Obama takes in Forbidden City on China tour

CHARLES HUTZLER
The Associated Press

BEIJING–Playing tourist on his first visit ever to China, President Barack Obama drew a chilly comparison between the Chinese capital and his Illinois hometown.

U.S. President Barack Obama tours the Forbidden City in Beijing. (November 17, 2009)

"I have to say I didn't realize that Beijing gets as cold as my hometown of Chicago," the president said Tuesday just before sitting down for a one-on-one meeting with Wu Bangguo, chairman of China's Standing Committee of the National People's Congress.

Earlier in the day, Obama had spent nearly an hour touring the Forbidden City's maze of red buildings and cobblestone courtyards. With snow dotting the roofs and patches of ice lining courtyards, Obama bundled up against the frigid weather in a sweater and brown shearling jacket. He kept his hands in his pockets to ward off the chill.

Built in the 1400s, the Forbidden City once was home to 24 Chinese emperors who ruled the country for nearly 500 years, between 1420 and 1911. The former imperial palace is now known as the Palace Museum, and is open to Beijing's visitors.

"It's a testament to the greatness of Chinese history," Obama said while on tour. He pronounced it "a magnificent place to visit" and said he wanted to come back with his wife, first lady Michelle Obama, and their two daughters, Malia and Sasha. Mrs. Obama did not accompany the president on the trip.

The visit, he said later, was a beautiful "reminder of the incredible traditions and heritage of the Chinese people.''

Before leaving, Obama wrote at length in the VIP visitor's book. The White House did not immediately disclose what he wrote.

Obama's sightseeing was to continue Wednesday with a tour of the Great Wall.

Pan Yang River of northwest Fengshan, Bama, Donglan in the vicinity of plate Zhuang, Yao village in centenarians account for the highest rate of the local population. Long-term research by Chinese and foreign experts found: Bama Yao Autonomous County as the center of Panyang River (including East Portland, Fengshan counties), is a world famous longevity, in which longevity was 29.5/10 million centenarians in Bama , highest in the world, by the International Natural Medicine as "the world's longevity."

Longevity Master Factor is here to air, landscape, vegetation, livestock, fish, crops and all kinds of local products, and dietary habits, ethnic customs, the most precious air of the basin contains a lot of benefit to human health of the anion , its content several times higher than other places. In addition, Panyang River karst caves are rare, the most famous of which a hundred magic hole, was the Joint expedition known as the "First Cave." Coupled with the basin Zhuang, Yao and other ethnic minorities such as colorful ethnic customs, to be built holiday resort, health care system, viewing, research, supplemented by the unique longevity adventure tourism resort.

The Flower power of Bama, Guangxi

Two Bouyei women wander through the fields.

Fields of blooming rapeseed flowers are bathed in the morning sunlight in Bama, Guangxi province, which is known for its unique karst landscape.

While much of northern China was blanketed in snow in February, early spring had painted the fields of Yunnan province's Luoping county in brilliant yellow, as millions of rapeseed flowers bloomed.

Located on the borders of Yunnan, Guangxi and Guizhou provinces, Luoping has long lured tourists with its unique karst landscapes. The basins dimpling mountain ranges are inhabited by the Yi and Bouyei ethnic groups. But its biggest draw is its 430,000 hectares of rapeseed, said to comprise Southwest China's largest plantation.

Sprawling farmlands are covered with the flowers, which stretch to the horizon, filling the air with the refreshing smell of spring in early February.

Hordes of tourists from around the world flock to the county every year to enjoy spring's first exhalations. Some call it "the world's biggest garden", while others hail it as "a mecca for photographers".

Li Chunhua, a native of Nanyang city in Central China's Henan province, is one of the countless photographers who come here every spring.

"It's just nice and warm here," says Li, who came to Luoping this year with his wife and daughter.

He is pleased to have taken a plethora of high-quality photos. Those of his daughter clad in traditional ethnic attire and wandering through the flowers are "particularly beautiful", he says.

The local government has organized the annual Rapeseed Flower Festival from February to March since 1998 to encourage tourists.

Director of the county's tourism bureau, Liu Bo, says Luoping received more than 1.17 million tourists in 2010, when profits from the tourism industry reached 880 million yuan ($133.87 million).

The stream of tourists into the county over the past decade has brought transformation to the previously impoverished county.

"About a decade ago, some farmers were too poor to feed themselves," Liu says.

The tourism boom provided more job opportunities. Local farmers started small businesses, such as family hotels or ethnic handicraft production and retail.

"They don't need to worry about food and clothes anymore. Some built their own houses and bought tractors," Liu explains.

Photographers flock to Bama every spring to capture the picture-perfect scenery.

Yellow and green fields, woven into each other, spread like a woolen carpet.

Rapeseed not only gives oomph to the local tourism industry's expansion but also is the most important local crop. The flowers grow throughout the country but are harvested at different times of the year, depending on local conditions.

Luoping's rapeseed farmlands are among China's vastest.

Cooking oil can be extracted after the flowers wither, which provides another income source for Luoping's farmers.

Jin Xiaoqi, a 31-year-old farmer in Xiaogeda village, owns 1.2 hectares of rapeseed fields and earns nearly 9,000 yuan ($1,369) a year from the crops.

She also sells engraved bamboo to tourists for 8 yuan to 20 yuan apiece, depending on the size. This brings in another 1,000 yuan a month.

Another way in which rapeseed flowers sweeten life in the county is by fostering honey production.

Spring is the beekeeping and honey-processing season. Waves of bees flit across the vast fields of flowers. Local beekeepers - and many from other places, such as Sichuan and Fujian provinces - set up base in tents among the rapeseed farms every spring.

The 430,000 hectares of rapeseed blooms in Luoping attract myriad bees, which produce 15 million to 20 million tons of honey a year. Local people are now looking to brand the county as a honey production base and increase sales to outside markets.

Luoping Tianyuanmiyu Bee Industry Co Chairman Zhu Hongkun founded his enterprise in 2009. It mainly produces honey, propolis and propolis powder.

His company works with more than 270 beekeepers, who each earn about 80,000 yuan a year on average. Some bring in as much as 200,000 yuan annually, Zhu says.

Who said beauty endowed by nature is not worth a fortune?
