  • Lijiang County, Yunnan, China: Forests and Tourism
    LIJIANG COUNTY, YUNNAN, CHINA: FORESTS AND TOURISM DEVELOPMENT Lijiang County of northwestern Yunnan, China, with its spectacular Jade Dragon Snow Mountains (Yulongxue Shan), was opened to visitors in 1985. Over the past 15 years enormous changes have occurred to the environment and the many ethnic minorities. Two themes are emphasized here: the vicissitudes of a fluctuating forestry policy and the rapid growth in tourism. Over the centuries outside influences have affected life and landscape in Lijiang County. Prior to 1950, however, these was very intermittent, reflecting fluctuating imperial will and Han military presence. After 1950 the impacts of a lowland and distant central authority became pervasive, yet many of the ethnic minority ways of life persisted. With the 1985 opening to the influence of globalization, albeit filtered through the authoritarian screen of central government, change has accelerated to unimaginable proportions. Two sources of economic and social change can be identified. One is due to a distant provincial government based in Kunming; the other is due to actions of the central government and its determination to control development for the benefit of China as a whole. Thus the varying importance of extractive forestry and the recent priority placed on mass tourism as the best force for overall rapid economic success are essentially modern lowland impacts on a highland region that less than two decades ago was still one of the most isolated areas in the world. The Jade Dragon Snow Mountains, located in Lijiang County in latitude 270 North, are the most southerly mountains of Eurasia that support glaciers and 1 permanent snowfields.

  • The Social and Cultural Impact of Tourism Development on World Heritage Sites: a Case of the Old Town of Lijiang, China, 2000–2004
    Sustainable Tourism II 117 The social and cultural impact of tourism development on world heritage sites: a case of the Old Town of Lijiang, China, 2000–2004 1 2 1 T. Yamamura , T. X. Zhang & Y. Fujiki 1Department of Tourism Design, Kyoto Saga University of Arts, Japan 2Department of Urban and Regional Planning, College of Environmental Sciences, Peking University, People’s Republic of China Abstract The objective of this paper is to clarify the spatial and social impact on a city caused by its being registered as a World Heritage Site and its transformation into a tourist destination. As part of an investigation of the problems related to rapid development of tourism and its pressures on World Heritage Sites, this study attempted to clarify the issues facing the tourist industry at the Old Town of Lijiang, Yunnan Province, China, a World Heritage Site, by focusing on the tourist shops there and comparing these data as of 2004 with previous data as of 2000. The ways in which both the existing indigenous society (a minority known as the Naxis) and the majority peoples, temporary residents, engage in commercial tourism-related activities were examined. As a result, it was found that, in recent years, the usage of historic buildings has drastically changed. At present, over 90% of shops are tourist-oriented souvenir shops and restaurants. Furthermore, over 50% of shopkeepers are temporary residents, mainly Han Chinese, with a large majority renting rooms from indigenous owners. These findings suggest that the location of the residences of the indigenous minority and its culture are rapidly changing as tourism develops.

This research explores a “better” travel pattern referred to as “slow tourism,” in China. The fieldwork took place from November to December 2013, in the Lijiang region of China, a region characterized by its slow life pace. The topic of this thesis was inspired by Simon Milne, a visiting professor who instructs a Globalization course. Slow tourism is an approach that I have utilised during my travels. Furthermore, it is a research topic that interests me. Before starting my slow tourism study, I brainstormed what it means to be “slow” during a trip. However, I found that slow tourism content does not only refers to taking more time when reading tourism-related literature. Western scholars have presented arguments surrounding environmental concerns. In particular they argued in favour for low-carbon emitting, travel experiences and transportation modes. The traveller’s experience at a destination is an integrated element of slow tourism, which generated the premise for this investigation that aims to reveal what slow tourism looks like in China. Finally, I chose the Lijiang area as my research location.

  • Media and the Future of Tiger Leaping Gorge by Rachel Beitarie
    Media and Advertising Media and the future of Tiger Leaping Gorge by Rachel Beitarie Posted by Jeremy Goldkorn on Monday, October 23, 2006 at 3:00 PM Tiger Leaping Gorge: Not yet damned "It is a test-case", Professor Yu had told me before I went to visit Tiger Leaping Gorge. "The plan to build a dam in this scenic spot is an opportunity for local people; NGO's, the Chinese media and everyone who's concerned with the current decision-making mechanism have their voices heard. The struggle here will have an impact on the future of dam construction in China". The people of Wuzhou village are certainly willing to seize this opportunity. They've been protesting against the project ever since it was brought to their attention. One of these protests a few months ago resulted in violence. A county official was pushed into the river by some angry farmers, and the story made its way across the region reaching even the foreign media. The villagers are now determined to keep fighting against what they see as a threat to their well-being and traditional way of life. "It is our home" Says Ms. Li, a local minivan driver, as she navigates her vehicle on the narrow road, among rice and corn fields across this incredibly fertile and serene valley. "We will not be pushed out of here by any power company". The people of the valley have also petitioned to the authorities in Beijing to stop all preparation works in the region. More than 8000 people have signed the petition.

    Villages in Transition The Rise of Tourism in Lijiang, China Winner, 2009 Harvard University Graduate School of Design Penny White Awards Saehoon Kim Doctor of Design Candidate Graduate School of Design Harvard University A Paper Presented to The Penny White Student Projects Fund Selection Committee Harvard University Cambridge, Massachusetts Copyright 2011, Saehoon Kim All rights reserved. February 28, 2011 Acknowledgements This research was enabled by the generous sponsorship of the Penny White Student Projects Awards Committee at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design in 2009. Field study to China was made between August 4th and 8th, 2010. I am indebted to Professor Peter G. Rowe for letting me witness his everyday lives replete with admirable scholarship, and to Dr. Yue Wu for his warm hospitality in China. Abstract Dwindling water supplies and large-scale landscape change caused by increasing human footprints are posing challenges to myriads of cities in China. This essay is about the rise of tourism in Lijiang in southern China and its social and environmental consequences. Lijiang made a dramatic leap into the circuit of international tourist destinations in the mid-1980s. Currently, some five million tourists per annum visit Lijiang and are enchanted by its novel, exciting, yet comfortable and serene environment. The city‟s experience of emerging as a tourist venue in the international market is noteworthy: local tourism was largely stimulated and subsidized by the central government, not by local political leaders or indigenous groups whose goal was to generate revenues. The opening-up of Lijiang was an integral part of the central government‟s early experiment in commodifying local resources in remote ethnic towns, thereby reducing the potential risks of overinvesting in the development of new tourist sites.
