法華裔青年歡喜準備訪台學中文 100.06.04

（中央社巴黎4日專電）中華民國僑務委員會固定辦理華裔青年到台灣研習華語及觀摩團，法國地區報名參加人數居全歐之冠。80名法國華裔青年今天參加駐法代表處舉辦的行前說明會，學員們藉此建立聯繫網絡。

駐法代表處指出，預計今年暑假到台灣參與華語文研習班及台灣觀摩團的80個學員家庭多數有台灣經驗，或父母原籍台灣、曾在台灣就學、或曾到台灣旅遊；另外，從未造訪台灣的家庭則是得知台灣辦學認真，特地要加強孩子中文教育，送到台灣上學。

根據僑委會統計，輔導返台研習華語或參加觀摩團之法國華裔學員人數連年居全歐之冠，顯示法國華裔青年熱衷華語學習，對赴台研習中華文化有高度興趣。

駐法代表處今天為這批即將前往台灣研習的學員舉辦行前說明會，由副代表齊王德主持，簡介台灣現況，鼓勵學員好好利用訪台期間，認識台灣風土民情。年輕學員也藉這個機會相互認識，彼此建立聯繫網絡。

World's Most Underrated Cities

World's Most Underrated Cities

Sure, popular cities have their place. But if you like exploring, there's interesting stuff in the world's most underrated cities.
 
By Jennifer ChenDetroit

Welcome to the urban underdogs—cities that aren't on the radar for most travelers. Some, like Slovakia's capital of Bratislava, might be overlooked because of their proximity to better-known cities. Others, like Detroit, can't seem to live down a bad rap. But if undiscovered art scenes, experimental cuisine, great architecture, and interesting neighborhoods are on your travel checklist, then these cities deserve a second look.

For a traveler, the main appeal of these neglected cities is authenticity. "You go to the Old Town in Prague, it's mostly tourists. In Bratislava, it's all locals," says Jaroslave Vitazka, a project manager for a private equity firm who has called the city home since 2002. Or, as Phillip Cooley says about Detroit: "It's real, it's honest. You can spend the day at an urban farm, and then head off to a Tigers game or the opera, just like the locals do."

Taipei, Taiwan

In the 1980s and '90s, this city of 3 million was choked in smog. Today, Taipei is one of Asia's most pleasant capitals, with acres of green space and an easy-to-use public transport system. And there's plenty to do for outdoor enthusiasts: Yangmingshan National Park, a hot springs in Beitou, hiking trails throughout the surrounding mountains, and riverside bike paths. But the biggest draw is the cuisine. Taipei has some of the best Chinese food in the world, from humble holes-in-the-wall to culinary temples. Don't fret if you can't speak or read the lingo—friendly locals are eager to help visitors.

Don't Miss: Lan Jia Gua Bao, near the Gongguan Night Market, serves superlative gua bao, or braised pork belly buns.

動畫版清明上河圖 今起展出

【記者郭書宏台北報導】結合藝文與科技的「智慧的長河─會動的清明上河圖」大展，今起在圓山花博爭艷館展出。這幅堪稱是上海世博中國館「鎮館之寶」的「清明上河圖」電子動態版，透過現代高端技術的融合，讓九百多年前的經典名畫「動」了起來，完美地再現北宋汴京風華，可說是傳承中華文化的「現代文創展演」。
這幅「會動的清明上河圖」以北宋畫家張擇端所繪《清明上河圖》為藍本，將二十五公分高、五公尺長的原作，放大三十倍，投影在六公尺高、一百一十公尺長的巨大螢幕上，畫面日、夜景交替各兩分鐘，人物多達千人，像有腳夫趕著毛驢緩緩前行、商賈百工絡繹於途，動作各異；河上船工吹號，商家殷勤招客，聲聲入耳；夜景更有原畫中所沒有的「夜市人生」，與現代人生活更為貼近。

「智慧的長河─會動的清明上河圖」展至九月四日，在台北圓山花博爭艷館展出。資訊詳見官網：http://river.ishow.gmg.tw/。

Highlight: River of Wisdom

Taipei Times Fri, Jul 29, 2011
By Lin King  /  Contributing Reporter

After debuting at the Expo 2010 Shanghai China (2010上海世界博覽會) and traveling to Hong Kong and Macau, an animated version of the Song Dynasty painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival (清明上河圖), by 12th-century artist Zhang Zeduan (張澤端), is on show in Taipei. The 25cm by 529cm original is a panoramic portrayal of everyday life in Bianjing (汴京), today’s Kaifeng (開封), the capital of China during the Song Dynasty. Despite its name, the scroll depicts the architecture and scenery of the period and the apparel and activities of the rich and poor, not the rituals of the Qingming Festival (清明節), otherwise known as Tomb Sweeping Festival. Thirty times larger than the original painting, the animated version, which is titled River of Wisdom, is beamed onto a 6m by 110m screen by 12 projectors. The entire work was digitalized by Crystal CG (水晶石數字科技公司) and its subjects and backdrops move and make sounds. There are two versions of the animation that alternate every two minutes: day (691 animated people) and night (377 animated people). Also on display are life-size replicas of the original painting, a Ming Dynasty copy by Qiu Ying (仇英), and a more extravagant 1736 version known as the Qingyuan copy (清院本), commissioned by the Qing court. The original work is stored at the Palace Museum in Beijing.

■ River of Wisdom, 9am to 9pm Mondays to Saturdays, 9am to 6pm on Sundays at Taipei International Flora Exposition EXPO Dome (台北花博爭艷館), 1 Yumen St, Taipei City (台北市玉門街1號) until Sept. 4

■ Tickets are NT$220, available at convenience stores through 7-Eleven ibon, FamilyMart (全家) FamiPort, Hi-Life (萊爾富) Life-ET, and OK Mart OK go kiosks and online at tickets.books.com.tw
