The project represents an investment of 22.000 billion yuan (3.353 million dollars), according to a statement from the group, which hopes to attract more than 10 million visitors per year.

Versus "invasion" of foreign cultures, "we want to be a model (...) and affirm the strength of the influence of the Chinese in the cultural field," said the founder of Wanda in the opening ceremony of the park, according CCTV state television reported.

A week earlier, Wang - China's richest man according to Forbes magazine - had openly appointed his adversary: ​​the US giant Disney entertainment, which will open in mid-June in Shanghai its first park in mainland China, after an investment of 5,500 million dollars.

- Tiger against Wolves -

Wanda wants to compete with Disneyland with alternatives "local color". After Nanchang, the Chinese group plans to build six more parks in China, in medium-sized cities in the next three years and reach 15 by 2020.

"We want to act so that Disney can not be profitable in this sector (of amusement parks) in China in 10 or 20 years," Wang Jianlin insisted.

"A tiger can not fight a horde of wolves," he said in the interview, before castigating the trend of Disney to "clone its products in the past without innovating".

He also criticized the climate of Shanghai ( "too rainy in summer") and high prices of the entrance to Disneyland: up to 499 yuan (68 dollars), double the price for access "Wanda City" Nanchang.

In fact, the prices charged by Disney have been criticized by Chinese netizens on Weibo microblog platform.

However, Wanda goals seem very ambitious, according to experts, who criticize the lack of experience of the Chinese group.

Otherwise the US group, which is based on the franchise of its popular theme parks. The Shanghai Disneyland park will be the sixth group, and the fourth built abroad, after Paris, Tokyo and Hong Kong.

In China, Disney will build on its franchises and its characters, very famous in this country, to seduce a rapidly expanding middle class in a country where he performs an increasing part of their film revenue.

Disney is not the only company that wants to establish itself in the lucrative Chinese leisure market. Hollywood studios Universal Pictures and DreamWorks also have plans to build theme parks in the country.

"Disney gets significant revenue from the rights of his films. The benefits of their parks are actually quite low," said China Securities, in a note cited by Bloomberg. "It is precisely the intellectual property which lacks the Chinese promoters".

Global warming is shifting the North Pole to Europe

Top image: red places on Earth that have won mass between 2005 and 2001 in blue those who have shown Missed or.

A study recently published in Science Advances suggests that climate change is affecting the planet in ways we could not even imagine. The authors of this study, Surendra Adhikari and Erik R. Ivins (both NASA JPL), believe that the mass redistribution of the melting icecaps created in the oceans, is causing the North Pole has begun to move east, towards Europe .

Advance the north pole toward us at full speed? No, the truth is we do not talk about anything worrying. According to Surendra Adhikari , the current rate at which migrates the pole is 10 centimeters per year . Or at least that it has happened since 2000 to the present, and again we are the culprits. Speaking of Adhikari to National Geographic : "What we have shown is that the ice melted and a pattern contienental water storage, are combining to cause a drastic move in the direction of the pole."

As you know, the axis of rotation of any body in space may change if gravitationally is influenced by something, or mass distribution varies. 3,500 million years ago, our neighbour planet Mars, suffered a severe case of variation of the rotational axis, which reached a whopping 20 degrees, when a huge volcano erupted. Now is the Earth that undergoes its own axial alteration , although fortunately we not speak something so huge and sudden as what happened on the red planet.

The most expensive cities in the world

More than 20 euros for a bottle of wine corrientito , nearly 10 for a pack of snuff and three for a loaf of bread of a kilo. Average prices like these have crowned - convicted, rather - Singapore as the city most expensive in the world for the third consecutive year, according to a study by the Intelligence Unit of the prestigious magazine "The Economist".

In this wealthy city-state, financial and commercial Southeast Asian epicenter, the cost of living suffered last year , its biggest drop since the 70s, but remains at head so expensive it is to buy a car and drive in its small territory. In addition, public transport cost almost three times more than in New York and is near Seoul, one of the places where better to buy clothes or pay for electricity and water. Still, last year their differences were cut with their immediate followers: Zurich, Hong Kong and Geneva , to live on bread and wine also goes for more than 30 euros.

Fifth stands Paris , which has cheapened three places by the weakness of the Euro Zone, and then follows London, which has gone up five driven by the pull of the City and the constant influx of Asian, Arab and Russian fortunes.

On the opposite end, close the table Lusaka, Zambia, as the cheapest city in the world. He was preceded Bangalore and Mumbai, in India, and then Almaty in Kazakhstan, another country shaken by the collapse of oil. Next to Algiers include Karachi, Pakistan, Chennai and New Delhi, a little cheaper than Damascus despite the war in Syria and Caracas, where shortages, the black market and rampant inflation make it almost impossible to know how much something costs .

British tourist refused entry to Thailand after using Passport as toilet paper

A woman’s holiday plans were ruined after Thai authorities refused to let her into the country - because she’d used her passport as toilet paper.
Faye Wilson had hoped to spend a month in Thailand before heading to Australia to work for a year.

