Call me 15808700801 I've done it myself for my company here: it's not such a problem, they particularly make it easy for you if you're listed as the sole personal investor (or any investor) on the company paperwork.
I wonder if there are any fellow nerds out there keen to play some oldschool table RPGs (D&D, Shadowrun, ...) on either a once-off or semi-regular basis.
I just moved here, stumbled on to one online and thought to throw the question out there!
Also, on the library thing: it seems pretty corrupt taking irreplaceable works from public institution and putting them in an exclusive and expensive environment for private patrons. It's not the first time I've seen this sort of thing going on in China: as early as a decade ago, Tianjin had expensive restaurants which would 'borrow' ancient artefacts directly form museums for decoration.
Tengyue is in fact the old name for Tengchong (腾冲), which far from being a hamlet was the last major commercial center on the southwest silk road en-route to Burma and India after Baoshan (保山).
Numerous families in the Tengchong area derived great wealth from the Burma trade, much from jade and opium. The first private museum in Yunnan opened nearby in the last decade or so. Lots of wealthy Chinese in Southeast Asia trace their roots back to the area.

Posted byAlso... "the hamlet of Tengyue (腾越)" is wrong.

Posted byPinyin is wrong, "sanfang yijiaobi" (三房一照壁) should be "sanfang yizhaobi". Also, "Dai-style" should be "Bai-style".
