China’s Western Frontiers September 1 to 20, 2012

Yunnan & Tibet

Many Chinese will tell you (and some will dispute) that James Hilton’s mythical utopia, “Shangri-la”, is located n the northern corner of Yunnan. This seminar provides an opportunity to decide for yourself while exploring some of China’s most spectacular and diverse regions. As you travel southwest from Shanghai to Yunnan and then ever higher to Lhasa, Gyangtse and Shigatse, you’ll meet many of China’s ethnic minorities, some of which are in danger of fading away. You will experience the rich complexity of Buddhism and culture in Tibet, as well as confronting the competing claims of Chinese authorities and Tibetan exiles. Your guide is Professor Lyman Van Slyke: China scholar and veteran of more than 30 Travel/Study trips, including many to this fascinating region. Join us on the extraordinary adventure!

W H a t t o e X p e C tWe consider this Seminar to be a fast-paced, strenuous program. Participants must be physically fit, active and in good health. While we do not do any serious trekking, this program is at times physically demanding and very busy.

Temperatures will range from the mid 30s ( ˚f) to the low 70s, with low levels of humidity in Tibet and higher levels of humidity in Shanghai and Yunnan Province. The itinerary involves spending time at high altitudes, which reach a maximum of 16,000 feet, including sustained stays at 13,000 feet while in Lhasa. Daily excursions involve one to three miles of walking, including negotiating stairs, high thresholds and cobbled paths without handrails. Many days have long coach rides (of up to 6 hours) over very rough terrain.

Accommodations are the best-available at each destination. It is important to note that China’s tourism infrastructure is at times basic and is not to be compared with western standards. Accommodations in Shanghai, Lijiang, Zhongdian and Lhasa are four- and five-star properties, and the hotels in Dali, Gyangtse and Shigatse are three-star properties. Acceptance of the unexpected is part of the excitement of traveling in China, and we ask that you be prepared for changes or delays in scheduled activities. We welcome travelers 15 years of age and older on this program.

Faculty Leader

S T A N F O R D T R A V E L / S T U D Y

LY M A N P. V A N S LY K E , Stanford professor of history, emeritus, served aboard aircraft carriers on two 10-month Navy tours in the early 1950s. This exposure to Korea, Japan, Hong Kong and the Philippines was a turning point in his life. His desire to stay in the Bay Area and to pursue this new passion led him to UC-Berkeley, where he obtained advanced degrees in Asian studies, specializing on modern China. During these years, he and his family lived for three years in Taiwan. In what he calls “a stroke of remarkable good fortune,” he was invited to join Stanford’s history faculty in 1963 and that same year helped to establish the Inter-University Program for Chinese Language Studies in Taipei. He was also named director of Stanford’s Center for East Asian Studies. Professor Van Slyke has led more than 30 Travel/Study programs to every corner of China, as well as Tibet, the Silk Road and Southeast Asia.
