Trend reversal in local transport The train discovers the surface

Status: 06/22/2021 6:53 p.m.

Deutsche Bahn reactivates 20 disused routes and expands again into the area. The goal: Local transport should also become more attractive for people in rural areas.

Of Ulrich Crüwell, rbb

Despite all – partly justified – criticism of Deutsche Bahn AG: No other means of transport is under the same economic pressure as rail transport. “The rail is the only transport infrastructure that is shrinking. It is the only transport infrastructure that has to pay off. If we apply these standards to motorways, some roads in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania would have to be demolished immediately,” says Dirk Flege, the managing director of Allianz per rail.

The rail network is growing for the first time in ninety years

But the shrinking of the rail network has finally come to an end, says Flege and speaks of a turning point. The railway is no longer dismantling, but the network is growing – as the federal government has longed for.

In their coalition agreement, the Union and the SPD agreed to double the number of passengers by 2030. But despite political will, the rail network became smaller and smaller and the road network increasingly dense by 2020. Many smaller cities lost their rail connections. But now Deutsche Bahn is putting 20 disused routes with a total length of 245 kilometers back into operation. “This is clearly just the beginning,” announced Jens Bergmann, head of planning at the DB Netz division. For people who live in the countryside, this could be good news.

Historical undesirable developments

For Martin Henke from the Association of German Transport Companies, it is even a historic one, because it ends an undesirable development that began ninety years ago with the construction of the first motorway. In the fifties and seventies there were real shutdown programs for railway lines, according to Henke. The Germans clearly preferred the car and built one of the densest motorway networks in the world.

After the fall of the Berlin Wall, it was a matter of optimizing, and politicians wanted the railway to be privatized as a stock exchange company. Rural local transport turned into a losing business. Deutsche Bahn speaks of a downward spiral: “If demand fell, little was done to make the route more attractive for passengers or freight traffic again.” According to Allianz pro Schiene, more than 15 percent of the rails were decoupled between 1990 and 2020 alone. But the mood in the country seems to have changed. The rail is experiencing broad political and social support, says association representative Henke. And this mood could also change the group.

“Every kilometer of track is active climate protection”

Among other things, the railway is putting closed connections in sparsely populated regions in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Schleswig-Holstein back into operation. Whether big money can be made with it seems at least questionable. But apparently that is no longer that important – what counts is political and social will.

Bergmann, board member of Deutsche Bahn, formulates the corporate objective as follows: “We want to attract more people to the railways, get more goods on the rails. Every kilometer of track is active climate protection.”

In the expansion expansion “Druid’s Fury”, players can go to tourist attractions in Ireland, such as Dublin, Ben Bulburn and Tara Hill, to appreciate the local natural scenery and cultural charm. The Irish Ministry of Tourism and Ubisoft jointly launched a promotional video in which the Irish landscape of “Assassin’s Creed: Hall of Valor” is compared with the real Irish landscape, and there is a cross-dimensional “sense of breaking the wall”.

In addition, this tourism promotion cooperation also invited famous game anchors from Britain, France, Germany and Spain to show and play the Irish scenery in “Druid’s Fury”, which is a wave of propaganda with the help of the game. It can be seen that Ubisoft’s expansion has a good restoration of the Irish Celtic style, so that more players can learn about Ireland, and can also think of Irish tourism from the scenery in the game. . The popularity of the game can often bring a lot of heat to the setting of the background. For example, the previous “Soul of Tsushima” attracted many players, and successfully raised funds for reconstruction with the help of the game’s popularity. You can see the potential and direction of the game to promote tourist attractions, and the local tourism department should also take advantage of the momentum to promote the local scenery and folk customs. At present, “Assassin’s Creed: Hall of Valor” will also launch a second new expansion-Siege of Paris. Maybe it will attract many players to become interested in Paris? Ubisoft also said before that it will launch more free updates in the future. In the recent E3 exhibition, Ubisoft also announced information about the third DLC “Stone Gate”. Some players deciphered data indicating that the story may be set in Moosebelheim. The above content comes from the game inn

