Shanghai Disneyland to Get E-Fastpasses by the End of the Year

That’s right, by the end of this year, Shanghai Disneyland will launch an app that will enable visitors to download an E-fastpass or premier access ticket on their phones, doing away with the need to queue in person to collect your tickets (although you can still do this if you prefer). This will be available to all guests, at no additional cost, via the park’s mobile app.
While both these tickets are valid for one day only, and cannot be transferred between guests, they allow visitors to take advantage of priority access to a selection of rides, minimizing waiting times.

The official press release states, “Once at the Disney Fastpass entrance of their selected attraction, guests can simply present the QR code on their device or park ticket for scanning. After the validation of the Fastpass and a photo identification, guests will then be able to enjoy the faster access to the fun.”
The fastpass system allows guests to plan entry times in advance for the most popular rides, in order to avoid the need to join long queues. 

The resort’s mobile app shows up-to-date waiting times for most rides, but hardcopy fastpass tickets are currently only available from three designated points within the park.

Mandarin Phrases with double meanings

图片
As language evolves, it goes without saying that meaning will alter or even completely change. This is true for all languages and Mandarin is no exception. So, let’s look at a few seemingly innocent phrases and their hidden meanings. 戴绿帽子 dai lu maozi: To wear a green hat This is an unusual concept but nonetheless very interesting. Ever wondered why you get more than the usual weird looks when you wear a green hat? During the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang made it a law for all men working in the prostitution trade to wear green hats. Later on, this green hat was used to identify a man whose wife had been unfaithful and thus, “made him wear a green hat.” This is why you will never see a Chinese person, especially a man, wearing a green hat. It infers that his wife has been unfaithful 吃软饭 chi ruan fan: To eat soft rice Literally this phrase means “to eat soft rice” but has the interpretative meaning of a man who is supported financially by a female. 飞机场 fei ji

Shanghai's 9 Most Intense Matcha Desserts

Green tea has been around since the Chinese discovered its 'awakening' effects helped them meditate back in the Tang dynasty (609-705), but it was the Zen Buddist sect of 12th Century Japan who refined it into the bright green powder you see today. They did this by growing it in the shade to produce a theanine-rich, caffeinated tea and then powdering it.  Along the way, Japanese patissiers and confectioners discovered it tastes absolutely fucking delicious in cakes, ice cream, mochi, Swiss rolls, Napoleons – pretty much everything. So when it comes to matcha desserts, you're either a part of the niche that loves them, or you haven't been enlightened yet...  Here's a list of the most matcha-y desserts you'll find in Shanghai, from one matchaphile to another. 1.

Remember !! Don't Overstaying your visa on the Chinese mainland

Don’t overstay your visa. This seems obvious, and yet we hear enough stories of people doing this that it bears repeating that this is not a good idea at all. Here’s why. The basics Although the punishments described below vary in severity, overstaying your visa at all may jeopardize any future visa applications. In most cases, you will get a written warning saying that you cannot overstay your visa again within a given period of time. There is no “grace period” Unfortunately, the rule that allowed for a ten-day grace period is no longer in operation in China. That means that you may be liable to pay a fine from the first day that you overstay your visa. I f you find yourself in this situation while trying to exit China the border officials’ reaction may be anything from giving you a telling off and letting you go, to asking a few questions, to even denying you passage until you pay a fine If you’re not on your way out of the country when you discover your situation, you

Marrying for Long-term Residence in China? Think Twice!

When you fail to meet the requirements for China's green card, marrying a Chinese person probably won't make you a Chinese citizen, but it will open certain doors with regard to visa applications. Unfortunately, not as simple as you might hope. Working only with Q visa is illegal According to the regulation, you should also be aware that getting married will not enhance your chances of getting a Z visa, also known as 'Work Visa', at all. If you're not able to find a job with a company who can secure you a work permit, the ring on your finger is not going to help you get a work visa. The one visa that marriage will help you to secure is a Q visa. The Q category is for spouses and family members and allows you to stay in China to be with your family. Note again that a Q visa does not allow you to work – working on a 'Q' visa is as illegal as working on a tourist visa. Think of it as allowing you to enter the country to begin looki