But her dream quickly turned into a nightmare when Thai officials clocked the missing pages in her passport and sent her packing. Faye, 28, from the Lake District, said: “Thai immigration opened my passport and started looking through it, and asked ‘what’s happened here’?

"I just said that I had lost the pages because I was too embarrassed to explain the real reason.  "Before I could explain more, they had deported me back to Dubai and then to Glasgow and confiscated my documents.”

Shame-faced Faye was then escorted back to the UK with a security guard. But baffled Faye has used the passport up to eight times in the five years since she ripped out the pages, with her past only coming back to haunt her last month. Faye recalls:

“We were walking from one bar to the next and we must have been desperate for a wee and obviously didn’t have any toilet roll.

"We decided it would be a good idea to use my passport, which is obviously really stupid. It was maybe two or three pages. I was a bit drunk so didn’t even think about the consequences.”

Faye has applied for an emergency passport since returning home, and plans to head back out to meet the friend she left behind in Thailand. She added:

“My friend had to stay in Thailand while I was rushed back home. 

“I felt like I was a criminal - people were looking at me wondering why a border official was sat with me the whole time. I don’t know what a criminal looks like but I’m not one.”

Frustrated Faye explained that had she been told in Glasgow that she could not enter the country, she would have had it sorted right away. She said:

“I am baffled. If I was stopped and told in Glasgow, I could have just postponed my flights instead. I can’t wait to get back out there.”

Most Overrated Tourist Attractions

Yahoo Travel Asked the experts polled Reddit users, and checked TripAdvisor to see tourist attractions qui are the worst.

I remember the day I saw the Great Wall of China for the first time 10 years ago. Certainly, the main entrance was overflowing with tourists at Badaling. It was not yet the time of selfies sticks, suddenly, tons of people were going on disposable cameras and asked to every staircase along the wall. The sellers were trying to foist snow balls, magnets, balloons and stuffed animals like pandas and refreshments were disgusting and too expensive. Despite all that, the wall had a good allgreat. This wonder was beyond my expectations. It can not be said of all the tourist traps.

We all know places that we consider overrated. I was so disappointed by the Leaning Tower I warn all those who go to Italy to simply use Photoshop to get a picture of them in front of the Tower of Pisa rather than bother to take the train to get there.

The term tourist trap immediately a negative connotation, but in truth some are really charming. And others not.

Beautiful girl blogger about preconceptions about solo travelers

Alyssa Ramos is young, beautiful and travels around the world on her own. The 27-year-old American from Los Angeles, meanwhile, visited thirty two countries on six continents. A dream life, except that she is constantly spoken about the fact that she do all that traveling on her own. She is the presuppositions fed up and wrote in a blog post the top 3 of incidents that annoyed her the most.


1. I am not a prostitute

"A pretty girl, all alone in a foreign country, must be a prostitute. When I wear makeup or anything that can be seen in a dash skin - or leave a bikini - people staring at me constantly, as if I'm waiting for my next customer. It is not only annoying to hear them whisper, but it is very disappointing that a young, pretty girl can not travel just to travel. "


2. I do not travel to recover from a breakup

"While traveling after a broken relationship may well be a good idea, yet it is not the reason why I travel alone. It is noticeable that people often assume I am only go because my relationship would be stranded and I'm on the way to this process.

3. Yes, I have personally paid for this trip

Well the answer is simple: I am Alyssa and I have a job like you, but I make the choice all my money on travel spend. I have no secret sugar daddy, I never asked my parents for money, started no crowdfunding campaign and won no contest. I paid for everything. It is not because I am a beautiful girl that I am able to earn my own money and save it instead of going shopping. I even have a motto: I'd rather buy a plane ticket or a handbag .

So she flies toward Cleveland, where their relatives lives - but she never gets to see. At the passport control during transfers at the airport in Philadelphia, the teenager from Hesse, Germany city, is stopped, she can not enter so easily in the United States. The bizarre reason she finds only four hours later.

First, the student is placed in a separate waiting area, writes the "Frankfurter Rundschau". Smartphone and passport have to give to authorities, and their luggage was searched insistently. Even fingerprints she must submit, moreover, she was be photographed. Still she don't know what's going on  - until the officer who she had previously prevented from entries, finally comes back. In her hand the officer holds the phone of the 19-year-olds girl. What follows? A lot of questions.

"Do you have news in your phone, where is that your cousin, has offered you to take care of the neighbours' children, and that you told her that you have a valid driver's license and thus the children can go to school?" These detailed questions let only one suspect: The official read the Facebook messages that had previously replaced the teenage me her second cousin. Actually, it had gone into the conversation just that the 19-year-old watch from time to time on said young and the children could go to school. But it is designed her if she wanted to work in the United States in secret.

The young girl from Hessen has a tourist visa for the United States, after all, she wanted to make just a long vacation. But because of Facebook messages is assumed her that she wanted to work in reality and have it concealed the visa application - thus declared the official responsible for the visa - to be invalid, the 19-year-old girl may not enter the United States and must be returned immediately and fly back to Germany. Both the parents of the teenager and the relatives in Cleveland have now taken legal action because of the incident in which private Facebook messages have been read, also raises data protection issues.
