Forums > Travel Yunnan > UNESCO Sites in China

Wu Ling Yuan in Zhang Jia Jie, Hunan is a UNESCO site but it has nothing to do with the movie Avatar. The movie was NOT filmed here but this scenic spot did put a statue of Avatar here and most people incorrectly believe the movie was filmed here. Great way to deceive the public and charge the ridiculous 400 Yuan entry fee.

Shi Bao Shan in Jianchuan, Dali is a Historical and Cultural site of Yunnan. It is NOT a UNESCO site as evidenced by the 5 UNESCO sites of Yunnan I previously listed.

Italy is home to the greatest number of World Heritage Sites with (49) sites, followed by China (45) and Spain (44).

Yunnan is home to 5 UNESCO sites.

1. Lijiang Old Town - Lijiang
2. South China Karst – Stone Forest - Kunming
3. 3 Parallel Rivers of Yunnan Protected Areas
4. Chengjiang Fossil Site - Chengjiang County – Yuxi
5. Yuan Yang Terrace - Honghe

I have visited 14 of the 45 sites so far and I am eager to visit the remaining sites.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Learning Chinese with a private tutor

These are the course materials for the IPA certification:

1 - Chinese Culture - 中国文化科目 - zhong guo wen hua ke mu
2 - Modern Chinese - 现代汉语 - xiandai han yu
3 - Teaching theories of teaching chinese to foreigners - 对外汉语教学理论 - dui wai han yu jiao xue li lun

A lot of History including many historical sites of China. The most difficult part is the Culture because most students are lacking knowledge in History and Geography.

The reason I started this thread was to inform both the Chinese (Teachers) and the Foreigner (Students) as to what the proper credentials are for advertising or looking for a chinese teacher/tutor.

If anyone is interested they can call some of the ads posted here for chinese teachers and ask some of the basic questions I listed previously. You will be amazed at some of the responses you will receive.

Additionally, of those who do have a Mandarin certificate, it is over 3 years old and the new test is now computerized and unbiased. Previous tests were administered by individual universities and were therefore very biased. I have tested this theory with many of my own students and their scores drop when taking the new computerized Mandarin test.

The main reason for the higher standards is not because of the language (Chinese) knowledge but for the lack of general knowledge that most university graduates have. I have found that most university graduates know nothing about everything

Cannabis is listed as a Schedule I substance under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970, the highest classification under the legislation. This means that the substance has a high abuse potential and no safe medical use.

This is a lie because:
1 - Patent # 6630507 – Oct 2003
2 - No one ever overdosed or murdered on Cannabis.

casual drug users who do not negatively affect anyone - Read what I just wrote, you are 100% mistaken in this premise. Casual drug users do affect others you just don't know about it.

most people cannot even agree on whether drugs should be legal in the first place? People dont make laws, govts make laws and the govts are filled crimminals. Govts do NOT do the will of the people, they only do what is good for themselves.

Again, to understand a complicated topic one must first understand the difference between a functinal (F) addict and a (D) dysfunctional addict. A functional addict seems to live a normal life, never arrested or no run ins with the law. This is the obvious evidence most people see. What people do not see is what happens in the background which is the same for both F + D addicts. The DSM will list these factors and most people know what these are. Problems in the family, divorce caused by the addiction, loss of income caused by the addiction and so on.

There are millions of people who use illegal drugs and never get arrested. And there are millions who use illegal drugs and DO get arrested. We only hear about the ones who get arrested.

For those of you who believe drugs are a victimeless crime, then you failed to consider the mother, the husband, the wife, the children and you are just looking at the fact that the addict did NOT rob a liquor store to get money to support his/her habit.

Alien may not agree with all that I wrote but he can understand what I mean because he asked a serious question rather than jumping to conclusions or making sarcastic remarks and name calling.

The new Visa office is located at 118 Tuo Dong Road. There is no number on the building yet so do not bother to look for it. There are 2 passport photo shops on either side of the building. The office is located directly in front of the Kunming Museum. The bus stop is named - Shi Bo Wu Guan - Bus 1, 62, 109, 117, 145, 213, A1 and K3 stop directly in front of the office. Foreigners need to go to the 3rd floor. The Tuo Dong Stadium is located to the right of the office while Baita Road is located to the left of the office.
