		<description><![CDATA[The mellow little town of Dali is my favourite China oasis, my retreat when the pace of the cities seems too frenetic. It&#8217;s the capital of the minority Bai people in the southwestern province of Yunnan. The centre of the walled old town is China-lite, a tourist-friendly strip of hippyish cafés, but outside it&#8217;s pretty and relaxed, [...]]]></description>

I had slipped into the habit of sleeping for four hours and then getting up for four hours, it didn&#8217;t matter whether it was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A teacherish voice called from the train loudspeaker, exhorting the passengers to wake up please, we would soon be arriving.

But that&#8217;s what Franco Tolu is doing, fitting together and holing slender lengths of reed. &#8216;When you&#8217;ve been making launeddas pipes for thirty years,&#8217; he says, &#8216;it doesn&#8217;t take thirty minutes.&#8217;

Surely it&#8217;s only Shanghai residents who twitch their curtains open of a morning and check how the skyline has changed. This is the fastest growing city in the world, [...]]]></description>
