Pollet, and Sivakumar Pasupathi Abstract: The recent trend at HySA Systems Competence Centre is toward developing HT-PEMFC-based combined heat and power (CHP) systems in the range of 1–2 kWe fueled by natural gas. The main scope is to develop internationally competitive components, specifically membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) and stacks for the CHP. MEA is the core of PEMFC, and detailed understanding of the MEA is necessary to improve the durability and reduce the overall cost of the fuel cell. Therefore, a series of works on MEA fabrication were conducted in HySA systems, including the investigation of different catalyst layer fabricating technologies, the optimization of CL structure and properties, aims to improve the MEA performance, the Pt utilization, durability and reproducibility. The results revealed the feasibility of our MEAs for long-term HT-PEMFC operation. Presenter: Mujammil Asdhiyoga Rahmanta From: Research Institute of State-Owned Electricity Company of Indonesia, Indonesia Title: Application of Rotary Drum Dryer at Ombilin Coal Fired Power Plant CEEPE2015-105E 10:50-11:00 Authors: Mujammil Asdhiyoga Rahmanta and Muhammad Iqbal Felani Abstract: PLN as State-Owned Company of Indonesia has 10.000 MW fast track projects of Coal Fired Power Plant (CFPP) which is designed for using Medium Rank Coal (MRC). PLN has not got MRC due to government policy of trading of coal. While Indonesia has a lot of Low Rank Coal (LRC) reserves nowadays. Ombilin CFPP 2X100 MW has used rotary drum dryer to increase High Heating Value (HHV) of LRC by reducing total moisture of water in coal. Rotary drum dryer uses flue gas from its furnace as heat source. Rotating test in various speeds is used to know the characteristic product (fixed carbon, total moisture, and HHV) of rotary drum dryer at Ombilin CFPP. The temperature of flue gas (heat source), the type of coal input, and the other operation parameters are maintained approximately constant when speed is adjusted. 8 Presenter: Wenjie Chen From: Xi’an Jiaotong University, China CEEPE2015-107E 11:00-11:10 Title: Project Based Approach in Teaching Analog Circuit Design for Undergraduate Students Authors: Wenjie Chen and Feng Zhang Abstract: This paper discusses the use of project based approach to improve the quality of teaching/learning for analog circuit design. The proposed methodology has been applied in several electrical engineering courses. The method allows students to better understand some complex circuit and physical-level phenomena, by describing them at a higher abstraction level. In addition to enhance their understanding of design problems and skills, students become more motivated and satisfied. As an application, a case study is considered in this work: a square wave and triangular wave generator. Presenter: Jiao He From: Zhejiang University, China CEEPE2015-201E 11:10-11:20 Title: Relay Protection of Transmission Line in the Micro-grid based on Frequency Modulation Authors: Yifei Xu, Huan Ma, Jiao He, and Dehua Zhang Abstract: In recent years, the development of the micro-grid technology is promoted rapidly. In this paper, considering the fault characteristics of the micro-grid and the insufficiency of micro-grid relay protection, relay protection of transmission line applied in the micro-grid based on frequency modulation is proposed firstly. Then, differences between the micro-grid relay protection and the traditional one are introduced. After that, the operational principle and the whole working process of the frequency modulation are analyzed. Finally, by simulation and experiments, the novel proposed frequency modulation method is proved correct and practical. Presenter: Seok-Keun Koh From: GL Materials Inc., Korea CEEPE2015-204E 11:20-11:30 Title: Metal Nano Particles Formation on Rotating Powder (NPP) Substrate in Physical Vapor Deposition Authors: Seok-Keun Koh, Charles Lee, Jung Hwan Lee, Byung Kwuan Kang, Hiroyuki Kaji, Motohiko Hayash, and Wan-Ho Cho Abstract: Nano-sized (2~10 nm) metal particles were formed and accumulated on a rotating powders substrate by conventional physical vapor deposition (PVD) process. Sucrose was selected as a supporter for the nano-particles on powder (NPP) process. Nuclei, which were formed on the substrate from vaporized or sputtered metal atoms 9 at an initial thin film growth, did not grow up to coalescence stage and did not agglomerate each other