Here are some pages I've found:

This photo: http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/Asia/China/photo69437.htm

This article about Chinese-Taiwan relations has quotes from the keeper: http://www.taiwanheadlines.gov.tw/20000229/20000229s4.html

That's pretty much all I can find. But maybe it helps. It looks like a cool city - the only way to enter it is still through the original protective gates.

I really want to go to Asia one day. It's such a cool place.

Good links, Greg and Stephen! Greg, I'm going back to China in March. I'm thinking that will be my last trip to Asia; those 17 - 18 hour plane trips are getting harder to take!! But it is a wonderfully beautiful and different world. Hope you get to see a whole lot of it! smile

Thanks Greg and Stephen... Every little bit helps!

Oh and Grace, have you any idea how envious I am? You are going to China and I hope you have a brilliant time!
I have wanted to go there ever since school days!
Enjoy !!! And find some lighthouses wink

Margret, I am extremely lucky to have these opportunities. This time I will go to Xi'an for the Terracotta Army, the Three Gorges area before it's all inundated, another stop in both Shanghai and Beijing - have to take the new people to the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and the Imperial Palace. Can't have them go to China and not visit those!
