2 years ago when I was in Lijiang with some friends we visited Qing Xi Park (Reservoir). The signs are clearly posted stating that this is drinking water but there was a guy taking a bath with soap and shampoo in the drinking water. I took a picture of him and that exact moment he reaches down and soaps and scrubs his gonads. We immediately called 12345 and within minutes a guard came and made him leave.
They even have signs in Chinglish:
Source water protection area.
Start from myself to protect the water source.

Lack of Delayed Gratification - can't hold a piece of trash until one reaches a garbage can.
The other problem is - Been to many places where there is Not a single garbage can in sight.
The Chinese report repeatedly mentions the catchphrase "Encourage the High End, Limit the Ordinary, Restrict the Low End" (鼓励高端、控制一般、限制低端) in reference to the new policy.
Hotels, motels, guesthouses are everywhere. No reason to book beforehand.
Short story - Arrived in Lijiang and was walking to our favorite guesthouse when we saw a laowai couple with the dreaded Lonely Planet book in hand. Dazed and confused with the deer in the headlights look I asked them if they needed some help. They were looking for some off the wall place where they already made reservations.
I told them, you just passed 30 or so guesthouses but they were determined to find this one place because they already made reservations. I am not exaggerating - 2 hours later after we got into our hotel and took a shower and were ready to relax in town, we saw the same fools with their double backpacks in tow, sweating and still looking for that guesthouse. I laughed!!!!!!
If you are a pampered 4-5 star lover, they always take laowais. If you like cheap, there is always someone who will take you in. The only one who ever got rejected and had to sleep in a manger was Mary and Joseph.

Posted byTo get to the Train station subway entrance you have to walk completely around the building. You can walk around on either side of the building but it is about a 10-15 walk. It is not very convenient. Also, because of the beefed up security, all the back doors of the train station are locked so you can not walk through the train station.
At this time, the station on Huan Chen Nan Lu is a bit more convenient.

Posted byI think having a child in this day and age is insane. To put a child in school now is inhumane and borders on child abuse. Kids are in school all day, followed by evening classes such as english or piano or some other ridiculous thing, then homework till all hours of the night. Pressure from all directions and no time to be a kid. I would hate to be a kid now - anywhere!