when the powder in the vessel was continuously circulated during the deposition. Size of the nanoparticles is controlled by the physical parameters such as metal evaporation rate, rotation speed of the powder, selection of the powder in the PVD. Formation mechanism of nano-particles on the carrier powder have been explained in terms of thermodynamics with TEM, SEM, EDX, UV spectroscopy, etc. comparing with conventional thin film growth in PVD. Presenter: Helal Al-Hamadi From: Kuwait University, Kuwait Title: Parameters Identification of Photovoltaic Module Using Nonlinear Mathematical Programming Authors: Helal Al-Hamadi CEEPE2015-205E 11:30-11:40 Abstract: In this paper, the parameters of a PV module are estimated using mathematical programming based approach. The PV module consists of an array of solar cells used to model the current-voltage characteristics of the solar module. The model is represented as a non-linear function that relating the module current and voltage with some parameters to be estimated. No direct general analytical solution exists for such function. Given the input-output characteristic data of the solar module, a mathematical programming technique is used to solve a set of transcendental equations to optimally estimate the solar module parameters. Finally, the proposed model and technique is validated using experimental data to estimate the module parameters. Presenter: Yuri Vorobiev From: CINVESTAV-IPN, Unidad Queretaro, MEXICO Title: New Principles in Design and Technology of Multi-Junction Solar Energy Converters CEEPE2015-307E 11:40-11:50 Authors: CHÁVEZ-URBIOLA Iker, VOROBIEV Yuri, RAMIREZ-BON Rafael Abstract: The multi-junction solar energy converters can be made cheap and efficient, if some new principles are applied for their design. We propose to make each p-n junction of the converter electrically independent with its own contacts. It eliminates obligatory series connection of the junctions, and allows using wide variety of electrical schemes, of “p” and “n” layers sequence, as well as of materials used. In particular, cheaper II-VI semiconductors can be used instead of III-V ones, with essentially simpler and cheaper technologies, such as Chemical Bath Deposition (CBD), Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and their combination. Several structures were created to illustrate the principles stated, and the results of their characterization are presented. Presenter: Prayad Boonkham From: Thammasat university, Thailand CEEPE2015-308E 11:50-12:00 Title: Decomposition analysis of changes in energy intensity of the Thai manufacturing sector during 1991–2013 Authors: Prayad Boonkham and Nopbhorn Leeprechanon Abstract: This paper analyzes changes in energy intensity in the manufacturing sector in Thailand during 1991–2013, using the logarithmic mean Divisia index in 10 multiplicative form. Results show that energy intensity in the manufacturing sector improved during this 22-year period, especially in the food & beverage, chemical, and unclassified sub-sectors; sub-sectors that did not show improvements were the fabricated metal, wood & furniture, textile, paper, non-metallic metal, and basic metal sub-sectors. Computational results show that energy consumption in the manufacturing sector increased significantly during 1991–2013 mainly on account of production effects, but that structural effects and intensity effects contributed only marginally to changes in energy consumption. The findings imply the need to balance restructuring policies within the manufacturing sector with efforts to reduce energy intensity, so as to attain sustainable economic development and improvements in energy efficiency, in accordance with Thailand’s long-term energy efficiency goals. Presenter: ZhaoJun MENG From: Nanjing NARI Group Corporation, China CEEPE2015-309E 12:00-12:10 Title: An Equivalent Condition Score Method for the Calculation of the Failure Rate for Power Transmission Equipment with Condition Maintenance Authors: Z. J. Meng, X.X. Zhu, and X.F. Song Abstract: In this paper,we propose a new method, namely equivalent condition score (CS) method, to calculate the failure rate of power transmission equipment with condition maintenance. Through the conversion of the CS evaluated after maintenance, we can investigate the effect of maintenance on the failure rate, and then calculate the failure rate of the equipment. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by field maintenance data. As shown in this paper, the equivalent CS method has a simplified calculation process and specific physical meaning. Presenter: Yexu Li From: Nanjing NARI Group Corporation, China Title: Grounding of Urban GIS Substation Connected to Commercial Buildings and Metallic Infrastructures Authors: Zhang Jinsong, Qian Feng, Guo Bing, Yexu Li, and Farid Dawalibi CEEPE2015-312E 12:10-12:20 Abstract: This paper examines various aspects of the design process of an urban Gas insulate Switchgear (GIS) complex substation grounding system. The study shows how advanced simulation approaches can be used to study complex grounding systems involving gas-insulated substations and massive connected metallic infrastructure in an urban environment by following the IEEE 80-2000 recommendations and requirements. It describes why it is important to model accurately the GIS structure, ground conductors, massive reinforced steel rebar, residential neutrals, surrounding commercial buildings and residential water pipe infrastructures as well as correctly simulate fault currents and circulating currents in order to determine touch voltages accurately and avoid overestimating or underestimating them. A parametric sensitivity analysis are performed. It is shown that bonding of an urban substation grounding system to the urban city buried metallic infrastructures, in most cases, enhances the safety status inside the substation 11 while ensuring that the transferred voltages to the city metallic infrastructures will not endanger the safety of people in the zone of influence. Furthermore, this paper suggests that the grounding grid installed beneath the GIS system does not have a major influence on the grounding grid or GIS performance. However, the method of bonding the GIS to the rebar or to the grounding system can significantly modify the building and GIS safety status. Finally, the paper demonstrates that the urban substation grounding grid performance is not very sensitive to the type of soil structures in which the system is buried due to the surrounding city buried metallic network and building rebar which are typically directly or indirectly connected to the grounding system providing thus a significant damper on the effects of soil characteristics changes. Presenter: Fanxin Zeng From: Chongqing Communication Institute, China Title: Advances on 8-QAM+ Sequences CEEPE2015-313 12:20-12:30 Authors: Fanxin Zeng and Zhenyu Zhang Abstract: In communications, 8-QAM+ signals have a large number of their own advantages in comparison with other signals.

M2015-217 14:10-14:20 13 Presenter: Ful-Chiang Wu From: Vanung University, Taiwan Title: Robust Design of Mixing Continuous-Continuous and Continuous-Digital Type Dynamic Systems Authors: Ful-Chiang Wu Abstract: Robust design aims to reduce the impact of noise on the product or process quality and leads to greater customer satisfaction and higher operational performance. The objective of robust design is to minimize the total quality loss in products or processes. This paper resolves the relationship between the quality loss function and the SN ratio. According to definitions of the quality loss function and SN ratio, the average SN ratio for a factor level can be transformed into a PQL value. The PQL model proposed by this study simultaneously optimizes the continuous-continuous and continuous-digital dynamic systems by minimizing the total quality loss. Using the proposed method and steps for optimization, the method addresses such problem to improve the product quality. Presenter: Uram Jeong From: Chungbuk National University, Korea Title: GPU & CPU Based Genome Assembly Using K-mer Extension Authors: Uram Jeong, SangHo Kim, Kyung Hee Lee, Wan-Sup Cho M2015-218 14:20-14:30 Abstract: The technology of GPGPU is gaining more and more attention in fields where complicated computation is needed, such as bio engineering or cryptology. GPGPU is a technology which utilizes the GPU that is originally intended to perform graphic computation for general computation normally processed by CPUs. GPGPU can be expected to boost the performance of the system when executing programs that are highly parallel. However, such computation using GPGPU require data duplication between the Host domain and the Device domain. This process may result in a bottleneck within the system. Consequently, processing of data below a certain threshold level