Whoops, in the flurry of National Day travel, forgot to finish the rest the Jiangxi trip. Went to Wuyuan after Sanqingshan, basically a cluster of Ming-era villages.

However, after seeing how folks here still use hand-powered farming machinery and live in housing that shows little technological improvement from the original Ming era, I'd say that tourism money has become a necessity.

And on that note, I can now finally celebrate my full transition to adulthood. I have been called an "Aiyi" by my new little friend.
