Traditional culture goes social

People from remote Nu villages near the Myanmar border in Yunnan are becoming stars on social media, and helping to promote tourism in their region. What do you think of the development of tourism in areas that just a decade or two ago had little to do with the modern world?

Water conservation at Liangzhu

The need for humans to conserve water has never changed. The hydraulic system used at Liangzhu some 4500 years ago opened to the public for the first time last week. Liangzhu was one of the earliest states and one of the biggest cities in the world at the time. Are you impressed by these early feats of engineering? Do you think viewing sites like this helps us feel closer or further removed from our ancestors?
