China Guangxi Bama
The city of Bama
is situated in the Northwestern part of GuangXi Provinces.
Covering an area of 1,971 Square Kilometers, with a population
of 238 thousand, Bama is home to twelve different ethnicities.
Listed as the five officially certificated villages of longevity
by the International Society of Natural Medicine in November
1991, Bama has the highest concentration of centenarians (People
over 100) in the world: 58 out of 220,000 people, centenarians
to total population. Bama, therefore has often been reputably
referred to as the ¡°Village of Longevity, Sanctuary of China.¡±
Bama terrain is mostly rocky and mountainous; farmland is very
sacred and precious to the locals. The highest peak of Bama
extends as far as 1,216 meters off of sea level, while the
lowest point is 221 meters above. About the height of 600 to 800
meters, Bama is severed by the BanYang River, known to locals as
the River of Life, running from north to south. Bama is located
in a tropical area, with an annual temperature of 20.4 C. and
weather relatively mild and gentle throughout the year. Proven
by studies, the air of Bama is especially natural and
refreshing. Researches show that negative ions, which are highly
beneficial to the people body, is vastly abundant in the
atmosphere of Bama. With 2,500 in every cubic centimeter, and
thirty plus thousand in the upper atmospheres of the Banyang
River and the villages, it is 100 to 750 times the amount of
Beijing City.

Bama is also home to great historic events. During the 20's
and 30's, it was
headquarters for many of
the most renowned
revolutionary leaders,
like Deng XiaoPing,
Zhang YungMing, and Dian
PuoQuen. It was here,
where strategies and
central planning was
discussed.
Due to Bama's mountainous terrains, living conditions are very poor. However, in the village of BaTun, a population of 515, is now home to amazingly 7 hundred year old seniors, exceeding the United Nation's longevity mark by 200 times. (UN requires an longevity village to have 7 hundred year old seniors out of a population of 20,000) Due to the lack of educational funding and facilities, children in Bama start school at a late age of 10. Only when they reach the stage of high school, would they be expose to T.V., radios, or other mediums of communication. But statistics show a level of educational success that is unmatchable by many metropolitans; there is practically a teacher in every household, two kids accepted into the world renowned Qinghua University, four others are currently studying abroad, etc..
The village of Bama is listed as one of the ten best traveling sites of the GuangXi Providence. On this mysterious land, a place full of attractions, the Hundred Muo dong (Name number one cave of the world by British Royal Discovery Team), the surreal Zihu lake, the preserved natural forest,and many many more, together with exotic Yao tribe customs, create a rich, must-see traveling site. (See Popular Sites, and Pictures for detail).
In addition to its mystery, Bama is also an area of abundance in nature products. The Roast pig of Bama, pearl-like corn, its sesame goat, banana noodles, just to name a few, are selected by the international medical community as the ¡°Green longevity products¡±. (See Food of Bama for more detailed descriptions.) Major natural resources of Bama include Zinc, Iron, Gold, Antimony, etc,.
Foundational construction for Bama is moving rapidly. Located on the intersection of City 323 Line and State 323, it is chokehold to Southwestern China, 70 Kilometers from the NangQuen railroads. The city is continuously improving its water, electricity, transportation, and communication systems. Banks, insurance, commerce, hospitals, broadcasting and computer web institutions are well established and accessible.
Benefiting the Chinese National Southern Development Encouragement scheme, Bama is enjoying many beneficial national policies. Simultaneously, the municipal government of Bama, has also adjusted a set of more fitting, and state-orientated decrees. Aiming to attract domestic and foreign investors, Bama welcomes you to come relax during vacations, enjoy the celestial sites, and together work towards the lengthening and improvement of your life
