I will keep a mental note about this and remember to share those photos in the future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13974296645733775.post-4709550067064847262008-12-18T22:35:00.000-05:002008-12-18T22:35:00.000-05:00Hi Bien, you were there two years earlier than my ...Hi Bien, you were there two years earlier than my sister!

I haven't went back since but have been always wanting to. Hope it is not "destroyed". A search of water quality in Lugu Lake brought me some dismay (water quality has degraded, native species are declining...) and some hope (there are people doing research and making efforts to protect the local culture and environment...). I hope that whichever the direction Lugu Hu is developing towards, hope that the local people have something to say, and not just the investors from outside of the area, who just want to make a fortune and leave, and/or some local officials who just want to make a few short-term political points.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