may negatively affect the performance of the system. In this study, therefore, we conducted the K-mer computation using the CPU and the GPU concurrently in order to minimize the system bottleneck as the data is duplicated between the Device domain and the Host domain. As a result, the computation performance was enhanced up to 1.5 times for K-mer using both the CPU and the GPU compared to using a GPU alone for the job. Presenter: Hong Wang From: Institute of System Engineering, China Academy of Engineering Physics, China Title: The Use of Information Classification and Coding Authors: Hong Wang M2015-017E 14:30-14:40 Abstract: With the growing availability resources on web, in order to manage various forms of textual data, we need new methods such as text mining, machine learning and natural language to make the information processing more effective. These methods needs information to be classified and coded correctly before they can use, so the task of classification and coding plays a key role in information organization. This overview focused on the existing techniques and methods for information classification and coding, and give a method by the author, in the end , a example was given. 14 Presenter: Ali Mustofa From: State University of Surabaya, Indonesia Title: The Successful Implementation of E-Budgeting in Public University: A Study at Individual Level Authors: Purwohandoko, Sanaji, Ali Mustofa M2015-018E 14:40-14:50 Abstract: This study aims at investigating the relationship of organizational support, supervisor support, and user prior experience on the implementation of successful e-budgeting, that mediated perceived ease of use (PEoU) and perceived usefulness (PU) of TAM. A survey from thirty five (35) users of e-budgeting indicated that supervisor support gave the most contribution on the success of the program. Finally, user satisfaction, user commitment, and user performance were positively influenced by PEoU and PU. Presenter: Hongsheng Sun From: Tsinghua University, China Title: Joint Carrier Phase Estimation and Decoding Algorithm Based on Tikhonov Approximation in Frequency-hopping Communications CEEPE2015-305E 14:50-15:00 Authors: Hongsheng Sun, Zuyao Ni, Linling Kuang, Xiaokang Lin, Yue Yin, and Sheng Wu Abstract: This paper considers the problem of carrier phase estimation for a frequency-hopping system modulated by M-array phase shift keying. A low computational complexity iterative joint carrier phase estimation and decoding algorithm is proposed. The message concerning the carrier phase is approximated into a mixture of Tikhonov distributions. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the discrete phase algorithm slightly, and outperforms the class of nonlinear monomial estimation algorithms considerably, while the computational complexity of the proposed algorithm is much lower than that of the discrete phase algorithm. It may be concluded that the proposed algorithm is more suitable for a DSP or FPGA implementation in coherent PSK-Modulated frequency-hopping communications.

Given the relevance of the topic, the purpose of this study was aimed to explore the usefulness of supply chain technology (SCT) adoption in Malaysian textile and apparel (T&A) industry. The nature of this industry is characterized as a huge dynamic flow of physical, information, and financial. Undoubtedly, to handle the delicate nature of this business, the position of SCT has increased not only in the manufacturing sector, but also in smooth movement of upstream and downstream of the supply chain. Thus, the understanding and practicing of SCT adoption has become a crucial prerequisite for keeping competitive in the global race. Even though technology is widely implemented and studied in many industries and countries by researchers, but the study of adoption of SCT in Malaysian T&A industry is insufficient. In view of the significance given to Third Industrial Master Plan by the government Malaysia, it is necessary to recognize the stimulus of SCT adoptions. The results suggest and highlight the extent of SCT adoption and the benefits perceived by T&A companies from SCTs. This study believed that SCT adoption could be beneficial to both internal and external supply chains. The result of this study could be used as a precursor to support future researchers in further investigation on this extent. Presenter: Aliza Abdul Latif From: Universiti Tenaga Nasional, Malaysia.

