Hundreds of poisonous snakes slithering on the grounds of a farm in China are the unlikely neighbors of a woman that locals call the 'Cobra Queen.' Hu Xiaoxia the snake breeder produces snake wine, which locals use to make medicinal liquor. Cobra skin is also considered a heat-clearing medicine in traditional Chinese medicine. She has risked her skin every time she stepped into the room with these cold-blooded reptiles for the past 3 years, but that's why they call her the Cobra Queen.
This 30,000 square-foot building is Shanghai's new Starbucks Reserve Roastery, the largest Starbucks in the world. Seattle-based Starbucks opened the doors to its biggest ever shop in Shanghai on Wednesday, which features three brew bars, augmented reality tech, lavish design, and coffee, lots of coffee. The spacious 'reserve roastery,' which can serve up to 7,000 customers a day and up to 1,000 people at one time, is the second of its type in the world, after Starbucks opened its first version in Seattle in 2014.
One of the world's longest over-water bridges is finally nearing completion after nearly a decade of construction. The Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge is set to connect Hong Kong with Macau and Zhuhai, three major cities on the Pearl River Delta in China. The crossing consists of three cable-stayed bridges and one undersea tunnel. The construction formally began in 2009 and is due to be completed in December 2017, opening to traffic in 2018. Over 400,000 tons of steel was used to buid the project, about 60 times the amount used to build the Eiffel Tower.
A new cargo train will connect Italy and China directly, and the first service departed from the northern Italian city of Mortara on Tuesday, bound for China's Chengdu.

The trip takes around 18 days, almost 20 days less than shipping the cargo by sea. The train consists of 17 coaches and 34 containers which can carry equipment, electronics, furniture, and cars.
Cannabis production is quietly but steadily flourishing in a country where illegal possession of hemp or cannabis can carry the death penalty - China. The production is done under extreme supervision as scientists control every step of the process.

The Asian giant produces and processes about 44,000 tons of legal hemp products annually, more than any other country.
