mke1963 Says: I just love this photograph. I have posted it before (on VT??) but in colour. I like it even more in black and white.The tip? Errrrrr. Take plenty of film! The whole area is just one big "Must See Activity"
mke1963 Says: Local map of the main lake at Puzhehei. The entrance area is at the bottom, where there is a green arch. The Yinhu hotel is towards the end of the road that goes for about 2km noerth-east from there, just where it crosses the lake.

mke1963 Says: It is difficult to adequately describe the serene beauty of this whole area. The authorities have contrived to ruin the area at the far southern end, but there is a whole plain of villages, lakes, karts scenery and pastoral scenes.The changing light throughout the day makes...
mke1963 Says: This 2-star hotel is in a poor state of repair. The room had spectacular views over the 1-star hotel opposite, but it was well camouflaged by trees and shrubs.However, the downside is that the room was damp, peeling lino floors, ham-fisted electrical installations and...
mke1963 Says: On the road north of Puzhehei, there are many places where potters work with the rich clay from the fields.I originally thought that these were pots - for plants - but friends say that they are probably not. Nobody knows what they are for. Any ideas?
Making sure nature doesn't entirely win #6
mke1963 Says: 6) Construct large shopping malls, and use tiles creatively.This effect can be enhanced by keeping the rents high enough to deter traders from moving in. A second, more cunning trick, is to make sure that not one shop sells any locally made produce or handicrafts. Tourists...

mke1963 Says: 5) Find a scenic creek and fill it with concrete or start construction of a modern building. The effect is heightened if you go bankrupt halfway through the building process.Tourists are particularly keen to see building sites, especially when they use materials not normally...
Making sure nature doesn't entirely win #4
mke1963 Says: 4) Find the most scenic viewpoint in the area and erect huge advertising hoardings. It is preferable if the billboard advertises hotels that are 100 metres away at the end of the same road and visible from the same position.
Making sure nature doesn't entirely win #3
mke1963 Says: 3) Ensure that local vegetation and plants are removed, and replace them with landscaping and rocks. Be sure to include species that are not adapted to local climatic conditions to ensure that chic 'dead' look after a few months. (This can be hastened by not watering them if...
Making sure nature doesn't entirely win #2
mke1963 Says: 2) Find a village constructed almost entirely in the local style with local materials and build an ostentatious, gaudy building that looks like a dog's bum with a hat on.Tourists are particularly attracted to crap architecture!
Making sure nature doesn't entirely win #1
mke1963 Says: Important improvements useful for attracting tourists to your beautiful, unspoilt natural heritage:1) Find the most beautiful hill, visible from everywhere in the beautiful area....and put a huge telecommunications tower on top.

Jinping is Qiubei. Trust me on this. I have spent a lot of time checking GIS databases and this is it. I haven't been to the town of Qiubei, which is a pity because I was told it is an atmospheric......