However, real-world databases contain noise and frequent pattern mining which extracts patterns that are absolutely matched is not enough. Therefore, a research field called fault-tolerant frequent pattern (FT-pattern) mining is proposed to deal with this problem. In this paper, we consider the problem of mining proportional FT-patterns. That is, the number of faults tolerable in a pattern is proportional to the length of the pattern. To reduce the disk I/O times, a depth-first mining approach is proposed to mine proportional FT-patterns efficiently in large database. Moreover, a set of experiments is performed to show the advantage of the approach. Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm outperforms the other existing approach when the database size is large. Presenter: Mohamad Ghozali Hassan From: Universiti Utara Malaysia, Malaysia Title: A Preliminary Insight on Issues and Practices of GSCM to Achieve Sustainable Performance Authors: Mohamad Ghozali Hassan, Rahimi Abidin, Norani Nordin, Rushami Zien Yusoff M2015-212 16:40-16:50 Abstract: Green supply chain management (GSCM) continues to be an important research agenda among the researchers. However, there are still limited studies to investigate GSCM practices and its implementation especially in Malaysia context. Since green issues are new and still developing in Malaysia, constant study is needed to fully understand and update information regarding this area. Firms in developing countries like Malaysia are still in the learning process on how to incorporate the green supply chain management practices in their daily operations. Therefore, this conceptual paper is intended to provide insights on the implementation and practices of GSCM, especially on its relation to the integration mechanisms. This paper is expected to provide a thorough review on the interdependent relationship of GSCM practices and supply chain integration towards sustainable performance. It is hoped that this conceptual paper would be useful in helping manufacturing firms to identify an effective approach towards successful green supply chain practices that contribute to sustainable performance. M2015-216 16:50-17:00 Presenter: Fuh-Der Chou From: Chien Hsin University, Taiwan Title: A Mixed Integer Programming Method for the Health Examination Center Scheduling Problems with Sequence-dependent Transportation Time 19 Authors: Hui-Mei Wang, Fuh-Der Chou Abstract: This paper considers the health examination centerscheduling problem. In the center, there are three major health examination services including (1) Physical examination (PE); (2) Organ system checks; (3) Organ structural inspection,with a variety of check-up items. Additionally, the order of these check-up itemsdone is irrelevant, but all check-up items in the contract should be finished for individual examinee. Each examinee expects that they could finish smoothly all items without waiting. According the operative characteristics, the health examination centerscheduling problem is analogous to a multiprocessor open shop scheduling problem with sequence-dependent transportation time, and the objective is to minimize the mean flow time. To our best knowledge, the problem is first proposed. A mixed integer programming method is introduced to specify the problem systematically, and in the end, an example with 9 examinees is used to validate the proposed model successfully.

Title: Research on the Condition for Balanced Operation of the Single-phase Induction Motor with Three Parallel-connected Windings Authors: Liangfeng Guo, Nannan Gao, Ying Pei, and Hongbo li CEEPE2015-203 Abstract: In this paper, a novel energy-efficient single-phase induction motor with three parallel-connected stator windings and two external capacitors has been proposed. By selecting the appropriate capacitors, the currents in the three windings will be approximately symmetric at rated load, thus high rated efficiency can be obtained. The condition for balanced operation is analyzed and the method for determining the requested capacitances is also obtained, based on the symmetrical component method. It is concluded that, in comparison with three-phase induction motors of the same capacity, the novel single-phase induction motor has nearly the same efficiency but higher power factor when operating at rated load. Title: Probabilistic Spinning Reserve Model of Power System Containing Wind Authors: Ningning Cui, Zhenan Zhang, Wei Liu, Yang Zhang, Qiang Li CEEPE2015-301 CEEPE2015-302 Abstract: In order to reflect the influences of the stochastic uncertain of wind power on the optimal decision-making of the power system spinning reserve, a probabilistic optimization model of the spinning reserve is proposed. Considering uncertain factors such as predicted-deviation of wind, predicted-deviation of load and