The origin of this incident is that some cities have made a wish for a “digital economy”, admiring the name of “smart cities”, and they want to build “urban brains” one after another. This is a good thing. Who doesn’t want to be a fan of the computing power economy? If the local government builds the platform down-to-earth and the manufacturer deploys the product honestly, there is nothing to write about. But there are some weird phenomena, which creased this pool of spring water. Attention, there is weirdness! For example, more than half a month ago, a city’s artificial intelligence computing center project was completed and put into use to provide services such as public computing power for the artificial intelligence (AI) industry. What a good thing! However, in the media reports on the computing power of the center, such a strange appearance appeared: “The first phase of the center’s construction scale is 100P FLOPS artificial intelligence computing power… Its computing power is equivalent to 50,000 high-performance computers.” XX release, investment XX, a little information XX, etc. “The computing power of artificial intelligence is equivalent to 50,000 high-performance computers”, which is typically misleading. Coincidentally. Two years ago, when a large-scale intelligent computing project was launched in a city, the computing power released to the outside was “100PFLOPS”, and the topic was forcibly added: “Domestic AI training clusters enter the field of supercomputing”… The AI ​​dedicated smart computer became an all-round supercomputer at once, wonderful! Speaking of dollar as a “knife” and intelligent computers as supercomputers, who is pretending to be confused? Sorry for joining the stage! Is it really all the media? not necessarily. Regardless of whose pot it is, but see that the unhealthy wind is getting longer. In some places, in order to quickly launch the computing power project, the computing power is not discriminated, as long as the number is beautiful enough. Perhaps the local area did not spend a particularly large amount of capital, and built the so-called tens of P, hundreds of P computing power, thinking that it can compete with the national supercomputing center and launch a wave of computing power to drive the economy. Unexpectedly, when they invited supercomputer experts to ask, it didn’t seem to be the case. Why? You get what you pay for computing power. In order to quickly launch the computing power project, the smart computer and the supercomputer are stupidly unclear, and they are even more confused about what is the reasoning performance and what is the training performance. As a result, I thought that I spent a small amount of money to build a world-class supercomputer. It may cost a lot of money to build a machine with only reasoning performance. What does that sentence say? “ The gift of all destiny , The price has already been secretly marked . ” Today we will talk about the mystery of this. Smart computer VS super computer, can’t tell the difference? First of all, supercomputing is supercomputing. Some machines dedicated to AI computing are also called supercomputing, which is questionable. The Linpack test, which is currently used in the industry to measure supercomputers, tests the “double-precision floating-point computing capabilities” of supercomputers, that is, the calculation of 64-bit floating-point numbers (FP64), which is a high-precision numerical calculation. Among the digital precision expressed in binary, there are single precision (32-bit, FP32), half-precision (16-bit, FP16), and integer types (such as INT8, INT4). The higher the number of digits, it means that people can reflect the changes of the two values ​​in a larger range of values, so as to achieve more accurate calculations. Unlike many scientific calculations, the computing power required by AI does not need to be too high-precision. For example, some AI applications need to process speech, pictures, or videos. Inference or training can be completed by running low-precision calculations or even integer calculations. This kind of special computer processing AI algorithm is fast and low energy consumption, which is determined by its characteristics. To sum up, we can distinguish as follows: Smart computer Is a kind of dedicated computing power, they Good at intelligent calculations such as reasoning or training , But because AI reasoning or training generally only uses single-precision or even half-precision calculations, and integer calculations, most intelligent computers do not have the ability to perform high-precision numerical calculations. This also limits its use in application scenarios other than AI computing. In contrast, supercomputer It is a kind of general computing power, and its design goal is Provide complete and complex computing capabilities They are more capable of high-precision computing and have a wider range of applications. For example, scientists often use supercomputers for planetary simulation, new material development, molecular drug design, genetic analysis, and other scientific calculations and big data processing. Chen Zuoning, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, once vividly used supercomputing for AI calculations “Big Horse-drawn Car” , To illustrate that although supercomputing is “decathlon”, it is not tailor-made for AI after all; in order to do things cheaply, intelligent computers have emerged. The fusion of AI and supercomputing, which was once hyped before, is also an improved high-performance computer “AI Specialization” Strictly speaking, they no longer belong to the category of supercomputing in our traditional discourse system. Nowadays, regardless of the completion of the supercomputing center or the intelligent computing center, they all claim the computing power “FLOPS”. In fact, this unit is “floating point computing power per second”, and the unit of some smart computers is actually “OPS” – ―The number of operations per second. If there is no distinction, it is easy for everyone to mistake it for the same calculation accuracy and the same calculation ability. This also leads to Some places think that they have spent a small amount of money to build the world’s top “big supercomputing”, which seems to have taken advantage of it; when the project was launched and introduced to the supercomputing industry, they were dumbfounded. . Sorry, it’s on stage again! Use new indicators to guide the healthy development of the industry To avoid misleading and chaos in the industry, the concepts of smart computers and supercomputers must be clearly distinguished. As mentioned above, there is another misleading in the industry, that is, the reasoning performance and training performance of fuzzy intelligent computers. Compared with inference, training performance often requires higher calculation accuracy, such as 32-bit or even 64-bit. Most AI chips with “dazzling” performance often refer to their inference performance, and may only be theoretical values. For AI computing, training performance is often more important-many intelligent models depend on this. If you want to draw a schematic diagram of the computing power required by AI, “inference” is at the bottom of the computing power matrix, because half-precision computing power (FP16) or integer computing power (such as INT8) can meet the inference needs. The top one is “training”, which generally requires the use of single-precision computing power (FP32) or half-precision computing power (FP16); the most demanding computing power is the brain-like “simulation”, which requires double-precision computing power. Both computing power (FP64) and low-precision computing power are supported at the same time. In order to achieve better guidance, A simple and effective indicator is needed to help judge the AI ​​computing power of the system and the development status of the entire high-performance AI field . November 2020, Researcher of the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Secretary General of the High Performance Computing Professional Committee of the Chinese Computer Society Zhang Yunquan Joint Professor of Tsinghua University Chen Wenguang , Researcher of Argonne National Laboratory Pavan Balaji And professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich Torsten Hoefler , And the ACM SIGHPC China Committee jointly initiated the “International Artificial Intelligence Performance Computing Power 500 Ranking” (ie AIPerf500) based on the AIPerf large-scale AI computing power benchmark evaluation program. Those who are interested can look through this list, The computing power unit of the machines on the list is OPS . “Supercomputing and AI computing, one yard equals one yard, requires a new scale to guide the AI ​​computing industry on the path of healthy development.” Zhang Yunquan said. Can’t get around Nvidia?Domestic AI chips are waiting to be fought The computing power starts with the chip. On the AI ​​chip track, my country has chip design companies such as Huawei N Ten, Baidu Kunlun, and Suiyuan, but even so, domestic smart computers rarely bypass the American GPU giant Nvidia. This is a helpless reality: Nvidia is a tangible beneficiary of the many intelligent computing centers launched in China . AI chips that specialize in intelligent computing can achieve faster speeds and performance that is several orders of magnitude higher in low-precision calculations as long as the number of cores is large enough and the main frequency is high enough. However, if a computing cluster requires both high-precision calculations and low-precision calculations, the requirements for AI chips are high. This is also the killer of NVIDIA GPUs. Their computing power in various precisions is outstanding and very balanced (of course AI computing power is stronger), not to mention NV has a better software stack and application ecology. Sorry, it’s on stage again! This is one of the reasons why it is difficult for most domestic AI chips to compete head-to-head with NVIDIA GPUs. And if Nvidia finally successfully acquires ARM, it will be even more powerful and take off completely. However, domestically produced AI chips are not entirely without opportunities. first of all, At present, my country’s computing power infrastructure has a strong willingness to localize. Even if giants such as Nvidia and Intel take the lead, the tide of localization is still unstoppable due to various factors such as comprehensive cost and ecology. Secondly As far as the current development of AI is concerned, scenarios, data, models, and computing power are indispensable, which means that China will be a place where global AI computing power is rich in the future. As a core requirement, AI chips cannot be monopolized by one form or one ecology. The outstanding domestic AI chips such as Cambrian and N-Teng still have huge room for development. Furthermore Although the chip is the main source of computing power and the most fundamental material basis, the production, aggregation, scheduling, and release of computing power is a complete process that requires the cooperation of the software and hardware ecology of a complex system to achieve “effective computing power.” Therefore, we should not only pay attention to the single performance index of the chip, but also pay attention to the upper-level software application ecology. Is it impossible to develop AI without huge computing power? Finally, let’s talk about the development trend of AI. Behind the confusion of the concept of computing power is the soaring demand for computing power in AI computing like a wild horse. This is not surprising. The amount of AI training is determined by the amount of parameters. What is the scale of the parameters for training AI now? Hundreds of billions, trillions! OpenAI, an artificial intelligence non-profit organization jointly established by a number of Silicon Valley “tycoons”, launched its new generation of unsupervised translation language model GPT-3 in May 2020. It currently has 175 billion parameters and a training data volume of 45TB ( About 1 trillion words). The GPT-3 model has made major breakthroughs in semantic search, text generation, content understanding, and machine translation. Its greatest value is to verify the machine’s unsupervised self-learning ability, and to verify that performance can be improved purely by scaling up. The trillion-parameter model is already on the way. In early June, Beijing Zhiyuan Artificial Intelligence Research Institute released “Enlightenment 2.0”, claiming to reach 1.75 trillion parameters, surpassing the Switch Transformer previously released by Google, and becoming the world’s largest pre-training model. The rapid growth of the parameter volume also means higher computing requirements-some may require thousands of GPUs to provide the necessary computing power. For giant models like GPT, the demand for computing power is not a joke. Is it impossible to develop AI without huge computing power? Experts believe that in the current stage of AI development (perceptual intelligence and cognitive intelligence), computing power is still the first. In fact, the development of AI can be improved through computing power, or through the algorithm revolution, but at the current stage of “capital orientation”, Compared with the uncertainty of the algorithm model breakthrough, the increase of computing power is the easy choice. However, it must be pointed out that the use of huge computing power is not the only direction for the development of artificial intelligence. Giant models such as GPT-3 also have shortcomings, such as lack of common sense; and explore the mysterious mechanism of the human brain to realize small data learning and migration learning. It is also an important means. After all, the power consumption of the brain is only about 20W, and the realization of a smart system with low energy consumption may be a more important direction for efforts. (This article was written under the strong guidance of experts in the field of supercomputing such as Zhang Yunquan, Senior Commissioner of the Chinese Computer Society, and I would like to thank you!)

