NEW YORK, Dec. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — While international travel restrictions remain in place, travelers can get a head start planning the ultimate insiders’ trip to Suzhou using personal recommendations from China-based expats. Through the Suzhou Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism’s new <a target="_blank"…

NEW YORK, Dec. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — While international travel restrictions remain in place, travelers can get a head start planning the ultimate insiders’ trip to Suzhou using personal recommendations from China-based expats. Through the Suzhou Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism’s new #SecretsOfSuzhou Instagram campaign, foreigners based in China share their first-hand tips for making the most of a trip to Suzhou.

The campaign launched last month with a trip organized by Time Out Shanghai, that brought a group of 30 expats and travel enthusiasts to Suzhou where they explored historical sites like the Suzhou Museum of Inscribed Stone Tablets, took in traditional cultural performances in Suzhou’s classical gardens and on its romantic canals, experienced local life along Shantang Street, enjoyed the outdoors on a hike by Taihu Lake, and more. Several new weekend tour packages departing from Shanghai recently launched as a result of the trip which focus on Suzhou’s architecture and history.

Here are some of the recommendations from those who attended the trip and other foreigners who spend their days in the «City of Culture & Arts.»

Emily Axen, American living in Shanghai
Emily recently attended the nighttime cultural performance held in Master of the Nets Garden and reviews it as a great look into ancient life in Suzhou. She also shares, «I think going to museums with a guide is key. You get so much more information from a guide as a lot of the information is not written in English.»

Christian Wischnewski, German living in Suzhou
According to Chris, Suzhou has a great atmosphere with the perfect mix of history and modernity. He suggests getting out into Suzhou’s beautiful natural areas, including Mudu Old Town, Sanshan Island, and the water town of Tongli. As for a bite to eat? «I really like squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, with the sweet and sour sauce. It’s something really unique that I haven’t seen in more than 60 countries that I have visited until now,» he says.

Robyn Cronje, South African living in Shanghai (IG: @littlebitsofruby)
«Definitely visit the gardens and watch the Kunqu Opera. It is such a great way of storytelling that will leave you feeling like you have experienced a bit of China itself. The boat ride on the canals is also a must. It’s tranquil and really gives you the feeling that you’re in Venice!» Robyn says.

Yunus Emre, Turkish living in Shanghai
«I always enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of Suzhou every time I’m there,» says Yunus. He describes the city as «culturally deep» and recommends that visitors take the time to enjoy the Suzhou’s historical side on any trip.

About Suzhou
For more than 2,500 years, Suzhou has been known as a center of arts and culture. Intellectuals, artists, and high profile public figures have long been drawn to the city’s romantic canals and stunning classical gardens, nine of which have been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Performing arts including the Kunqu Opera and Pingtan storytelling originated in Suzhou, and the city is also important to the design and fashion worlds as a center for silk making and embroidery. In addition to its arts and culture, Suzhou is home to plentiful natural areas that allow for boundless outdoor activities. Visitors seeking Suzhou’s modern side will find five-star hotels, the iconic Lake Jinji, limitless shopping, and China’s largest overwater Ferris Wheel in the upscale and contemporary SIP District. Each year, millions of tourists travel to Suzhou to experience the destination’s more than 400 attractions, ranging from pagodas and temples to historical districts and world-class museums.

Suzhou is located in the center of the Yangtze River Delta, approximately 60 miles west of Shanghai. Suzhou is easily accessible via direct air service from North America and Europe to Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG.) and is well connected with nearby cities including Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Nanjing by frequent high speed trains.

The entire new and used inventories at Mountain View Hyundai can be conveniently perused through the dealership’s website. An array of filters is on hand to make sifting through the selections as easy as possible and allow individuals to find the vehicle that meets their unique needs.

In addition to browsing the inventory, customers can apply for financing and work with the financing team to develop a loan or lease plan that works for them. Of course, if customers wish to pay for the vehicle fully with cash, that is also possible. The dealership assures that they are remaining available digitally to assist shoppers with the purchase process or any general vehicle questions that they may have.

Those interested in taking advantage of remote test-drives and/or vehicle home delivery are encouraged to head to the Mountain View Hyundai website at http://www.mvhyundai.com. The dealership can also be contacted by phone through dialing 706-671-2581. Finally, those who wear a mask and follow social distancing guidelines may visit the dealership location in-person at 7154 Nashville Street, Ringgold.

MIAMI, Dec. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — JACK DANIEL’S®TENNESSEE APPLE, which couples the unique character of Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey with crisp green apple liqueur for a fresh and rewarding taste, has teamed with Cuban American street artist ABSTRK to produce a dynamic light-up mural honoring Miami’s Hispanic community and its ongoing resilience during the pandemic. Marking ABSTRK’s first time working with lighting elements, the 20′ x 18′ art piece creatively blends his signature vivid style with animated LED light accents to capture the always-on energy of the city. Click here to view a behind-the-scenes video of the mural.

Jack Daniel's® Tennessee Apple in front of ABSTRK's mural, Miami, FL.

During a year in which Hispanic Miamians have faced unprecedented challenges, emblazoned across the mural is the phrase «Carácter Fuerte Y Audaz,» which translates to «Strong and Bold Character.» Located on NW 6th Ave. between NW 24 & 26 Streets, the piece will exhibit throughout the holiday season until January 8.

