1988 was a record year for tourism, but the Tiananmen Square massacre in the spring of 1989 brought the tourist trade to an abrupt halt. However, by 1991 the tourists were starting to return.

It is dedicated to the dragon, symbolising the bringer of rain to whom the farmers turn for help at times of drought; the dragon is also supposed to drive out the evil spirits from the river in which the revered statesman and poet Qu Yuan was drowned long ago by those who plotted against him, since when Qu has been venerated by the Chinese people as a figure

In 1993 China’s population was reckoned to be 1,178,400,000, which made it the most heavily populated country in the world with a fifth of the world’s population.

The truck-driver went to join some of his cronies at another inn. The town centre was dull and crowds of people gathered to stare at us; the people are tall and carry themselves well; their faces were narrow and handsome. But I noticed some surly, suspicious stares, and even had the uncomfortable impression that we were being followed. So we twisted and turned through
