There are many reason

BEIJING http://www.stlouisbluesteamstore.com/adidas-luke-opilka-jersey , Jan. 25 (Xinhua) -- While approaching his destination, a downtown restaurant, Jin Gen grabs his smartphone, opens an app and drives to a shopping mall basement parking zone as directed.

"With the app, I can park my car as close as possible in just a short time," he said.

Zhang, who lives in Beijing's suburban Tongzhou District, often found it difficult to park his car after driving downtown, until a friend told him about parking apps.

"The apps can instantly tell me about nearby parking zones, as well as how many open spots they have -- 'plenty,' 'few,' or 'full,'" he said.

He said some apps also offer electronic coupons to encourage people to pay their parking fees with their mobiles, which has saved him a lot of time queuing at the exit.

Dozens of parking apps, such as U-parking and ETCP, are available in Beijing.

According to China Communications and Transportation Association, there were 4 million parking spaces in Beijing as of April 2017, far fewer than the number of vehicles in the city, which is approaching 6 million.

"It's obviously not practical to build that many parking spaces given the limited land in downtown Beijing, so the key is to encourage a 'parking lot sharing' concept with the help of smartphones," said Li Xin, a Beijing political advisor.

At the ongoing first session of the 13th Beijing Municipal Committee of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Li proposed that the government offer a unified data-sharing platform for these apps, as well as preferential policies including subsidies.

"The current financing channels and embedded advertising are surely not sustainable for these apps," she said.

Zhou Zhengyu, director of the Beijing municipal commission of transport, echoed Li's view, saying a unified platform backed by the government would save users from downloading multiple apps.

Zhou, also a political advisor for Beijing, advised shopping centers, hospitals and other public institutions to open their parking venues to the public in the evening so that nearby residents could park their cars after work.

Around 1.3 million cars have no proper parking space in residential communities in Beijing, according to a recent survey conducted by the commission.

Zhou said an office building managed by a Hong Kong company had provided overnight parking services in Dongcheng District, charging them 300 yuan (47 U.S. dollars) per car per month.

"Hundreds of parking lot units have been supplied for nearby residents after work," he said.

Both Li and Zhou have advised residential communities to share their parking spaces with nearby office workers during the daytime, although residents have expressed safety concerns.

"Parking space sharing attracts strangers, putting the elderly and children back home at risk during the day," said Jin.

Zhou said technology, including facial and vehicle plate number recognition, would address the problem, and a deposit should be required from office workers to compensate for any damage caused by their cars.

The municipal legislature reviewed a draft parking regulation of the city for a third time late last year, including the terms of parking space sharing among residential areas and public institutions.

The regulation is expected to take effect this year, according to Zhou.

BEIJING, Jan. 25 (Xinhua) -- Archaeological findings have revealed Xiongan, a newly established economic zone, as an area with around 7,000 years of human history.

Xiongan, about 100 km southwest of Beijing, is the third of its kind nationally after Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and Shanghai Pudong New Area. It is expected to relieve pressure on Beijing resulting from non-capital functions, to explore a new paradigm of development in densely-populated areas and to renovate the urban layout in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.

The Cultural Relics Institute in Hebei Province on Sunday released an overview of archaeological findings in Xiongan in 2017, with 263 cultural relics found, including a large number of colored and black pottery, and ancient sites discovered, stretching from the Neolithic Age to the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1912) dynasties.

A group of architectural relics around the Nanyang relics site, an important site of the Yan state in the Zhou Dynasty (1046 B.C.-256 A.D.), were also found.

There was also an underground tunnel discovered, which was dug along the border between the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127) and the Liao Dynasty (907-1125). Its structure and function are so sophisticated that many scholars call it "the underground Great Wall."

Many fortress city sites from the Yuan (1271-1368), Ming and Qing dynasties were found in the area, during which Beijing served as the capital.

"The work we have done so far are deep-level archaeological surveys. Hopefully, they can serve as a preliminary evaluation of cultural heritage in Xiongan and provide reference to the general urban planning," said Mao Baozhong, deputy director of the Cultural Relics Institute in Hebei Province.

There are many reasons why people should employ a carpet cleaning professional. The number one reason people employ experts to clean the carpet in their home is because they want to sell them. Restoring the carpet to its original luster will improve the overall appearance of a room, which makes it more appealing to potential buyers. The depth of cleaning that a skilled service can achieve cannot be matched by using a store bought cleaner or even by renting one. The experts are familiar with what kinds of solutions give the best results on various fibers, about which most novices are not well-informed.

In addition to being familiar with the different chemical cleaners, the experts also have professionally designed and manufactured .
