My own personal expulsion with several peers at the collegiate level, albeit anecdotal, refutes your overgeneralizing claim!
Pictures of the flood look quite serious. Water near level of car door handles.
May be a good day to stay home and order Meituan.
@colinflavhive
Meituan "paotui" aka 跑腿 is the name of their expedite, in-town parcel delivery service I was referring to. During raining/flooding periods such as today, the system automatically adds 4 rmb (flat rate) to "paotui" delivery rates by distance.
I checked out Sal's Meituan delivery. Menu items include quesadillas, burritos, salads, cheesecakes, coffees whatnot, but no pizzas to choose from. What am I doing wrong?
Btw, pictures of all the dishes look very delicious w/ easy-to-read English language labels.
For those who forgot card and cash, you can now ride the metro by following them on WeChat, scan to track trip and pay for fare.
For bus commuters. Install UnionPay app and get on public buses for just a pretty penny.

Work commences on Lijiang-Shangri-la Railroad
Posted byI stopped short of naming it "Holy Mountain" as that would carry Abrahamic connotations. Sacred Mountain probably has a better ring for the Tibetan Bon & Buddhism motif.
RIP to 11 victims of Mt. Everest just last month. They need stricter regulations on the south Nepal side.
Book Review: Lost Horizon
Posted byThe gravity-defying, floating Hallelujah Mountains in James Cameron's Avatar film franchise is also fictional, but based off of the majestic beauty of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in Hunan.
Nature of the cosmos has continuously shown itself more miraculous than our human imagination.

Book Review: Lost Horizon
Posted byAn article titled "In search of the real Shangri-La" on Lost Horizon and Shanghai-la was republished three days ago on the Telegraph:
www.telegraph.co.uk/china-watch/travel/the-real-shangri-la/
"'The place described in the book Lost Horizon has never been disclosed, but we knew it was Muli and the surrounding area' - Xuan Ke, son of Joseph Rock's secretary who organised the translation of Lost Horizon into Mandarin in the 1970s"
Work commences on Lijiang-Shangri-la Railroad
Posted byJust returned. If all goes well, the high speed rail (HSR) from Kunming to Shangri-La is scheduled to run next year.
In the second to last paragraph, it's difficult to imagine any trains would run through Deqen ["Deqin"] given its challenging mountain terrains and its "godly mountain" (神山) reputation given by locals. Townsfolk are wary of the environmental degradation caused by over-tourism in the event of a HSR station perched along their sacred Deqen mountain range. Although Shangri-La to Tibet HSR is planned which seemingly passes through that NW direction. An update on that would be appreciated.
Between Shangri-La and Deqen is Balagezong Shangri-La Grand Canyon National Park, This 4-starred attraction opened to public just last year with deeper mountainous road accessibility than ever before. The grand canyon view near the summit is spectacularly surreal. FIY, for 70 bucks more per day, local guides will take you further than park shuttles normally traverse by hiking special paths.
GoKunming (or affiliates) should definitely do a piece on Balagezong. The local hero/entrepreneur who spent a decade depleting his entire fortune (~40M) and borrowing hundreds of millions to connect his remote mountainous village to the world ought to be featured.
