Chinglish in famous Panda Research Center
The Chinese goverment spend a lot of effort to correctly translate the Chinese information on notice boards and road signs into English. This is to make sure that oversea tourist feel comfortable and are able to find their way around. It is anticipated that the number of tourists visiting China in 2008 will increase dramatically due to the Olympics being held in Bejing, the capital. While they may have done a decent job in Beijing and other olympic cities, it could be improve at Chengdu. Recently, on a trip to Chengdu, I visited the Panda Research Center again, a popular tourist attraction. The English information on the information boards and signs were, although not misleading, grammatically wrong. The Research Center is a must go place for tourist to Chengdu, why not change the signs as well!
“Caution, falling into water”
“To Pandas”
“Keeping Silence”
“Top One In The World”
And…. I promised my readers to post the Panda clip, here it is:

Behind The Scene
My name is Bibi Liew and I'm a third-generation oversea Chinese. I'm born on the 3rd of November and that makes me a typical Scorpio. I stayed in several countries and ended up in Shanghai for reasons that are still not entirely clear to myself... I came to China and work as an Expatriate in 2004. I am an Interior Architect and design Hotels and Club Houses in many Cities in China. Ron and I will relocate to Nanchang in March 2010 and I'll be a WAHM!