Born and raised in Miami, ABSTRK is a Cuban American artist whose family immigrated to the United States in the 1960s during the Pedro Pan and Freedom Flights exiles. With a background in both graffiti and traditional fine art, ABSTRK’s work has been praised for its kinetic movement and bold colors. His creations have been featured on canvases at leading art institutions as well as outdoor walls throughout America and the Caribbean.

«For this piece, I was inspired by the diverse color palettes of Miami — from the sun-tinted beach skylines to the neon-bathed nightlife,» said ABSTRK. «This mural is a celebration of my city, my community and my cultural heritage which I’m proud to share with the world. Working with JACK DANIEL’S to bring this to life has been an incredible experience.»

«JACK APPLE loves blending the unexpected and that’s what this mural — and Miami — is all about,» said Fabricia da Silva, Field Marketing Manager of Jack Daniel’s. «Our role was to provide ABSTRK with a blank canvas and the resources to experiment with new ways of expressing his message. What he created is a love letter to Miami that honors the strength of this great city and its amazing people.»

EY US announces inaugural New York City cohort of entrepreneur program for Black and Latinx entrepreneurs

NEW YORK, Dec. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) today announces the inaugural cohort of the Entrepreneurs Access Network (EAN), a business accelerator and comprehensive, executive-level educational program designed to elevate scalable Black- and Latinx-owned companies through access to mentors, resources and networks.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) today announces the inaugural cohort of the Entrepreneurs Access Network (EAN), a business accelerator and comprehensive, executive-level educational program designed to elevate scalable Black- and Latinx-owned companies through access to mentors, resources and networks. EAN offers a curated class-based learning program for emerging and established enterprises; an on-demand option with self-paced education is available to Black and Latinx entrepreneurs of all levels nationwide.

Building a better working world logo.

The inaugural cohort includes entrepreneurs across the US, including those based in the greater New York City area.

«New York City is home to more Black- and Latinx-owned businesses than anywhere else in the country,» said Ian Taylor, a partner with Ernst & Young LLP in the EY New York City office. «Although these diverse entrepreneurs are the lifeblood of our city, they are often underserved, hindering their growth. EAN will connect New York’s leading Black and Latinx founders with necessary resources, skills and knowledge so that they can scale their enterprises, realize their aspirations and invest in their communities.»

Approximately 1% of venture capital dollars go to Black and Latinx founders, despite the fact that minority-owned businesses produced approximately US$700b in revenue in 2019 alone. These figures illustrate the vast opportunity cost of not supporting these underserved entrepreneurs.

«Minority entrepreneurs receive so little support, even though they show immense revenue potential. But closing this gap requires more than capital alone,» said Nit Reeder, EY Entrepreneurs Access Network Program Director. «EAN is not a ‘fund and forget’ program. Our curriculum provides tools and access to an ecosystem.»

EAN’s 12-month curated program includes a company assessment, alignment with a dedicated EY relationship advisor, and a customized learning plan based on the needs and maturity of the company. Participants receive both tangible and intangible guidance, such as guidance in digital transformation, support in upskilling employees, and help developing boards and expanding professional networks.

Black and Latinx business owners who applied for the curated program were evaluated based on certain criteria and placed within «Emerging» and «OnDemand» categories. Black and Latinx entrepreneurs at all revenue, ownership and operational maturity levels can access the EAN resource library, an online resource offering self-paced learning, in mid-January.

Reeder added: «EAN builds on our organization’s current entrepreneurial programs, including 34 years of EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™ and 12 years of Entrepreneurial Winning Women. As we look to the year ahead, it’s more important than ever to support Black and Latinx entrepreneurs, linking them to the resources they need to thrive.»

Durante un año en el que los hispanos de Miami se han enfrentado a desafíos sin precedentes, en el mural está estampada la frase «Carácter Fuerte Y Audaz.» Ubicada en NW 6th Ave. entre NW 24 y 26 Streets, la obra se exhibirá durante la temporada de fiestas de fin de año hasta el 8 de enero.

ABSTRK, nacido y criado en Miami, es un artista cubano-americano cuya familia emigró a los Estados Unidos en la década de 1960 durante los exilios Pedro Pan y Vuelos de Libertad. Con experiencia tanto en graffiti como en bellas artes tradicionales, las obras de ABSTRK han sido elogiadas por su movimiento cinético y colores llamativos. Sus creaciones se han presentado en lienzos en las principales instituciones de arte, así como en muros en toda América y el Caribe.

«Para esta obra, me inspiré en las diversas paletas de colores de Miami, desde los horizontes de la playa teñidos por el sol hasta la vida nocturna bañada por el neón», dijo ABSTRK. «Este mural es una celebración de mi ciudad, mi comunidad y mi herencia cultural y estoy orgulloso de compartirlo con el mundo. Trabajar con JACK DANIEL’S para hacer realidad esto ha sido una experiencia increíble».

«A JACK APPLE le encanta mezclar lo inesperado y de eso se trata este mural, al igual que Miami«, dijo Fabricia da Silva, Gerente de Mercadotecnia de Campo de Jack Daniel’s. «Nuestra función era proporcionarle a ABSTRK un lienzo en blanco y los recursos para experimentar nuevas formas de expresar su mensaje. Su creación es una carta de amor a Miami que honra la fortaleza de esta gran ciudad y su gente increíble».
