I think the thumbs is a good thing because it gives those vindictive cowards a good feeling - they get to play moderator. Let them play with their thumbs and it keeps them out of the forums.
Perfect example - Read Goldie's post - she is spot on in her comment - BUT of course she gets thumbs down for telling the truth.
Let the children have their toys. So I wonder who gave Goldie the thumbs down - was it the mature or the immature? If the shoe fits, wear it!
Bluebird - Excellent advice and suggestions from people who do NOT even own a home in China.
Simple - don't patronize these places - let them go out of business.

Weishan, Yunnan: Birthplace of an ancient kingdom
Posted byWeishan has got to be one of the most original places left in Yunnan. Not commercialized and people are kind and not out for money.
Jianchuan was also the same but now that the highway runs right through it has already changed. Same for Shaxi and Shuang Lang in Dali.
Visit Weishan while you can. Great place to go and just hang out and relax, Wei Bao Shan is 11 km away. I like it because you can see all the temples by walking in a circle without having to backtrack. Much better than Shi Bao Shan in JianChuan, Dali.

Posted byUnfortunately, the map provided with the locations of fracking is very small and I can not make out the names of the locations. However, one can see that they are in the SE of Sichuan.
I will take some time later to make out the exact locations and provide the names of the prefectures and counties they are located in.
For those who are not aware, this is the juncture of the Min and Yangtze Rivers. Above Yibin, the Yangtze is also known as the Jinsha River. Below Yibin, the Yangtze is known in Chinese as the Chang Jiang or "Long River."