The reason why Tibet attracts a large number of foreign tourists is undoubtedly because of the unique charm of Tibet. There is a world-renowned sacred mountain and holy lake. There is also the unique local customs there. On the way to Tibet, we saw unforgettable beautiful scenery, but what made me more interested was the local customs. I think that is the true charm of Tibet. We drove to a small town called Payang Town and stayed here at night. Payang is a prairie town with a western flavor. The streets are full of clean dust. The town is loosely lined with neatly arranged houses. The Tibetan residents who go between the alleys are also very resident in their clothes. Now the Tibetan compatriots are very Chinese in their dress. In 2005, I saw Tibetan women in Payang town wearing very primitive Tibetan robes. There is also a large pasture outside the town. Cows and sheep swim among the green grasslands and snow-capped mountains, creating a picturesque pastoral scenery. They live in an environment surrounded by mountains and lakes. Seeing them wandering around the town freely, I feel that they are carefree. Payang Town is not very big. The square in the center of the town is an important meeting and exchange place for the whole town. There are often many Tibetans hanging out here, and children running around chasing and playing. Many unique pictures of people can be taken here. . A lot of people walked around here, as if they were celebrating a festival. There was a temple beside the square, and there was a prayer wheel beside the temple. The elderly Tibetan compatriots were walking with rosary beads in their hands and silently chanting Tibetan. After the war, his face showed a very pious look, turning around the prayer wheel round and round. They were wearing shabby Tibetan robes, their faces were dark and red, with sunburn on their faces, typical plateau red. I’m better at capturing the moments when they are soaring. Women’s heads are wrapped tightly with scarves, and they can’t take facial expressions at all. I guess they are tanning. The little girl in the town did not have a scarf on her face, her face was really dark, but she looked very cute! I distributed a pound of candy I bought to the local children, and one by one stretched out the little black hands to ask me for the candy. I was very proud and happy to watch them chewing the candy I bought in their little mouths. I took a lot of pictures of them. There are many tents set up in the town, and there are many dazzling products in them. It is said that they are Danba Tibetans from Sichuan, who specialize in business. The women are all dressed up very beautifully, especially their headwear is decorated with a lot of colorful accessories, and the braids are also very long, thick and very dark. We visited the families of the richest Tibetan compatriots in the area. Their family owned several shops, and the host seemed to be someone who had met the world. He was a soldier and spoke Mandarin very well. His home is very large, spacious and bright. The room is full of Tibetan furniture, which seems to be one of the richest families in the area. In the evening, the Tibetan driver King Ali invited us to eat raw beef. He went to the village and bought a catty and a half of red raw beef. He personally cooked and cut it into pieces. After peeling the garlic, he told us that it would be raw beef together. Eat, and tell us: This raw beef was not killed today, it was killed yesterday, so it is soulless beef. Hearing these words, I laughed to death. It turns out that Tibetan compatriots are still very particular about eating meat, and they can still have something to do with religion. Many people are afraid to eat the bloody beef. King Ali ate it on his own regardless of the three-seven-two-one. I thought to myself that since I came, I might as well give it a try. I ate three pieces of raw beef and felt that the original raw beef tastes very delicious. Tibetan driver Ali Wang Talking about the Tibetan driver Ali Wang King Ali (nickname) is a legendary figure. He is in his forties and looks very burly, with a typical image of a Tibetan man. I feel that his way of thinking has the way of thinking of Han people. Because he is extremely religious. In many ways, he strictly enforced it in accordance with the patriarchal concept. For example, he doesn’t drink alcohol and never gambling. When he ate the livestock, he could not eat the slaughtered that day, saying that there was a soul attached to the livestock, and he had to eat the next day. When he picked up a piece of chicken and put it to his mouth, he immediately asked the cook when it was killed. This behavior amused us. He once went on foot to Nepal and India to pass through and pay homage to the Buddha. He still has a lot of personal experiences that are very bumpy, so I can’t talk about it here. I feel that he shouldn’t be a driver at all, but that he should be an entrepreneur and a leader. Especially his eyes are amazing. As long as you ask him on many questions, he will answer you very carefully. My friends and I joked that King Ali was like a party secretary, and his speech was particularly straightforward. King Ali is not only a driver, but also owns three Japanese-style off-road vehicles, one of which he drives by himself and the other for rent. He is also a bargaining businessman who is cunning and humorous, intelligent and open-minded. However, in the following years, I saw a travel note written by a traveler on the Internet saying that King Ali had died of cancer. After seeing this news, King Ali’s voice and smile suddenly appeared in my mind, which made me feel good. It’s been too slow for a while. Payang Town is a small town with a special Tibetan style, where you can really feel how Tibetan compatriots live and entertain. I also took a lot of satisfactory photos, which added a lot of fun to my trip.

What if I can’t afford it, but want to own it? A guy from Hainan came up with such a way. Since you can’t afford a luxury car, then build one yourself! So he spent 30,000 to build a supercar himself. It is said that the local tyrant paid 500,000 yuan, but the guy did not sell it. This Hainan guy is named Chen Yinxi. He has been very interested in cars running on the road since he was a child. After seeing a sports car for the first time, his heart was full of excitement that he wanted to own. But looking at the expensive price, the guy was discouraged. Because he knew that even if he struggled for a lifetime, he couldn’t own such a sports car. However, just when he thought he could only dream of his life, he saw the news that there was a young man from Henan who had built a luxury car out of stones. Such a news instantly made Chen Yinxi immediately start, wondering why didn’t he build his own sports car like the Henan guy? In this way, he began his own car-making journey. Because Chen Yinxi didn’t know much about the details of the car’s structure. For this reason, he went to work in the auto repair shop for a period of time, and he learned a lot of knowledge from the masters there. Finally, after many months, the guy had a general idea of ​​the sports car he wanted to build. After designing the appearance of the supercar, he took his only 30,000 yuan and began to buy the car materials he needed. When this young guy was fighting spirits, the family looked at such a young guy, and they had such whimsical ideas, and they poured cold water. However, the cold wind and ridicule of the family. Chen Yinxi didn’t care, but started his own supercar creation. After a long time, he finally built his own sports car. Looking at the supercar in the picture, I have to say that the guy is really talented. According to the guy, this is a supercar powered by pure electricity. The domineering appearance, coupled with the fiery red color, makes this car look extremely public. Although the lamp of this car uses an oval design, it still shows a very sharp feeling. Viewed from the side, the bumpy design of this car makes it look like a tough guy’s muscles. Unexpectedly, this design is only from a young man. It is so admirable. Although the ultra-low chassis design is not suitable for domestic roads, Chen Yinxi said that he did not want to drive it on the road, but the process of creation made him very satisfied. Later, the guy created such a supercar and was posted on the Internet. It didn’t take long for a local tyrant to show that he would pay 500,000 yuan for the acquisition. However, Chen Yinxi chose to refuse the acquisition of the local tyrant after careful consideration. Because for him, this sports car built for 30,000 has long become invaluable by money. This supercar has now become a testimony of his hard work and a masterpiece that proves his ability. Moreover, it has already become a priceless thing in Chen Yinxi’s mind that nothing can replace!

