The knowledge of reproductive health among the old women living in the rural areas of West China is very scarce.
Paper long abstract:
The Aging of Population in China has become a currently notable issue, especially for the old women. Most of those old women are the susceptible population of some kinds of reproductive related diseases after menopause, whereas their knowledge of reproductive health is hypothesized to be very scarce, especially for those living in the rural areas of West China. Though some previous studies have been done to explore the such situation among the old women in Chinese west rural areas, the related evidence is still scarce.
An epidemiological study was conducted for 979 eligible Chinese old women aged 60-75 years old from Sichuan Province in 2010. Descriptive statistic method was used to ferret out the situation of their knowledge about reproductive health .
According to our results, the participants in this study were lack of the knowledge of reproductive health. More than 51% of them were not awared of the relationship between healthy behaviours and the incidences of the related diseases. More then 61% of them had not correct knowledge about Sexually Transmitted Diseases(STDs),such as HIV/AIDS. Even just about the percentages of those who knew the names of diseases were still very low. For some related malignant tumors, about 34.6% and 29.3% of them heard about cervical cancer and endometrium cancer, respectively. Similar situation was found about non-malignant diseases.
To promote the reproductive health of the old women in Chinese west rural areas, there's still a long way to go. Further studies should be done to deal with the problems.

Paper long abstract:
The Nakhi group is an ethnic minority group with slightly northern origins that is mainly located in the old city of Lijiang, Yunan, China. In December 1997, Lijiang succeeded in declaring its heritage to the world and once more the harmonious culture and essence of the ancient city of Lijiang was presented to the world.
One of Lijiang's special cultural attractions is the Nakhi women dressed in their traditional costumes. Upon observing these women, one can see that they are rustic and warm-hearted, as well as independent and able to easily fend for themselves. Through their unique diligence and work ethic, they are able to not only support their families but also drive their society forward. Throughout other historical

Paper long abstract:
Yunnan tourism in the 21st century needs the sustainable development both in tourist exploitation and regional protection of environmental resources. The tourist industry and diversity of culture in Yunnan Province should be combined with each other. Travel arrangements need to take the space arrangement of climate-sensitive region and the real estate ownership into account, and to separate collective and personal resources. Based on narrating and reviewing the existing research literatures on Yunnan Tourism, this paper proposed their modest recommendations for tourism planning in the 21st century.
