On Monday, July 28th, I drove with some of my co-workers from Xiahe down to Langmusi. We were heading down to continue to work on getting our cafe in Langmusi ready to open for business.
We have had problems recently getting permission to enter Langmusi, and that day was no exception. In fact, we were told that we were not allowed in AT ALL, even though we have a business license for our cafe in Langmusi and all of our documents are in order.
We ended up spending 4-5 hours dealing with many high-ranking police officials in that region, trying to get permission to enter Langmusi so that we could continue making preparations to open our cafe whenever tourists are allowed in once again.
The answer at the end of the day was "no". So even those of us who have visas to live in Xiahe, are not even being allowed to travel farther south into other areas such as Langmusi.
The police seemed confident, however, that things should open up in September. I have heard that before ... in May, June, and July, so its hard to know whether to trust them or not.
I guess we will see.
I will post some pictures from this past week as soon as I can...