fault outage of generator, the capacity outage probability table is combined with predicted-deviation of wind and predicted-deviation of load. By introducing the analytic expressed probability reserve constraints into the unit commitment model considering the wind power, the spinning reserve of power system can be optimized to the expectable contingency level. Using a calculation example, the effectiveness of the model is proved, providing a new model for uncertainty analysis and optimal scheduling decisions of power system containing wind. Title: Flood Disaster Risk Assessment Based on the Systematology and Evidence Theory Authors: Yufeng Ren, Rong Gan, Guodong Liu, Bing Xing Abstract: The utilization efficiency of water energy is decreased by frequently 22 occurring floods in China, and it is important to assess the risk of floods which also leads to huge property losses and casualties. In this paper, floods is considered as the hierarchical and high-dimensional system based on the systematology, and the evidence theory is applied to assess the flood hazard risk due to its ability in multisource information fusing and the uncertainty processing. The basic probability function in the evidence theory is established by variable fuzzy sets model. This coupled model is then employed to assess the flood risk levels in eastern Sichuan as it is a densely populated and flood-prone area and has substantial amounts of hydropower resource. Thus the floods system established by systematology contained 4 layers, decision layer, evidence layer, sub-system layer and index layers. As a result, the floods risk in the study area was high and the whole area can be divided into several blocks. Generally speaking, the risk levels were higher in the central and western area, but lower in the east. It was shown that the evaluation result was reasonable and reliable through the validation. In addition, more decision fusion theories will be introduced into the floods management and the further flood effect on the exploitation of water energy will be studied in the future research.

Title: Analysis of Maturity Matching Principle of Trade Credit during 2008 Financial Crises: A Panel Data Approach Authors: Jaleel Ahmed, Hui Xiaofeng, Ghulam Mujtaba Kayani and Jaweria Khalid M2015-011E Abstract: This research paper tries to investigate that whether non-financial firms in Pakistan finance their short term assets with short term liabilities. Two ways has been adopted to investigate this matching principle first, matching in volume and second matching in maturity. Data from 2005 to 2011 has been used to analyze matching principle. After applying a panel data technique generalized method of moments (GMM) we have found that in normal days (days other than financial crisis) non-financial firms in Pakistan do not match volume of trade credit but try to match trade credit in maturity. When we try to note matching principle during 2008 financial crisis then we find that non-financial firms in Pakistan match trade credit in volume as well as in maturity. Title: Volatility Transmission Between the Stock Market and the Index Futures in China M2015-019E Authors: Chaoyou Wang, Yuanyuan Guo Abstract: This paper employs the multivariate GARCH models to investigate the volatility transmission between the stock market and the index futures market in China. The daily returns of the latest four years are tested. Three different 24 multivariate GARCH models (BEKK, CCC and DVEC) are estimated and compared. The BEKK model works best and is able to capture the bidirectional transmission. The conditional correlations are close to 1 for most of the time, which shows the strong linkage of the two prices. In addition, we find the variance of the futures is larger than the spot market. Above results indicate the futures perform better compared to its earlier stage. The information transmission between the two markets proves that the futures’ ability in price discovery. Title: Predicting the Future of the Palestine Bank after Financial Crisis and the Israeli Aggression on Gaza; Using CAMELS Rating System Authors: Ahmed N. K. Alfarra, Hui Xiaofeng and Jaleel Ahmed M2015-012 Abstract: In the economics and social context, the banks are playing a very significant role since banking sector is considered a main element to strengthening confidence in the state's policies and caring for the economic interests. The Palestine bank is largest bank in the Palestinian banking sector, therefore we investigated the Palestine bank ability to face any financial crisis especially after the world financial crisis in 2008 and the last aggression on Gazain 2013 addition the bad condition in west bank. For this reason we have investigated the Palestine bank by analysing its financial of last five years from 2009 till 2013 using CAMELS rating system.

