...testing, and fingerprints are lifted. Relatives supply samples of their own DNA in the form of blood and mouth swabs and provide other antemortem information such as the victims' medical records.

With its undulating fairy-tale peaks, snaking rivers and emerald rice paddies, there can be few finer places to dangle from the end of a nylon rope?and that's why Yangshuo is fast emerging as China's rock-climbing capital. You don't have to be Spider-Man either: local operators now cater to everyone from school kids to corporate groups...
