CHINA: EARTHQUAKE DISASTER HITS YUNNAN PROVINCE
Mandarin/Eng/Nat
A strong earthquake has hit China's poor rural southwest, leaving 20-thousand people homeless.
There were no reports of casualties from the initial shock which happened at 3-30 P-M local time (0730 GMT) and registered 5-point-1 on the Richter scale.
It followed a succession of earthquakes in recent weeks which the local community is still struggling to recover from.
The latest in a series of earthquakes to hit one of China's poorest regions has toppled more than 8-thousand buildings.
Twenty-thousand people have been left homeless.
The disaster was the third to strike Yunnan in two weeks.
A pair of powerful quakes on November 20th killed five people, injured 4-thousand and left 25-thousand homeless in the Ninglang region along the border with Sichuan province, 300 kilometres (188 miles) west of Xuanwei.
One of the victims described how the first quake served as a warning which allowed them to evacuate their house before the second tremor struck.
SOUNDBITE: (Yi dialect)
There were two earthquakes, when the first one struck we all ran out of the house, then the second one hit, and it was then that the house collapsed.
SUPER CAPTION: Vox pop, Earthquake victim
Eight-thousand buildings collapsed in Tuesday's quake which hit Yunnan province's Xuanwei county shortly after 3-30 p-m local time (0730 GMT).
Many reportedly belonged to poor farming families scattered across 24 villages.
Villagers said that some families lost many of their pigs and cows - the source of their livelihood.
Seismologists say there could be more coming in the remote mountains of China's Yunnan province.
Until now, reports say there have been few injuries and no deaths in Tuesday's quake.
This surgeon described some of the casualties in Ninglang.
SOUNDBITE: (Mandarin)
On the first night five seriously injured were brought in, then the next day another fourteen. The most seriously injured have broken bones, multiple fractures and flesh wounds.
SUPER CAPTION: Doctor Li Shennian, Chief surgeon, Ninglang hospital
The magnitude of the 5-point-1 quake in Xuanwei county left those buildings still standing weakened and cracked.
Villagers say that they may have to be demolished.
After a summer of devastating floods the Chinese government is struggling to deal with the latest in a string of natural disasters to hit the country.
SOUNDBITE; (English)
From what we understand there are at least twenty five thousand homeless people. The government is doing a pretty good job distributing rice, basic food and some blankets. What we are mostly worried about is the weather, because it can get very cold here
and once it starts snowing the road can be blocked and the people will have nothing.
SUPER CAPTION: Odilon Couzin, Co-ordinator, Doctors Without Borders
Many of those left homeless in the Ninglang quake are still shivering through nights of freezing temperatures with little or no shelter.

Mosu & Naxi Matriarchal tribes, Yunnan province, China
Yunnan province is the most biodiverse and beautiful province in China. It has half of all plant and animal species found in China and 52 of the remaining 56 ethnic minorities in the country. In this clip Manchán meet the O-Er-Do-Ju family in Lugu Lake, North West of Lijiang in Yunnan. He is accompanied by Miss Lu, a foreign affairs official. The father of the family sits at his mother's fireside and explains the Mosu system of family, in which the woman has complete control. He then brings up to meet his father who was a Buddhist monk until the monastary was shut down under Mao. He is now free to practise again. He gives Manchán a message to bring home to the West with him.
The singers on the mountain are members of the Naxi minority and live near Lijiang.

