The nearby Yulong river, on the outskirts of Yangshou, is a fantastic place for cyclists or hikers intent on seeing real rural China. Water buffalo, ruins, hamlets and more scenic karst, make for a memorable day.

Yangshou Mountain Retreat eco-lodge is an excellent place to stay. And so, our Bill Clinton story. In '98, he toured here and was also taken to the impoverished fishing villages in its hinterland (I forget whether Hilary & Chelsea were there too). Clinton arrived at tiny 'Yucun' and shook hands with kids there. But due to the traditional unease which some Asian societies have around folks with special needs, he was deliberately prevented from meeting clever 16 year old Chun Li (Angel).

The local authorities pressured Chun Li's family into keeping her secreted away upstairs, as Clinton toured her family's modest ancient home, with its still-intact wooden lintels and more. Those dignitaries were embarrassed about Chun Li's diminutive size, born of brittle bone disease plus other health issues. She also had never allowed to attend school.

Months later, Clinton was told about his having been prevented from meeting Chun Li. He then did a classy thing, sending her a personal, gold-embossed letter expressing his disappointment at having missed her that way. Nine years later, we saw that same letter above the lodge's entry. Chun Li had since taught herself excellent English, in addition to learning enough computer skills to have become the lodge's front-desk supervisor. She'd also gotten married.

I contacted Clinton once we got home, to update him about Chun Li. Eventually, he responded and as per my cheeky request, also wrote a pair of letters greeting both my own Special Ed class and also the International Pen Pal Club extra-curricular, which I ran at our school. Clinton finally met Chun Li in-person at a Special Needs conference several year ago.
