China’s Western Frontiers
September 1 to 20, 2012

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!

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 threestar
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

Faculty Leader
LYMAN P. VAN SLYKE, 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.
