  • DAY 1: May 23Rd Arrival and Transfer to Rock Lijiang
    A YUNNAN YOGA RETREAT May 23-28th 2021 www.bespoketravelcompany.com 1 [email protected] ABOUT THIS TRIP We may not know you personally, but we’re going to go out on a limb and say that you need a break. A proper one. If your past year has been anything like ours then we know a couple of things are probably true. 1) it’s time you treated yourself; and 2) stepping onto the yoga mat was probably the best thing you did last year to stay sane and happy. Here at Bespoke we feel the same, which is why this six-day trip in Lijiang and Dali has been created by our frazzled founder and the fabulous folks at Taozi Tree Yoga studio to be a dream retreat of sorts; a complete getaway for those looking for something special. The focus of this trip will be on restoring balance, aligning ying and yang, identifying problem areas and returning a new person: calmer, healthier, more rested and with greater mental clarity to cope with whatever comes next. What’s more, the surroundings couldn’t be more inspiring: Yunnan’s majestic mountains, lush valleys, rare flowers and rich Tibetan heritage will lift your spirits daily. We’ll visit practicing temples, take a yoga class on a raised platform overlooking Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, be serenaded by local musicians and even try our hand at tie dying with the locals. Oh, and let’s not forget all those delicious family-style Yunnan meals – it’s one of the main reasons to go right? TRIP LENGTH: 6 days, 5 nights (Sunday May 23–Friday May 28, 2021) COST: Early bird until April 10th: 10,900RMB/person; 12,000RMB/person thereafter, based on double occupancy; add 2,800RMB for single occupancy.

Most of the interpretation he does offer is from other scholars. He does not offer his own interpretation beyond tempering the positions of others, or engaging in some limited speculation. It is similar to some of the books of translation he has previ- ously published in which he expects the translated material to speak for itself. This material is important, but it does not speak for itself. Moreover, I would very much like to know the opinions and perspectives of someone who has studied this subject for more than thirty years. I know he has something to say, and I just wish he would be more assertive in saying it. There is only one area in which he has made a serious error, and that is in choosing to use Wade-Giles romanization in the text. While it is certainly true that pinyin is no better than Wade-Giles in representing the Chinese language, it is very much beside the point. The issue is no longer a struggle for dominance between two equal systems.

  • Yunnan: a Planned Hub of Belt and Road
    4 May 2016 Economists' Pick > Research Articles > Research Articles Yunnan: A Planned Hub of Belt and Road A Hub Reaching out to Southeast Asia Under China’s Belt and Road Initiative, efforts are being made to promote economic policy coordination, orderly free flow of economic factors, highly efficient allocation of resources, and in-depth integration of markets between countries along the Belt and Road routes. In addition to the 60-plus countries involved, various provinces and cities in China are also taking proactive steps to complement the development of the Belt and Road. In the Vision and Actions on Jointly Building the Silk Road Economic Belt and 21st Century Maritime Silk Road released by the National Development and Reform Commission in March last year, it was pointed out that in advancing the Belt and Road Initiative, China will give full play to the comparative advantages of various regions in the country. It also stated that efforts will be made to “take full advantage of Yunnan’s geographic position to advance the construction of international transport links connecting with neighbouring countries”, with plans to build the province “into a hub reaching out to South Asia and Southeast Asia”. According to the Vision and Actions, the key cooperation directions for development of the Silk Road Economic Belt include from China to Southeast Asia, South Asia, and the Indian Ocean. Geographically, Yunnan is located at a key position in the land links between China and Southeast Asia. The province shares a common border of more than 4,000 kilometres with the three ASEAN countries of Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam, and is close to India, Bangladesh, Thailand and Cambodia.

The recent excavations of the terminal Miocene hominoid site (between 6 and 6.5 Ma) at Shuitangba site, Zhaotong in Yunnan Province resulted in the discovery of rich tapir fossils, which include left maxilla with P2-M2 and mandibles with complete lower dentitions. The new fossil materials can be referred to Tapirus yunnanensis, which represents a quite small species of the genus Tapirus. But T. yunnanensis is slightly larger than another Late Miocene species T. hezhengensis from Gansu, northwest China, both of which are remarkably smaller than the Plio-Pleistocene Tapirus species in China.

  • 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.
