-- Lijiang: A Tranquil Paradise of China - P1/2 (In Chinese). Episode: 1747, Air Date: 27 June 2011.
Today's A Journey through Aesthetic Realms will be presented in Chinese, with subtitles in Arabic, Aulacese (Vietnamese), Chinese, English, French, German, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, Persian, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.
Greetings, blessed viewers, and welcome to A Journey through Aesthetic Realms on Supreme Master Television. In 1933, British author James Hilton published a best-selling novel titled Lost Horizon.
The book portrays a peaceful paradise in a little-known territory of eastern Tibetan mountains called Shangri-La, where people enjoy a carefree life and incredible longevity. The manuscript was believed to be inspired by the travel logs of botanist Joseph Rock, who stayed in Lijiang in Yunnan Province of China to study the unusual flora of the area.
Today, in part one of a two-part series, please join us for a journey to this amazing utopia and experience its ethereal beauty.
Lijiang is nestled in the northwestern mountains of Yunnan where the Tibetan Highlands transition into the lower-lying Yungui Plateau. The high level of geotectonic activities of the region has over the years sculpted a rugged terrain with alternating high mountains and deep valleys. Three major rivers of Asia pass through this area.
They are Changjiang (Yangtze River), Mekong River, and Salween River. The Three Parallel Rivers of Yunnan Protected Areas is a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Site that features awe-inspiring sceneries and tremendous biodiversity.
Flowing in from the northwestern mountains, Changjiang, the world's third longest river, takes a sharp V-turn, then heads towards the northeast. The turn is also called the First Bend of Changjiang. According to folklore, Salween, Mekong, and Yangtze were three traveling sisters. When they reached the Lijiang area, Salween and Mekong decided to go south, while Yangtze preferred to head towards where the sun rises. Therefore, she made a resolute turn and never saw her sisters again. Today the three sisters are the life-giving rivers of Myanmar (Burma), Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, Âu Lạc (Vietnam), and China.
A few kilometers on her solo journey heading northeast, Changjiang meets the famous Tiger Leaping Gorge, where the roaring Yangtze gushes through 15 kilometers of a narrow path between the southerly Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and the northerly Baha Snow Mountain, both measured at over 5,000 meters in height. With snow peaks, verdant forests, and steep valley, Tiger Leaping Gorge is among the world's deepest gorges.
Folk story has it that a tiger jumped across the gap to escape peril; hence the place got its name. With the shortest distance between the craggy banks at 25 meters and a flow rate of 70,000 cubic meters per second, the rapids at Tiger Leaping Gorge are among the fastest on the planet.
Further north on the other side of the Baha Snow Mountain is another amazing spectacle of nature -- the White Water Terrace. Here white sandstones form multiple levels of perfectly flat platforms with raised vertical edges. Crystal-clear water fills each level of the terrace, reflecting the entrancing blue sky.
These unique features are of a geological formation called travertine, which occurs at fault lines where mineral-rich water oozes out from geothermal springs. Under special underground conditions, the originally alkaline water is supersaturated with carbon dioxide. Upon emergence, carbon dioxide is released from the water, resulting in reduced acidity and decreased solubility of carbonate minerals. Over time, calcium carbonate precipitants from the water form flat sedimentary terraces. Standing next to the spectacular structures, one can't help but be in tremendous awe of nature's greatness.
Equally magnificent are the many rice terraces, which can be readily seen from the road. The local people have harvested from these extensive, perfectly engineered paddies for over a thousand years. During the sowing season, viewed from a high mount on a sunny day, each patch of rice terrace is like a piece of glittering mirror flawlessly fitted into a mosaic of nature's painting.
Between the Tiger Leaping Gorge and Lijiang city is the renowned Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, to which many folk songs sing praises. Its snowcap is actually a glacier whose melting water feeds the fairytale city of 1.2 million inhabitants.
Lijiang has at least 800 years of history. In early Yuan Dynasty, it was developed into a flourishing meeting point for caravans that traveled between China and Tibet and India. The trading route that passes Lijiang, is called the Old Tea Horse Road. It originated from the Pu'er region of Yunnan, which is world-famous for its Pu'er tea.

SUMMARY
=======
Yunnan (云南) is a province of the People's Republic of China, located in the far southwest of the country. It spans approximately 394,000 square kilometres (152,000 sq mi) and has a population of 45.7 million (as of 2009). 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, and 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 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, with local control exercised by warlords until the 1930s. 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 majority 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.