Hào S? ph??ng, translated as Haoshifang. This is an ordinary alley, few tourists remember, even the Vietnamese do not know that such an alley exists.

Hao Shi Fang is located at No. 206 Chen Xing Road, Ho Chi Minh City. It is not easy to find Hao Shi Fang in the crisscross alleys without the locals or people familiar with Chen Xing Tao Street leading the way.

There are 34 houses in the two rows of Haoshifang Street. Most of the residents are Vietnamese who work locally. These people are not well-off and often drag their families to live in crowded old houses.

The two rows of old houses look like a Chinese township in the 1970s. The Vietnamese people who came out of the houses had no expressions on their faces and frowned. I don’t know whether it was because of the hardship of life or the coming pressure of rent.

Hao Shi Fang is not a local tyrant. The reason for this name is that in the past the owner of the alley was called “Haotu”, and Haotu hired a lot of Chaozhou people to work here. Now there are only a few old Chaozhou people left in the alley who run small shops to make a living. Mention the alley. Many old people still remember the origin of the story.

The shadow of the workshop has long since disappeared in Hao Shi Fang, and there are no local tyrants in the alleys. The place is full of poverty, rudimentary and dilapidated atmosphere. Renovation?

Processing pork products at Vinh Anh Food Technology Joint Stock Company, Thuong Tin district (Hanoi). According to Anova Feed Joint Stock Company, on May 24, in the North, the price of live pigs in the whole region ranged from 64,000 to 71,000 VND/kg. In the central region, also recorded from 67,000 to 72,000 VND/kg. In the South, the transaction remained in the range of 67,000 – 69,000 VND/kg. A pig farm owner in Thanh Ba – Phu Tho said that the price of live pigs in the area tends to decrease, currently at about 69,000 VND/kg for grade 1 pigs. If pigs are raised by the people themselves, the price is only from 64,000 to 64,000 VND. 66,000 VND/kg and commented that hog prices may continue to go down due to the slow consumption situation due to the COVID-19 epidemic. While the price of live hog tends to decrease sharply, the price of meat on the market in Hanoi is still quite high. According to the owner of a pork shop in the market in Yen Hoa ward, Cau Giay, Hanoi, the price of delicious pork is currently ranging from 130,000 to 150,000 VND/kg. Specifically, the price of delicious ribs is 150,000 VND / kg, lean shoulder meat is from 140,000 -150,000 VND / kg, pork butt is 130,000 VND / kg, pork leg meat is 140,000 VND / kg… last month. At the supermarket, the price of pork has decreased but is still at a high level of 116,000 – 155,000 VND/kg, even young ribs are still at 200,000 VND/kg. Specifically, lean butt meat is 120,000 VND/kg, lean thigh is 142,000 VND/kg, shoulder lean is 155,000 VND/kg, lean ground is 149,000 VND/kg, shoulder is 116,000 VND/kg…

Hanoi is the locality with the most people downloading the anti-epidemic application Bluezone Out of 33 million people using Bluezone, more than 20.58 million people have entered their phone number in the information on the application. The number of people providing phone numbers to the authorities has increased by nearly 1 million people compared to April 28, 2021. The two localities leading the country in the number of people downloading the Bluezone application are Hanoi (3.1 million people) and Ho Chi Minh City (2.83 million people). In the opposite direction, provinces like Dien Bien (70,500 people), Tuyen Quang (121,000 people), Yen Bai (130,000 people), … are the localities with the lowest number of people downloading Bluezone. Considering the percentage of population, Da Nang (43.7%), Hai Duong (40%), Hanoi (38.6%), Quang Ninh (37%), Bac Ninh (34%) are localities has the most number of Bluezoners. However, there is a fact that the number of people who download and actually use the Bluezone application is still a significant difference. In Hanoi, where the most people download Bluezone, the number of Bluezone accounts actually active is only 1.23 million, accounting for 40% of the total number of accounts. Meanwhile, in Ho Chi Minh City, the number of real Bluezone users (turn on Bluetooth for Bluezone to work) is about 1.1 million people, accounting for 38% of the total number of accounts. The same thing happened in Da Nang (40%), Hai Duong (38%), Quang Ninh (38%), Bac Ninh (39%), Hai Phong (38%), Thai Nguyen (38%) when not Which province or city has the number of people actually using Bluezone exceeding 50% of the population. Currently, Hanoi, Bac Ninh, Bac Giang, Vinh Phuc, Da Nang,… all have documents to encourage people to apply technological solutions such as electronic medical declaration and install Bluezone application to prevent , anti-epidemic. The Bluezone application is currently one of the five recommended technology solutions to prevent the spread of Covid-19. This is a low energy Bluetooth technology application solution. Smartphones with Bluezone installed can communicate with each other, recording close contact. The exposure history data will only be saved on the user’s mobile device. When there is a new infection and that person’s mobile phone has Bluezone installed, the contact history will be used to alert those who also have Bluezone installed and have been in close contact with the case. Bluezone can also help alert F2 people (close contact with F1). Bluezone warns if the user has been in close contact with someone infected with Covid-19, helping to reduce the risk of spreading in the community, helping people return to normal life.

Localities must review and increase their capacity for emergency, active resuscitation and treatment of Covid-19 patients. Illustration The official cable stated that, from April 28, 2021 up to now, the situation of the Covid-19 epidemic has had very serious developments. The whole country recorded over 2,000 cases of Covid-19 in 30 provinces and cities; 9 deaths. About 10% of cases have severe and very severe course. Some localities do not have good preparation for emergency and active resuscitation conditions, so when there are serious cases, they are awkwardly handled and transferred to higher levels, putting pressure and overloading on end-line hospitals. Faced with this serious challenge, the National Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control is the head of the Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control; Chairman of the People’s Committees of provinces and cities urgently consolidate the conditions of facilities, equipment and emergency vehicles, especially ventilators, central oxygen systems, compressed air, consumables, medicines. necessary; strengthen the capacity of emergency and active resuscitation at provincial and municipal general hospitals and hospitals assigned to collect and treat Covid-19 cases. Provinces and cities that have not detected Covid-19 cases immediately send treatment teams to train and improve their diagnostic and treatment capacity at last-line hospitals (or train online). The National Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control criticized hospitals assigned to treat Covid-19 in some provinces and cities for their lack of initiative in emergency work, active resuscitation, and case treatment. disease Covid-19. The Steering Committees for Covid-19 Prevention and Control in the provinces and cities direct the directors of the health departments and the directors of the hospitals to review the capacity of hospitals to treat Covid-19 patients in the area; prepare conditions to receive, isolate and treat patients according to the motto “4 on the spot”. The Department of Health and hospitals report daily case progress, treatment capacity, emergency, and active resuscitation on the online software cdc.kcb.vn. Localities are ready to prepare plans to assign at least one hospital in the area as a field hospital (based on the local population size), including arranging emergency and intensive care areas and prepare medical equipment and other conditions.

