate the beauty of ancient Chinese wooden architecture, which was not easy to feel before. Living in the concrete forest of the city, high-rise buildings with various glass curtain walls, and modern-style cities are a bit samey, but some small towns with a long history that retain their own characteristics do give people a refreshing feeling. Maybe I need to rediscover it, thanks Nick for the introduction and wish you all the best.

    • @nickinchina2552

      The goal is a new video every Wednesday and Sunday...for the next few weeks at least. Very happy you enjoying the history!
