NGO sues Yunnan dam developer over environmental degradation

发布者@ Bilingualexpat my thoughts exactly, but in addition, it may show how important Yunnan was in the copper and tin trade, aka bronze trade via rivers flowing to southern cities such as Ankor Watt and other sea side trade centers.
Paragliding high above Tiger Leaping Gorge
发布者KC430,
You are correct on photos....
These mountains had never been flown above their summits with a paraglider wing' let alone cross the gorge and continue to Shangrila in a narrow and marginal weather window. Many in china claimed it was impossible but i knew it's no different than any other location on this planet..
It's sad a few uneducated police officers interpret and apply china's aviation laws to paragliding . The police interpret Nick flying a 747 towards the china/Tibet border but, officially; paragliding is recognized as a sport, not a full sized airplane by the Chinese government, including CAAC.
Nick is a very talented and experienced athlete, Thumbs up for Nick's route..
