@Liumingke: Do you really think of foreigners in China being in a situation of us vs. them?
Either you're joking or paranoid.
Relocations can be good or bad; when Power decides they must be forced, it should be a wake-up call that Power has been, and is still, doing something wrong.
Outlet for train/bus tickets just across bridge from north end of Wenhua Xiang - go there, show passport, buy ticket, get it immediately.
I.e.: Absolute private/group ownership is only a concept; doesn't exist in the real world, where what 'ownership' means is always a matter of some compromise between common agreement concerning use rights, on the one hand, and concentrated power on the other. Nice when the compromise is accurately and clearly specified in law, and the law is enforced, though - which seems not to be what happened in John Israel's case.
Then we can decide what to do about, e.g., 19th century Alabama laws, or any laws about ownership.

I'm not a health foody but the few meals I've had here have been really good and, yeah, I'll be happy to go back alone to sample all the rest of them. It's also not a bad place from which to people-watch the street below.
Stone Age graveyard discovered in Yunnan's Chuxiong Prefecture
Posted byP.S. Dolphin, your dating of 'dinosaurs': "Hua Yang Guo Zhi, a book written by Chang Qu during the Western Jin Dynasty (265–316), reported the discovery of dragon bones at Wucheng in Sichuan Province."
Well, I guess they could have been dragon bones...

Posted by@ keebler, I hope you're kidding, but if you're serious, I suggest you start a forum thread on this ("I;ll be glad to kick in my 2 cents' worth), as we've gotten pretty far away from this Neolithic graveyard.
Government bans swimming at tourist-friendly Fuxian Lake
Posted byHopefully somebody will be paying attention to this kind of thing while they are busy banning those polluting swimmers - or is the water in fact not clean enough to swim in? My impression is that it is clean enough.
Much ado about...littering at Lugu Lake
Posted byOK, cloudtrapezer, agreed. Tourism is an industry run on an absurd basis that produces contradictory demands in the promotion of profitable businesses dependent on catering to rather absurd (especially in the case of ethnic tourism) dreams of a relatively new tourist industry, and I agree with what you say about the Chinese media. The contradiction evident in this recent scarp between local vendors and, apparently rather arrogant, tourists. The route this kid of development is taking, however, is not likely to get less contradictory as the tourist industry become less 'new' - the best you'l get is a 'PC', smug, attitude among those who benefit from it and still consider themselves above it all.

Posted bySo the idea is that swimmers pollute and that swimming is dangerous? What can the boats do that do NOT belong to the scuba-diving club?
