Happy 2018! Aloha from Hawaii USA! The first broadcast of Year 2018 will feature Mr. Douglas Chong of the Hawaii Chinese History Center headquartered in Honolulu's Chinatown.
China's ancient Silk Road has captured and captivated the Western imagination for ages. In his book Religions of the Silk Road, author Richard C. Foltz observed that "it has given us images of fabled cities, exotic peoples, awe-inspiring mountains and deserts, and the death-defying feats of hardy long-distance travelers."
Chong recently returned from Western China where he retraced paths trod by travelers of all sorts for untold centuries. He will be sharing with us his impressions of what he found there -including the world-renowned Mogao Caves. Also known as the Thousand Buddha Grottoes, they form a system of 492 temples southeast of Dunhuang, an oasis strategically located at a religious and cultural crossroads on the Silk Road in China's Gansu province. This is a must-see destination for anyone traveling to China.
But that's just the beginning! You'll start off your calendar year with words of wisdom on the Confucius Moment, Treasures of China, Chinese Fun Facts, Chop Sticks and the Weekly Almanac.
But there's more! The January 1 Universal New Year we just celebrated is already but a memory.
