    "Romance in Thin Air? Filming in Yunnan at 3000m, Angelababy says even oxygen is a luxury"

    When you're in the side of Yunnan that's close to Tibet, the air IS definitely thin (less noticeable if you gradually go up there). Yunnan is a very interesting place - I did visit there in 2007. They do sell "oxygen in a can" in Shangrila. I'm glad they had parts of this season's "Amazing Race" in Yunnan. I love meeting and learning about the ethnic minorities there. :)

    It's just my guess, I haven't seen Angelababy associated with Romance but it's the only film I've heard that's currently in production there. Or, it could be Peter Chan's Wu Xia? Can't picture that, though.

    I imagine it takes time to get accustomed to the altitude. 3000m is pretty high up. Earlier, Miriam and the others went up a few weeks ahead of shooting to get acclimatized.

    Yunnan geography is more diverse than I knew. I remember snapping some pics of two Miao dancers performing in a small shop in Shanghai while on a tour back in 2002.
