Changing Chongming
Have you tasted homemade cheese? Have you smelt the fragrance of the hay in the
barn? If not, take a walk from the Energy Center to the international eco-farm.
h e eco-farm is located at the North and next to the modern agricultural district.
It consists of a Sino-Italian eco-farm, a Sino-German eco-farm, a Sino-Japanese
eco-farm and Dongtan Taiwan folk Village. . . . [P]eople will be able to visit four
diff erent places: the Florentine village of the Sino-Italian eco-farm, the
picturesque architecture of the Sino-German eco-farm and the Hokkaido
buildings of the Sino-Japanese eco-farm. h ey will also experience the aboriginal
appeal of the Taiwan folk Village. . . . While appreciating this beautiful vista, as
relishing the local fruit, vegetables, locally produced sausages, cheese and beer
and hearing oral music, visitors will fi nd themselves back in the good old days of
the past, as well as in the
21st century. And all this just in Shanghai.

A foreign power has invaded. Battle and devastation are spreading their stain
ever more widely. h e innocent are dying and no one is immune from the touch
of violence.