The second and third time. Still with kind smiles, still enthusiastic and hospitable, when the train carrying our group was about to dock, the image of tourist households standing in line and giving guests conical hats to shade the sun was already there. Leave a good impression in everyone’s heart. Brand new look If in the early days of doing tourism, the family members of the seven households on Con Ho were chosen with many surprises, today instead is professionalism in how to welcome and serve visitors. On both sides of the road leading to Mr. Hai Nguyen’s house (the first person of Con Ho to boldly register to participate in the implementation of the Thuan Thien tourism model) is a row of flowers blooming in the sun at ten o’clock, blue pea flowers blooming in the sky. Welcome gate with the words “Tea and flowers of Hai Nguyen butterfly” make visitors curious and interested. Over a cup of tea, Mr. Hai Nguyen said: “Not only tourists but also people on Con Ho have never thought that there will be a tourist day, nor can they imagine that Con Ho today has brought on a face. completely new. For more than a year, people have welcomed many delegations inside and outside the province to visit, learn about the culinary culture, lifestyle of local people as well as the wild beauty on Con Ho. We have the opportunity to introduce to visitors the food and drinks of local products prepared by ourselves, the ingredients are also grown and cared for by the people themselves. Con Ho was very sad before doing tourism, because the young generation all went to big cities to study and live, most of them were old people on Con. Now, every week, Con Ho welcomes groups of guests from all over the world to visit and learn, in July, households can welcome a group of several dozen people, Con Ho is crowded and bustling.” Mr. Hai Nguyen shared. Mr. Hai Nguyen, one of the first people to boldly register to participate in self-tourism, feels happy because Con Ho is now clean and spacious and more and more tourists come to visit and interact with people. The yard in front of the house, which was used by Nguyen Van Trai and his wife to make a barn for pigs and chickens, has now been renovated to the Herbal Garden, for visitors to relax after participating in experiential activities at Con Dao.

Hai Trai Herb Garden is a place where guests can relax after a period of time participating in experiential activities on Con Ho. From the perspective of tourists, Ms. Nguyen Thai Tuong Van, Director of Thai Loan Tourism Company in Bien Hoa City (Dong Nai province) for the second time to Con Ho said: Currently, the needs of tourists are very diverse. Many people like to learn and discover the beauty as well as the unique characteristics of culture with this type of experience tourism.

From there, people exchange, connect and form positive social relationships that help people’s lives and production. In particular, according to Dr. Ta Duy Linh: Tourism helps to enhance the status and role of women in the family. Currently, nearly 70% of the force involved in tourism activities in Con Ho are women. Women are shown skills, talents and create more motivation to think positively for women. Women are increasingly playing an active and important role in the exploitation and development of tourism in the locality. The above changes have partly met the initial goal of the self-directed tourism model deployed by the Research Institute for Economic Development and Tourism in collaboration with the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Tra Vinh. perform. The market for Con Ho tourism products is that domestic and foreign tourists tend to enjoy the experience of searching for nostalgia, memories and have a high ability to pay. At the same time, through the application and deployment of self-tourism model, stakeholders are expected to introduce impressive destinations and share valuable emotions for visitors. The model of community-based tourism is highly appreciated by tourists as well as tour operators due to the unspoiled natural environment, and the cultural life that still preserves the village culture of the South. Deputy Director of Tra Vinh Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism Tran Van Thanh said: After the Con Ho community ecotourism model was put into operation, it contributed to creating more products to serve tourists.

In the coming time, in the immediate future, during the complicated situation of the COVID-19 epidemic, the province will focus on perfecting and “refreshing” tourism products, training to improve professional skills and building programs stimulate demand to attract tourists when the COVID-19 epidemic situation stabilizes. In the long term, Tra Vinh will continue to invest in a number of typical products for each locality based on indigenous cultural factors and typical tourism resources of each locality associated with climate change adaptation according to the model. “Thuan Thien” tourism aims to both develop and promote cultural values ​​associated with environmental protection for sustainable tourism development./.

VOV information, from the Lunar New Year up to now, the price of live pigs has continuously decreased. The live hog price is currently at its lowest level in a year, while the downward trend continues. Currently, the price of live pigs in the North ranges from 67,000-70,000 VND / kg. In the Central, Central Highlands and the South, the live pig price is 70,000-72,000 VND / kg. Experts assessed that the price of pork decreased because the domestic supply was initially assured, the re-herding in localities took place smoothly, the source of imported frozen pork was still large, directly competing with the source. domestic livestock “hot” pork. However, the market is still volatile with the risk of African swine fever and rising animal feed prices due to rising world raw material prices. Young cicadas cost half a million still expensive Cicadas in early summer are expensive (Photo: Dan Tri) Young cicada is a popular dish, familiar in many villages, but recently, they have become a specialty in the city. According to Dan Tri Newspaper, the source of cicada consumption is mainly restaurants, pubs and specialty shops specializing in forest products. Prices of ticks are increasingly being pushed up due to insufficient supply and demand. In the early summer, cicada nymphs, also known as young cicadas, were actively sold on the internet market for 400,000-500,000 VND / kg. Animal feed prices have risen sharply Recently, the price of a series of animal feed has increased sharply, causing many difficulties for both businesses and breeders of pigs, chickens, ducks, fish, shrimp … According to the Law of Ho Chi Minh City, in animal husbandry, the cost of feed accounts for 60-70% of the production cost, so when the price of food increases, the production cost will increase. The decrease in supply is due to the fact that many breeders do not dare to re-herd, plus the increase in production costs will push the selling price of finished products (pork, chicken, duck, …) up. Airfares have plummeted, increasing fees for passengers After the ceremony of 30/4, the air ticket price dropped sharply, many stages were less than half a million dong / ticket. The reason is that the demand for travel has decreased, plus the outbreak of Covid-19 disease in some localities has also made many people travel restricted. This causes airlines to adjust fares on routes to stimulate demand for travel. The airlines simultaneously increased fees with passengers flying. (Photo: Dan Tri) Meanwhile, Vietnam Airlines, Pacific Airlines, Vasco and Bamboo Airways will increase the system administration fee by 100,000 VND / flight. And passengers will have to bear this fee. According to the airlines, the increase of system administration fee is to adjust to the current market, helping the airline improve service quality, especially the ticketing system is better operated. Selling sports equipment, mounting baffles, shipper “cashing in” season Translating Covid-19 causes limited outdoor and collective sports activities.

The service of installing partitions and bathing was also active when the epidemic broke out again. Many stores do business, manufacture partitions, “single blast” showerheads in recent days. Companies that provide home disinfection spray services record orders increase by dozens of times compared to normal days. The outbreak of Covid-19 made business people afraid to go to crowded restaurants. This caused shipper’s orders to skyrocket these days. Mask dealers massively discharge inventory After a long period of silence, the groups of buying and selling masks have had the opportunity to become active again in the last few days with the appearance of Covid-19 positive cases in the community in some localities. Mask-men who hugged their products since last year have not been able to discharge the new service to take advantage of opening warehouses to discharge inventory and also not forgetting to raise prices. In the group specializing in wholesale masks on social networks, a medical mask agent offered a price of 1.2 million VND / carton (50 boxes of 50 pieces per carton).

