This design is reminiscent of the old Chinese money. The building belongs to the Shanghai Bank and is a well recognised landmark located near the cities north train station.

Potala Palace (布达拉宫)

In 641, after marrying Princess Wencheng, Songtsen Gampo decided to build a grand palace to accommodate her and let his descendants remember the event. However, the original palace was destroyed due to a lightening strike and succeeding warfare during Landama's reign. In seventeenth century under the reign of the Fifth Dalai Lama, Potala was rebuilt. The Thirteenth Dalai Lama expanded it to today's scale. The monastery-like palace, reclining against and capping Red Hill, was the religious and political center of old Tibet and the winter palace of Dalai Lamas. The palace is more than 117 meters (384 feet) in height and 360 (1180 feet) in width, occupying a building space of 90 thousand square meters. Potala is composed of White Palace and Red Palace. The former is for secular use while the later is for religious.

Homework

Education is basically a social experience. The atmosphere is the most important thing?
Yes I agreen with that in school teacher not only teach knowledge to student but also need teach a social experience. You know, if student just study knowledge. maybe they don't know how to communication whit other people and don't know how to build relationship. If student don't have social experience and they didn't live in the world more better.
I think social experience is more important than knowledge, because maybe social experience can't bring we good lift but it can teach our how to do good thins, become a good person. If you have good knowledge but you didn't have any social experience, so it is noe good for yourself. Maybe you will solitary.

Education about Chian

In my country everyone must be start primary school e.g 6 or 7 and not less than 6 years of age. They finished primary school in 12 or 13 years old. And finished secondary school in 18 or 19 years old. In China is not all children study in secondary school, because e.g 6 to 16 is compulsory education. It's mean primary school and junior high school is compulsory education. I think in this age bracket is good for children to learning knowledge. Many people think higher education can help they know more about knowledge and find job more easily, so they finished compulsory education and go on to higher education like secondary school、university. If people want go on to higher education they have to pay money by themselves.
In my country exams and continuous assessment more common, especially in secondary school. Every week we have exams and everyday have a lot of homework. In secondary school no one is feel not very tired. I think exams is the better way of monitoring progress, because exam is finished at class, it don't check book and discuss with classmate. This is by yourself and can correct know student's performance and easy find which knowledge is the bad, which is ok.
