Changed the part which claims that Tibetans mix " only rancid " butter with their tea. This is not generally the case, though it may happen due to poverty, if fresh Yak butter is availible these will be prefered by Tibetans over rancid butter. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.176.29.126 (talk) 10:01, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

caption to the bridge picture[edit]

I think a better caption for the bridge picture would be "replica of ancient bridge". It seems to me that the bridge was torn down and rebuilt sometime between August of 2004 and January, 2007, the times when I was there. This walking and biking bridge has teahouses and lovely shops of crafts from Tibetan artists. No need to misrepresent such an enchanting place that every tourist should stop and walk through.Visitorh (talk) 13:40, 28 January 2009 (UTC)visitorh[reply]

That's fine, VisitorH. I took that photo myself in 2008, but I have had trouble getting information about Ya'an and its history and architecture. I'll make a change now to reflect what you say. But please: have you a published source?

Also, the maps for such geographical divisions as Ya'an ought to show the local capital. Great confusion is possible if we don't distinguish between Ya'an the prefecture and Ya'an the "town" that is its capital. This article does not make a clear distinction.