With dozens of Covid-19 positive cases being discovered every day, many solutions such as localization, tracing of suspected infected people, vaccination, community immunization, … have been deployed to limit the spread of the disease. However, unlike other pandemics, Covid-19 is showing that this is not just a common pandemic. With many variations and outbreaks, the prevention of Covid-19 is a long battle and requires the participation of the whole society. This fact shows that non-traditional anti-epidemic solutions are needed. Anti-epidemic technology is the most optimal choice today for the society to function normally. People harvest agricultural products in the epidemic heart in Hai Duong. Photo: Trong Dat To meet the urgent requirements of epidemic prevention and control, the Ministry of Information and Communications has issued the document “Instructions on the use of Covid-19 support solutions to prevent, combat and trace in the community”. Accordingly, in order to combat epidemics with technology, localities need to combine many different solutions. These solutions included the implementation of the installation of Bluezone (the application of warning for close contact with suspected Covid-19) and NCOVI (voluntary medical declaration management system). Localities also need to deploy the system to record people coming and going to public places through QR code scanning and epidemic prevention map system. For places with airports and border gates, these localities need to make electronic medical declaration for people entering. What is the effectiveness of anti-epidemic technology by technology? According to experts, technology solutions such as Bluezone applications can only achieve high efficiency if they are used by more than 60% of the population. Recognition of the developer shows that, as of March 2021, more than 30 million people used Bluezone applications. Considering the actual implementation efficiency, during the 2nd Covid-19 outbreak (July 25, 2020) in Hai Duong, with the proportion of people who installed Bluezone being 27%, 1,035 was identified in this locality. F1, F2. Many recommendations have been made by authorities about people should install Bluezone application to receive warnings in case of contact with suspected Covid-19. Photo: Trong Dat In the second outbreak on January 27, 2021 in Hai Duong, the rate of installing Bluezone applications was 43% of the total population of the province. As a result, the system has traced 1,993 F1 and F2 cases. It is noteworthy that by doing this, the health agency found 17 positive cases outside the list of traditional epidemiological investigations. With the successes and experiences gained in Hai Duong, Bluezone is considered as the most effective measure for effective zoning, helping to maintain the status of an isolated house, the whole society can still operate normally. With NCOVI application, as of February 3, 2021, the number of NCOVI applications installed was 7.8 million. The number of medical declaration records for the entire population is 18 million, the number of updated health monitoring records is 52.95 million, the number of scan records of QR code is 7.25 million. Medical declarations are basic input so that health agencies can keep informed about the health situation of each citizen. The large collection of medical manifest data also makes it possible for authorities to immediately detect a large-scale Covid-19 outbreak. Citizens are encouraged to make electronic medical declarations at least 1 time per day. Recently, Vietnam is using another solution, which is to check in to save epidemiological landmarks with QR codes. With this measure, people need to scan QR codes to check in every time they go to public places. In the event that a person is determined positive for Covid-19, the authorities will base on the history of scanning the QR code of the person to filter out the “epidemiological landmarks” that the patient has joined or went to. for a period of 3 days before onset of illness. Those who have arrived at the “epidemiological milestones” during the time the patient checked in will be listed for the investigator to trace, from which the F1s will be identified. Workers at the aluminum mine in Lam Dong perform check-in by QR code upon arrival at the workplace. According to the representative of Bkav – Bluezone application development unit, the measure of checking in public places helps to quickly track outbreak places such as restaurants and markets. In addition, the regular check-in by QR code on Bluezone also helps to increase the efficiency of contact recognition. Storing “epidemiological landmarks” by QR code, tracing suspected infected persons by Bluezone and medical declaration on NCOVI will form a set of tools to help early detection, effective localization and limit the spread of the epidemic. This is how Make in Vietnam digital technologies creep and solve problems in life.

The staff at the inspection point informed that the vehicle had been weighed twice, the weight display was consistent, and it had been signed and confirmed by himself, so he did not agree to his request. Afterwards, Zhao Moumou sat on the seat of the violation processing room by himself. During the period, the staff were busy with work and there was no communication between the two parties.

At 19:09, another car owner entered the illegal handling room to handle business. Zhao Moumou asked him to dial 120 for help. At this time, the on-site police found that Zhao had bleeding on the outside of his left forearm, so he called 110 for help. The staff at the inspection point immediately took out the first aid kit and bandaged the wound.

Recently, according to data from a number of online travel platforms, bookings of travel products for Tomb-sweeping Festival and the May 1st holiday are hot, with the number of air tickets booked surpassing the same period in 2019, and air ticket prices have also rebounded, and the fares of some popular routes have increased by more than two According to statistics, Shanghai-Sanya, Beijing-Sanya, and Shanghai-Chongqing fares have increased by 46%, 112%, and 16% respectively year-on-year.

Will there be a compensatory rebound in tourism demand during Qingming and May Day holidays? How has the tourism market recovered this year? Sohu think tank connected with Wang Qiyan, director of the Leisure Economics Research Center of Renmin University of China.

Wang Qiyan said that this year’s Spring Festival, the implementation of the in-situ Chinese New Year policy for safety considerations, does have a backlog of tourism demand, which will be released during the Qingming Festival and the May 1st holiday. But he also emphasized that the Spring Festival in China is a time for family reunion, and the proportion of tourism demand is not very high compared to visiting relatives. Therefore, we need to look at the release and rebound of tourism demand objectively.

Wang Qiyan pointed out that with the rise of local tourism and nearby tourism economies, if the tourism industry wants to seize the opportunity, it needs to focus on three aspects. First of all, providing adequate services is the most fundamental thing for the industry. Second, innovation will always be the theme, and it must be a two-wheel drive of culture and technology. Third, the government should do a good job of supervision, including issues such as not defrauding consumers, which require more attention from the government.

Will outbound tourism resume in the second half of the year? Wang Qiyan said that it is still very difficult to predict. From the perspective of foreign epidemic prevention and control, there is a positive side. For example, some places are also learning China’s vaccination. But there are also negative factors. Some areas still go their own way, don’t wear masks and gather casually. Therefore, we should be cautious about the recovery of situational tourism.

As one of China’s outstanding traditional arts, bonsai is also known as “three-dimensional painting” and “silent poetry”.

However, for many beginners, it takes certain skills and accomplishments to make an exquisite bonsai. Skills are easy to learn, but the key difficulty lies in literacy. This cannot be done overnight, it requires bit by bit accumulation.

Today, I will take you to Yangzhou Bonsai Garden, a classical garden where thousands of fine bonsais are displayed.

The city of Yangzhou is really suitable for the temperament of classical gardens.

Yangzhou, which faces the Yangtze River in the south and the Grand Canal in the Spring and Autumn Period in the east, can be traced back to 486 BC. The beauty of its scenery, the wonders of scenery, and the prosperity of culture have made poets extremely concerned about and lingering about it.

“There are three bright moon nights in the world, and the two rogues are Yangzhou”; “The old man quits the Yellow Crane Tower to the west, and the fireworks go down to Yangzhou in March”; “Just ask the partners in Jiangnan, who is like me and drunk in Yangzhou” … countless poems singing the beauty of Yangzhou, Fresh or tactful, it has been passed down for thousands of years. Of all the cities in China, Yangzhou may only be so special.

In Yangzhou Slender West Lake Scenic Area, there is a bonsai garden. This is a professional bonsai garden of one of the five major schools of bonsai in China. It has the characteristics of “different levels, strict and stable”, “three bends in one inch”, and the shape of “clouds”, which is amazing.

The predecessor of the bonsai garden was the Guyun Garden in the early Qing Dynasty. It is a pity that I haven’t found much information about this garden.

