As we have had shift one of our fieldwork sites, we thought it would be a good idea to point you all toward some introductory information on the first village we will visit: Jiangou. Colleagues of ours in Beijing, An Deming and Yang Lihui, will give us a more formal orientation to the area and its history, but take a look at these two pieces in the meanwhile:

• a study on development & tourism

• a short bit about the local rose-growing industry