New airport in SW China ethnic tourism hub
With an altitude of nearly 3,300 meters, the Ninglang Lugu Lake Airport becomes the highest airport in Yunnan.
It is located 60 km north of Ninglang Yi Autonomous County of Lijiang City and 50 km from Lugu Lake, where some 40,000 Mosuo ethnic minorities live in a cluster of wood-frame houses, stretching over an area of 60-sq-km.
It is a popular tourism destination in Yunnan.
Unlike the majority of China's ethnic groups who follow a strong patrilineal tradition, Mosuo people have preserved their ancient matriarchal system and the tradition of walking marriage.
The new airport, also the 13th in Yunnan, will only serve domestic flights, with the first flights linking Lugu Lake and the regional capital Kunming launched by China Eastern Airlines on Monday.
The Greater Lijiang, Yunnan Province, China 大 研, 白 沙, 與 束 河 – 大 麗 江
Lijiang City 麗江市, Yunnan Province 雲南省
Lijiang is a prefecture-city in Yunnan Province and includes the administrative seat of Gucheng District 古城區 or Old Town District and four counties namely, Yongsheng County 永勝縣, Huaping County 華坪縣, Ninglang Yi Autonomous County 寧蒗彝 族自治縣 and Yulong Naxi Autonomous County 玉龍納西族自治縣.
Greater Lijiang 大麗江
Greater Lijiang is a UNESCO-listed heritage site that includes Dayan Town 大研鎮 – alias Lijiang Old Town 麗江古鎮, Baisha Town 白沙鎮 and Shuhe Town 束河鎮.
Dayan Town was established around the time of Southern Song 南 宋 (1127 – 1279) and Yuan 元 (1271 – 1368) and has been accredited for preserving the architectural style of that era.
Based at the Old Town District in Lijiang 麗江
Rooms are plentiful, inside and outside the old town area and you are supposed to book in advance. I didn’t. I checked the rooms of a few hotels which were not ideal for me. By chance, I saw a banner from a hotel offering a reasonably good rate, including buffet breakfast too. It was in the best location next to the river walk to the Black Dragon Pool 黑龍潭. With no further thought, I settled at this hotel.
Black Dragon Pool 黑龍潭 in Dayan Town 大研鎮
Dayan Town 大研鎮 is commonly known as Lijiang Old Town 麗江古鎮.
The town is named Dayan 大研, which means 大硯, for it is surrounded by hills with water pooling like a big ink-slab 大硯. The town has an underground water table, though much depleted now due to dense city development, and the Black Dragon Pool has become an icon of Lijiang. Li Jiang literally means Beautiful River (System).
Greater Lijiang 大麗江 on a Day
I hopped on the local bus that took me to Baisha Town 白沙鎮, Yushui Village 玉水寨, Yufeng Si 玉峰寺, Shuhe Town 束河鎮 and finally back to where I started in the city of Lijiang. My bus trip costs CNY 1 each.
Ethnic groups such as Yi 彝族，Lisu 傈僳族, Pumi 普米族, Mosuo 摩梭族 and Naxi 納西族 have a long history in the Greater Lijiang.
Baisha Old Town 白沙古鎮
Baisha was the cultural and political capital of the Naxi 纳西 people and one of the Tea Horse Ancient Town 茶馬古鎮 on the Southern Silk Road 南絲綢之路.
Baisha is famous for keeping the Fresco Art from the Ming Dynasty 明朝 (1368 – 1644) and for founding the Naxi Hand-made Embroidery Institute 800 years ago.
Yushui Village 玉水寨 or Jade Water Village
Yushui village is an ethnic village that showcases the Naxi Culture 納西文化 and Dongba Religion 東巴教.
You know you have come to a tourist place when you see stalls selling treats on the path and someone offering horse-riding adventures. The village has dwelling, place of worship, cemetery, music hall, restaurant and landscape gardens for a leisurely outing.
Naxi Culture 納西文化 and Dongba Religion 東巴教
Lijiang 麗江 has been the stronghold of the Naxi in the last 1400 years.
Descending from Qiang 羌族, Naxi 纳西族 is one of the 56 ethnic groups in China and its language belongs to the branch of Tibetan-Burmese Language Group 藏缅语族. Nashi, Nakhi and Nahi are the alternative names for Naxi. The Dongba religion founded 900 years ago has been intrinsic to the Naxi culture.
Yufeng Si 玉峰寺 or Jade Peak Monastery and Ten-Thousand Camellia 萬朵山茶
Established in 1756, Yufeng Si is in Xuesong 雪嵩, at the base of Jade Dragon Snowy Mountain. 玉龍雪山
Tourists come for the 500 years old camellia tree, said to blossom with 20,000 flowers over a period of 100 days in a year. Nadu 納 督 is the monk who has spent his life diligently and lovingly caring for the tree.
Shuhe Old Town 束河古鎮
Shuhe was a staging post on the Tea Horse Ancient Road 茶馬古 道. All kinds of tourists come to the village-town.
Shuhe still has its old charm and tranquillity, but you have to look pass the shopfronts to appreciate the architecture and layout of the town.
Dayan Town 大研鎮 or Lijiang Old Town 麗江古鎮
At 2400 m above sea level, Dayan was first built during the period of Southern Song 南宋 (1127 – 1279) and named Dayan 大研, same as 大硯, for it is surrounded by hills with water pooling into it like a big ink-slab 大硯.
A catastrophic earthquake in 1996 had damaged many structures in Lijiang and parts of the old town were rebuilt in later years.