The current bonsai garden was opened to the public in 1986 and covers an area of ​​about 5 hectares. It mainly includes four scenic spots: “Juanshidongtian”, “Xiyuan Qushui” and “Hongqiao Repair”. Another scenic spot, “Green Yangcheng Guo” has not been restored.

In addition, there are more than 40 ancient bonsais in the bonsai garden, many of which are unique in shape and exquisite craftsmanship, which are very precious. Most people come for these bonsais, but in fact, just looking at the garden itself is also extremely beautiful.

In the early spring of March and April, the bonsai garden is full of gorgeous flowers.

Look, there is a wooden boat parked by the winding river. The willow trees on the shore just sprouted and swayed gently in the breeze, and the strands of green were rendered just right. In front of the willow tree, there are three or two peach blossoms, one peach-pink piled up on the branches. One green and one red, set off each other, spring intoxicating.

Here, the naughty branches and leaves are slanting out, the full flowers are particularly eye-catching, and the background buildings are full of primitive connotations.

The first in the middle of the park is “Juanshidongtian”. The whole attraction is connected by water inside and outside, and connected by a long corridor.

“Juanshidongtian” is one of the twenty-four scenic spots in the northern suburbs of Qianlong. The name comes from the “Book of Rites”: “Today’s Fushan, there are so many stones in one scroll, and its vast vegetation, where animals and animals live, and treasures .It means to build a cave house where gods live with a stone like a fist.

Therefore, the most worth seeing of Juanshidongtian is the outdoor rockery. The mountains and rivers here are interdependent, with strange mountains, strange rocks, and quiet caves. The caves return from the peaks and the clear springs revolve, just like a fairyland. You can enjoy the wonder of “there is a hole in the hole, there is sky in the hole; there are holes in the water, there is sky in the water”.

The central and western part of the park is the “Xiyuan Qushui”, where the waters of the Slender West Lake and the South Lake and the Beicheng River meet, so this place wins with water. Along the water along the road are characteristic buildings of the Ming and Qing dynasties. There are Songchu Hall, Xuanluo Water Pavilion, Fuliu Pavilion, Nanyi Shifang, Huanxiang Pavilion and so on.

The central and southern part of the park is the “Hongqiao Renovation”, which is the former site of the “Hongqiao Garden”. During the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, Wang Shizhen, an official of Yangzhou, once repaired the Hongqiao here, leaving behind the famous “Yechun Quatrains”. Under the blue sky, the black and white buildings are extremely simple, and the flying corners of the canopy are smooth, and you almost have to wonder if you have crossed.

When you walk around in the bonsai garden, you can feel the endless variety of landscaping methods in Jiangnan gardens. The curving cobblestone road is facing a low wall, outside the wall is the unstoppable dense spring.

The stone steps between the bamboo forests seem to be walking in spring in the mountains. Even the breeze brings the freshness of bamboo.

Although the stone-built tunnel is a bit depressing, at the end is the opening of another village.

If you have enough leisure, you can also take a cruise to visit the bonsai garden.

The magnificent painting boat drove smoothly on the water, and the scenery on both sides rushed to people’s eyes through the windows. The green trees and red flowers are full of vitality. After a long time, you will be infected by this liveliness.

Don’t forget, the focus of the bonsai garden is naturally bonsai.

Yangpai bonsai has a long history and unique style, and is listed as one of the five major schools of bonsai in China. The boutique area in the bonsai garden displays more than a thousand bonsai pots, including past award-winning bonsai works, and even several pairs of bonsai from the Qing Dynasty.

As a professional bonsai garden, Yangzhou bonsai garden is as famous as Xiyuan in Guangzhou, Du Fu Thatched Cottage in Sichuan, Longhua Botanical Garden in Shanghai, and Wanjing Villa in Suzhou. They are decorated with ancient and elegant works of art.

When you look through the flower windows on the white wall and see a pot of unique bonsai, even if the size is not large, you can still use your imagination and associate it with many stories. This special landscaping method consciously “borrows” the scenery outside the window into the scope of the view inside the window, plus the unique lines of the bonsai itself, which together constitute the charm of Yangzhou Bonsai Garden.

The bonsai garden is now open for free, so many Yangzhou locals like to come here and enjoy the comfort of life.

The sword-dancing mother is brave and brave, and her limbs are so flexible that she can’t tell her age. The long sword cut through the air, leaving beautiful curves.

Here the uncles formed a folk band, and the melodious music can be heard far away, echoing in the bonsai garden.

The pipa, the erhu…the traditional Chinese musical instruments turned into touching notes in their hands, and they combined with the scenery of the bonsai garden, which made people feel relaxed. I really envy them that even though they are old, they still enjoy the state of life.

After walking through the bonsai garden, I suddenly felt that Jiangnan gardens can really be so beautiful, you should take a look at it yourself.

The rhythm of visiting the ancient town has always been slow, and it is also a comfortable rhythm in spring. Perhaps it is to welcome tourists from all over the world who come to eat loquats. The enthusiasm moved the temperature and directly hit the mark of summer. However, it did not affect our mood of slowly visiting the ancient town, perhaps this is another feeling.

Tangqi has a long history. It was once a place where merchants gathered. It is a veritable big town. In the ancient town of Tangqi, there is a museum that tells the local history and stories of Tangqi-Fangzhiguan. If you are just strolling along the riverside under the blue tiles and white walls, you may feel that it is just the quiet atmosphere of the ancient town, and the peace you seek in your heart. But walking into the local chronicles pavilion can really make you understand this ancient town.

As the head of the “Top Ten Famous Towns in the South of the Yangtze River”, Tangqi has a profound cultural heritage and many scholars have emerged. Tangqi is home to many cultural relics, including the Guangji Long Bridge, Guo Pu Ancient Well, Qianlong Royal Stele, Shuinan Temple… and tells people the style of the past. Tangqi is not only an outstanding place, but also rich in products. Loquat is famous all over the world, silk fragrant overseas, and it has been a tribute town since ancient times.

Tangqi is an ancient town and a new city at the same time. Although it has lost the “36-Six Bridges” and “72-Tiao Ban Nongs” after the vicissitudes of time, her soul and roots are still there, and it is still full of vitality. And vitality. There are also many models combined with 3 technologies on display in the museum, which more vividly show the past and present of the ancient town of Tangqi.

The appearance of the ancient town of Tangqi after years of change.

Starting from the Guangji Bridge, this masterpiece of ancient bridge architecture connects the two banks of the ancient town of Tangqi and stands on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

As the only remaining seven-hole stone arch bridge on the ancient canal, it also assumes the most important building between the two banks. No matter where you go along the river, you have to go back to Guangji Bridge if you want to cross the other bank.

Suddenly, the water lilies under the bridge rushed to bloom, light pink and white, dotted on the river bank, ripples, all adding vitality to this ancient town.

Next to the Guangji Bridge is the ancient well of Guo Pu, built by the Eastern Jin writer Guo Pu. The river whose water depth exceeds that of the Tangxi River was excavated as a water supply site at that time, so it is now fenced off and used as a cultural relics protection site.

The Qianlong Royal Stele is on the west side of Jesus Church on Shuibei Street. Since it is the Qianlong Royal Stele, it was naturally erected during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. In fact, this imperial stele in Tangqi serves as a demarcation stele. In the past, Shuibei Street was under the jurisdiction of Deqing and Hangxian counties. With this monument as the boundary, Hangzhou County is located on the east of the monument, and Deqing County is located on the west of the monument.

If you are hungry, you might as well come to Shuibei Street to taste the local delicacies here. The old street is more than one kilometer away, and there are gatherings of Tangqi folk food, intangible cultural heritage display, traditional folk art display, traditional folk art display, and traditional silk. Cultural display…rich food and folklore, just an old street makes people linger.

The most delicious food on the old street is the mochi. All kinds of mochi can’t help but swallow. There are also steamed meatballs, turquoise loquat, zongzi, etc., from the street to the end of the street, from the end of the street to the street.

If you are interested in storytelling in the south of the Yangtze River, you might as well go to the Tangqi Tea House and spend 20 yuan for tea money, and listen to the storytellers here, telling stories about the family stories that happened in this small town.

Listening to storytelling is not just about listening. Yan Yi of the storyteller can be said to be very hard, and a piece of it is an emoticon. However, the storytelling here is all in the ancient town dialect. For outsiders, it is still a bit confusing, so the old people in the teahouse are more of the town.

Compared to the rhythm of the day, it is more suitable to visit the ancient town at night. The ancient town of Tangqi at night has a more mysterious flavor than during the day. There are fewer people, the lights are on, and the river is brightened by lanterns on both sides of the river. , There are waves of gentle singing in the clear bar on the other side. I like the ancient town, probably because I like this atmosphere.

The ancient town at night faded from the heat of the day and returned to a hint of coolness. The breeze blew across the creek, blowing on the face, and the refreshing taste surrounded him. At this moment, walking by the river should be the most comfortable time of the day.

Although there are many auras on her head: the top thousand towns in the country, the civilized towns in Zhejiang Province, the top 100 towns in Zhejiang Province with comprehensive strength, the top ten historical and cultural towns in Zhejiang Province, the top ten towns in Hangzhou for economic development, and the national loquat origin protection town… …But she is still that simple and ancient town, warming the years of history with her own softness. So have you been to Tangxi Ancient Town in Hangzhou? Do you know which niche ancient towns are still hidden in Hangzhou? Welcome to leave a message and express your opinion.

This is the information emphasized by Deputy Minister of Construction Nguyen Van Sinh during the meeting to provide information to a number of press agencies about the situation of land fever, virtual land fever in some localities in recent years.

There are many “risks” in real estate transactions

Deputy Minister Nguyen Van Sinh said that in the first quarter of 2021, the real estate market had many fluctuations, although the volume of real estate transactions under the supervision of the Ministry of Construction, was only about 70% of the transactions in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Real estate prices increased slightly, especially apartments also increased from 5% to 10%. In particular, land prices have had a hot, local phenomenon in some localities across the country such as areas around Hanoi, Quang Ninh, Hai Phong, Bac Ninh, Bac Giang, Hoa Binh, Phu Tho, Ho Chi Minh City, Dong Nai. , Binh Duong, Binh Phuoc, Binh Thuan …

Many people leave their jobs and production to trade land, creating local land fever phenomenon and risks affecting socio-economic development in the area.

It is worrying that many real estate transactions have emerged problems affecting the interests of people, especially real estate transactions with ineligible legal conditions.

“That is a situation that many projects that have not invested in technical infrastructure have real estate transactions; Many transactions took place with forest land, agricultural land, production and business land that has not been used for investment in real estate projects. It can be said that these transactions do not guarantee legal requirements, potential risks for people when investing in real estate in the past time, “Deputy Minister Nguyen Van Sinh warned.

Five causes of land fever – virtual land fever

According to Deputy Minister of Construction Nguyen Van Sinh, in recent years, most localities have been very active in preparing provincial planning according to the provisions of the Law on Planning 2017. At the same time, localities are also interested in the planning investment and development of urban projects, housing projects, and large-scale technical infrastructure projects. Urban upgrading is also happening synchronously.

Second, due to the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, the bank interest rates, including those at commercial banks, are very low. This investment channel is not attractive to people to send money. Therefore, at present, many investors and people with idle money tend to invest in real estate transactions because they think that this transaction is safe, effective and has opportunities for the future.

The third reason, according to Deputy Minister Nguyen Van Sinh, in recent years, the investment in the development of housing, real estate and urban projects has also faced many difficulties, especially legal procedures. Land management, investment and construction are still difficult, leading to a limited supply of real estate.

Next is the investment and development of affordable commercial housing, social housing, for the poor in urban areas as well as workers in industrial zones that have not been given adequate attention by localities. leading to a lack of social housing supply, not meeting the needs and needs of the current people.

Fifth, now some localities have had a policy of increasing land prices according to the roadmap with an increase of 15-20%. Although this land price increase has not affected much real estate transactions today, because real estate transactions have now been allocated land and invested in the past, but the policy of increasing land prices has affected. affecting psychology and the increase in real estate prices in recent times.

Transparency about planning and implementation progress of projects

Deputy Minister Nguyen Van Sinh said that over the past time, the Government and the Prime Minister have focused on directing ministries and localities to drastically step in and take specific solutions to prevent and strictly deal with the phenomenon. virtual land fever in some localities.

Specifically, focus on building and perfecting the legal system related to land, real estate investment, construction and trading to remove difficulties, especially in terms of investment order and procedures.

The Government has submitted and approved by the National Assembly the amended Investment Law, the amended Construction Law, the decrees have also been issued by the Government such as the Decree guiding the Construction Law, the Decree guiding the Investment Law; Amended Decrees related to the Decree on management and development of housing projects and guide the Housing Law and the Decree on social housing development.

Along with that, the Government has also instructed the State Bank of Vietnam to better control credit, especially credit in real estate, to avoid “double risks” in this area.

At the same time, to direct localities to focus on investment in developing social housing, cheap commercial housing to meet the housing needs of people, especially workers in industrial zones.

For localities, Deputy Minister of Construction Nguyen Van Sinh suggested that in the coming time, focus on completing and approving planning projects, paying attention to urban development projects, housing projects. ensure synchronous technical infrastructure, social infrastructure and full legal status for real estate projects, control real estate transactions to ensure demand.

Continuing to make public information about the planning and implementation progress of projects in order to make information transparent, prevent the spread of rumors, speculation to push prices and profit from a number of projects that have occurred. out in the past.

In addition, there should be strict measures to prevent the transfer of land use rights, division of plots, sale of land in some areas that have not yet been allowed to invest. Deputy Minister of Construction Nguyen Van Sinh proposed to manage and control the purchase and sale of real estate transactions many times to better control the increase in land prices, especially through management measures. very good organizations and individuals in real estate transactions and brokerage.

At the same time, it is suggested that localities in the coming time strengthen the inspection, examination and strictly handle cases of real estate investment and trading in contravention of regulations, especially ghost projects, projects are not enough. Legal documents, real estate business conditions.

For real estate businesses, it is necessary to strictly comply with the investment order and procedures, especially the procedures for land allocation and construction investment, so that real estate investment and business projects are fully fully legal, complying with regulations on construction investment in real estate projects.

In the coming time, businesses need to pay attention to invest in real estate and housing projects to ensure synchronous technical infrastructure, social infrastructure, legal status and do business, business transactions. to trade real estate in accordance with law.
