...best jazz and blues bar. But it gets its name from the fact that it held ice for the imperial family's exclusive use during the Qing dynasty (1644-1911). Every winter, ice was collected from the city moat at Dongzhimen and hauled to the Icehouse, filling the 400-sq-m interior. The walls were sufficiently impervious to the elements for the ice to remain there, unthawed, all year round. But while it was once consecrated to the pleasures of the privileged, the Icehouse is now enjoyed by many. And it's no longer a place to cool off. Instead...
...very similar. Over 7.8 million trees have been planted in the past three years. Extensive urban-greening master plans are drawn up for all busy districts in addition to existing highway planting and slope coverage. Our country parks occupy nearly 40% of a total land area of 1,000 sq km and are located just 45 minutes beyond the concrete jungle. I would invite you to write about our Shing Mun River, which has been reincarnated recently from a dead nullah into a living river, sustaining its own course happily while allowing humans to enjoy it-not to abuse...

...Champs Elysées has been attracting thousands of visitors every day since it reopened last October. But last week, a Paris tribunal [an error occurred while processing this directive] ruled that the luxury-goods firm has been breaking the law by opening its huge, 1,800-sq-m emporium on Sundays, one of its most heavily trafficked days. Although much Sunday trading is banned in France, Louis Vuitton had received an exemption from the Paris prefect by arguing that the store was a cultural landmark, not just a commercial one. But the tribunal upheld a complaint brought...
