 | | Forty kilometers north of Gongshan at the end of a narrow, partially paved highway-with a 300-meter drop straight into the Salween River-is the village of Bingzhongluo. |
 | | Around Fugong, some 130 kilometers south of Gongshan, they ferret out hunters who, once they were convinced that these curious inquirers were not going to expose them, gradually show them more and more of their accumulated animal pelts and bones. |
 | | Many are from unusual and endangered animals: muntjac, takin, red coral, Chinese coral, dhole (a wild dog), serow (similar to a goat), red panda, flying squirrel, giant squirrel, palm civet, and leopard cat. |