In Pingle the Li River merges with the Lipu River and the Gongcheng River and continues south as the Gui River, which falls into the Xi Jiang, the western tributary of the Pearl River, in Wuzhou. The upper course of the River Li is connected by the ancient Lingqu Canal with the Xiang River, which flows north into the Yangtze; this in the past made the Li and Gui Rivers part of a highly important waterway connecting the Yangtze Valley with the Pearl River Delta. The 437-kilometre (272 mi) course of the Li and Gui Rivers is flanked by green hills. Cormorant fishing is often associated with the Lijiang (see bird intelligence). Its unusual karst topography hillsides have often been compared to those at Halong Bay, Vietnam. Tourist cruises in different boats (varying from small bamboo rafts to larger, air-conditioned ships) are offered on the Li River throughout the year and are one of the major attractions of Guilin. Big Banyan Tree【大榕树】 Six kilometers (about 3.7 miles) away from the County of Yangshuo, you will find a prominent and towering tree: the Big Banyan Tree. It has survived wind and rain over centuries since it was planted during the Sui Dynasty (581-618). It is also famous because the Chinese film 'The Third Sister Liu' was partly shot here. Thus a beautiful love story adds to the magic of this centuries-old tree. This tree, measuring 7 meters (about 23 feet) in width and 17 meters (about 55.8 feet) in height has experienced extensive growth over the years. Although its stem is very old and its roots twist, its branches and leaves stretch out so lushly that the sunshine hardly penetrates its shadow. Sitting in its shadow on even the hottest day of the summer, you barely break out in a sweat. It is under this tree that The Third Sister Liu declared her admiration to her lover The A'niu. Moon River 【月亮山】 Moon hill is short distance Township, near Guilin. It is a hole in its center, and you walk mountain path to reach it. At the new moon to a full moon. by 410 m (length) by 220 m from Fenglou village, Gaotian huge slice of rock with a round 800 steps on a marble paved various angles it resembles from The rock measures 380 m (height) (width). Legend has it that there is a Guanghan Palace on the moon inhabited by the beauty Chang'e, the Jade Rabbit, and Wu Gang the woodcutter. People in olden days thought they saw these immortals when they came upon spots on the moon's surface. Visitors to Moon Hill call to each other's attention that there are nature formed rock images of Chang'e, the Jade Rabbit and Wu Gang the woodcutter. 27 Julong Tan Cave 【聚龙潭】 Julong Tan Cave is located between Moon Hill and Big Banyan, consisting of black caves and water caves. The tourists can get to this attraction through land or water. The domed roof at the highest point is 25 m high and 30 m wide. Numerous stalactites looks like diverse dragons, some of which lie, fly and dance, and some of which are golden, blue and yellow. The attractions in Julong Tan Cave are all formed naturally without any artificial decoration, with a total of 48 dragons in all. The most important attraction of Julong Tan Cave is Qishi Palace, which is close to Yulong River, Jinbao River, Big Banyan, Moon Hill, and surrounded by mountains. It occupies an area of more than 900 m2, and has ethnic architecture. The pavilions, terraces and towers are in shade and look quaint and simple. In Qishi Palace, there are also seven exhibition halls displaying more than one thousand species of rare rocks in various shapes and sizes. Jianshan Temple【鉴山寺】 Jian Shan Temple is located at the foot of Yun Ji Hill in Crescent Moon Hill Tourism Scenic Resort of Yangshuo County, Guilin City. It was built in early years of Tang Kai yuan of Tang Dynasty(713B.C).It is one of the most ancient temples in Guilin city, went through Song Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, Qing Dynasty. It has attracted a large number of pilgrims for more than 1200 years. According to the records in historical data, the well-known eminent monk Great Master Jian Zhen failed to take a sea voyage eastward to Japan for the fifth time. On the road When he returned to Yang zhou from Hainan island, he arrived at Guilin from Wuzhou by water, he took a rest and reorganization in Guilin for one Year. During this period, Great Master Jian Zhen often gave speeches in Jian Shan Temple. Jian Shan Temple is an imitation of Tang Dynasty's temple architecture, It’s large in Scale. There are a lot of figures of Buddha enshrined and worshipped in temple, To merge sightseeing, burning incense to pray, and Buddhist’s activities into one organic Whole. It’s big enough to be the biggest temple in Guangxi.
