I hope that some of you will write about the various museums we visited at the Jianchuan complex. Amanda's gotten us started.

Some of us visited the museum devoted to sent down youth. You folks and others may be interested in this new article on memorials and museums to sent down youth. https://apjjf.org/2018/14/Fiskesjo.html

Several among us bought Mao badges or collections of Mao's words in Kunming. Perhaps it was the inspiration of the Red Age or Cultural Revolution museums we saw outside of Chengdu that powered such acquisitions. Here is a new work on Mao badges by a longtime researcher at the British Museum, Helen Wang. You can download the book bit by bit as pdf files:

John and others got some great photos. Here is a video someone shot in 2012 of planes landing and taking off there.

The photo below is of mechanics working on a US plane in 1966. The US sometimes bombed Vietnam using Taiwan-based planes.

One of the temples that Chris featured above is at Dihua Street (visited 7/12, next to the Yongle fabric market). It is the Xiahai (Siahai 霞海) Temple. I don't know how many of you may have explored it during our visit:
