In the southwestern province of Yunnan, I visited this wonderful Chinese city of 8 million people. My stay was less than 24 hours but included a delightful dinner with several current and former school parents. The city is at an elevation of 1800 m, surrounded by mountains, with clean air, and a tradition of being a wonderful place to train for the national sports teams.
Jun and I took a quick trip up West Mountain on the shore of Lake Dian – using the cable car – to see the national Park on the summit. The monument is the gravesite of Nie Er who is the Chinese composer best known for March Of The Volunteers – the national anthem of China.
