What do Yosemite and YA have to do with China?
The United States Department of the Interior National Park Service has formal international agreements with these two Chinese parks. Like Yosemite, both are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, both are mountain parks, and both are popular to the point of having people management issues. Our former Superintendent and several of Yosemite’s Division Chiefs have spent time in both parks. Almost a dozen Chinese park rangers have spent terms of 1-4 months learning in Yosemite.