Drone video in Lugu Lake —— our Wedding anniversary
we went lugu lake at wedding anniversary, shot the aerial video in memory of our marriage.
Lugu Lake lies 200 kilometers (approximately 124 miles) from the center of Lijiang City, on the border between Ninglang County in Yunnan Province and Yanyuan County in Sichuan Province. It is like a beautiful pearl shining among the hills of the northwest plateau in Yunnan.
The lake is in the shape of a horse's hoof - long from north to south, and narrower from east to west. The vista of the lake changes constantly throughout the day. The morning mist mixed with the light of the rising sun gives it an orange glow covered by mist. When the light of sun causes the hills to throw their shadows onto the water, the lake has a jade green color. The lake is calm and dark green in the evening when the sun sinks, and is peaceful when night comes. Gentle wind blows and water ripples.
On the lake there are five islands. They are different sizes and are like green boats floating on the water. Heiwawu Island, Liwubi Island, and Lige Island are most notable. Heiwawu Island is in the center and has a variety of birds living on it. The smallest is Nixi Island - an oblong rock covered with shrubs and moss. Besides the five islands, there are also three peninsulas and an island which is linked to a seawall on the shore by a path paved with small stones.

SUMMARY
=======
Yunnan (云南) is a province of China. Located in Southwest China, the province spans approximately 394,000 square kilometres (152,000 sq mi) and has a population of 47.368 million (as of 2015). The capital of the province is Kunming, formerly also known as Yunnan. The province borders the Chinese provinces Guangxi, Guizhou, Sichuan, and the Tibet Autonomous Region, as well as the countries Vietnam, Laos, and Myanmar.
Yunnan is situated in a mountainous area, with high elevations in the northwest and low elevations in the southeast. Most of the population lives in the eastern part of the province. In the west, the altitude can vary from the mountain peaks to river valleys by as much as 3,000 metres (9,800 ft). Yunnan is rich in natural resources and has the largest diversity of plant life in China. Of the approximately 30,000 species of higher plants in China, Yunnan has perhaps 17,000 or more. Yunnan's reserves of aluminium, lead, zinc and tin are the largest in China, and there are also major reserves of copper and nickel.
The Han Empire first recorded diplomatic relations with the province at the end of the 2nd century BC. It became the seat of a Sino-Tibetan-speaking kingdom of Nanzhao in the 8th century AD. Nanzhao was multi-ethnic, but the elite most-likely spoke a northern dialect of Yi. The Mongols conquered the region in the 13th century, followed by the Ming dynasty.
From the Yuan dynasty onward, the area was part of a central-government sponsored population movement towards the southwestern frontier, with two major waves of migrants arriving from Han-majority areas in northern and southeast China. As with other parts of China's southwest, Japanese occupation in the north during World War II forced another migration of Han people into the region. These two waves of migration contributed to Yunnan being one of the most ethnically diverse provinces of China, with ethnic minorities accounting for about 34 percent of its total population. Major ethnic groups include Yi, Bai, Hani, Zhuang, Dai and Miao.

SUMMARY
=======
Naxi (autonym: IPA: [nɑ˩ɕi˧]), also known as Nakhi, Nasi, Lomi, Moso, Mo-su, is a Sino-Tibetan language or group of languages spoken by some 310,000 people most of whom live in or around Lijiang City Yulong Naxi Autonomous County (Yùlóng Nàxīzú Zìzhìxiàn 玉龍納西族自治縣) of the province of Yunnan, China. Nakhi is also the ethnic group that speaks it, although in detail, officially defined ethnicity and linguistic reality do not coincide neatly: there are speakers of Naxi who are not registered as Naxi, and citizens who are officially Naxi but do not speak it.
