    Many local governments in China prefer to attract more international and nationwide visitors and enhance its visibility by rebuilding their cultural and architectural legacies and equipping those new buildings with modern convenient facilities. For example, the city of Shiyan in Hubei province, where the Wudang Mountains are, rebuilt the original villages under the mountain into a fake old-style street called “ the golden street”, selling some souvenirs of low quality at a high price. Visitors from big cities are very disappointed when they see all these gorgeous buildings, which are far away from their original look and become a commercial shopping place, because they expect that they can experience the peaceful and simple atmosphere of the famous Taoist temple in Wudang. Instead of rebuilding everything of the historical sites, protecting and fixing the old buildings can be better ways to realize the modernization.…

In Made in Bangkok, this architecture is categorized in ‘wild nature’ as it represents traditional Thai architecture in the tropical city such Bangkok. Those houses along the river integrate their structures with water and canals, represent how local Thai people live along the river. Wild nature can be, also, interpreted as ‘artificial nature’ as it was put in the modern structures in order to abruptly work as lung for this polluted city such as Bangkok. The structures along the river make Bangkok unusual. Up until then, most people lived near or on the water, leading the city to be known during the 19th century as the "Venice of the East". However due to the non-cooperative citizen’s behavior, most canals are now badly polluted. Nowadays, even though Bangkok has become a modern city, the Chao Phraya River as well as the canals is still charming for…
