We had an enriching day learning about the creative industry in
exhibition and convention planning and the history of Shanghai. We went to 上海风雨筑展览有限公司 (a leading Chinese enterprise that manages numerous exhibition
within and outside China) and the Shanghai History Museum at the Oriental Pearl
Tower (东方明珠).
The MTV menu of the day is... See-Think-Wonder
Reflections from Jeamne Lin
At the上海风雨筑展览有限公司,
I see…
that there are a lot of technology uses in the museum, such as LED,
transparent screen and also touch screen.
I think…
they must have invested a lot of money in their company, as their company
have a lot of different facilities such as, gym room, basketball court, tea bar,
table tennis table as well as yoga room. And also one of the shareholder of the
company is Yao Ming, we also saw his signature on one of the walls in the
company.
I wonder…
how did the designers come out with such creative ideas using high
technology.
At the Shanghai History Museum,
I see…
a lot of wax figures in the museum. There is a lot of rich history of the
museum. For example, we saw how Shanghai undergo changes and development, how
the infrastructures have also change as the years go by, like the designs of
the buildings and how the mode of transportation has changed. And I also saw
the real Oriental Pearl Tower, it was awe-inspiring as it was really tall.
I think…
that the Oriental Pearl Tower is a good place to host the museum exhibition
as many tourists would visit the Pearl Tower, hence they will also visit the museum
there as well. I think that the staff in the museum have preserved the exhibits
well. We have learnt a lot on Shanghai history, as well as the Chinese culture.
I wonder…
how has the Chinese culture evolved over the years.
For dinner, we had the opportunity to
board the cruise that cruises us along the Huangpu River (黄浦江).
I see…
a lot of tall buildings forming the Shanghai skyline when we were taking
the cruise. Most of the buildings have LED on it, displaying messages and
advertisements. I saw that the fog situation was quite bad, as such, we can’t
really see the skyline far away when we were on the cruise.
I think…
陈董 (our Shanghai
host) had put in a lot
of effort to make arrangements for us to appreciate Shanghai in different ways.
We are very grateful for the sumptuous lunch and dinner, as well as the
opportunities to visit the two museums that were all arranged by 陈董.
I wonder…
what are the job scopes of the different staff on the cruise and what is
the maximum number of the people the cruise can hold?
Reflections from Christabel Beh
Today’s events were really great to expose ourselves to the Chinese culture
that was not found in Singapore.
The first museum we went uses technology to illustrate the different
designs that are specially designed by the famous designers.
I see…
a super cute and futuristic robot after we’ve come out from the 5D
theatre. It is orange in colour which is similar to BB-8 that knows how to
converse with human. When we ask the robot to dance the Korean dance, it
immediately played the Gangnam style song and the dance was so on point! The
movement was exactly like PSY.
I think…
that this robot is not easy to make because it requires much effort to
design the details and features.
I wonder…
what are the skills required to design the robot, how long they spend to and
how many people are required to create this robot.
At the first level of the exhibition hall,
I see…
there were a few ancient artefacts that are very special because I have
not seen them elsewhere in real life.
I think…
the museum team must have spent a lot of time and effort to have it displayed
to the visitors.
I wonder…
how they maintain the appearance and condition of the artefacts.
The last museum that we visited was the Shanghai History Museum in the
Pearl Tower is super cool because
I see…
displays and wax figures that represents people from the past, with a lot
of replica items and some real artefacts.
I think…
It requires a lot of effort and money to make the entire museum interesting
and a successful one that is able to reflect the past especially when it goes
back all the way to the 1920s.
I wonder…
if they collaborate with other companies to get the wax figures done and
how did they manage to make them look so real.
