Summary/Abstract

This article analyzes mobility from the coastal region to the city of Lijiang, Yunnan. It presents the idea of home as an entry point to illuminate how a complex matrix of political-economic power can structure the use and interpretation of built heritage. First, the article explains why outside business people move to Lijiang. Second, it sketches out the conditions of mobility to Lijiang and explains the tensions between locals and outsiders. This research explores how the practices of outside businesspeople provoke and shape the politics of built heritage in Lijiang, and links these practices to the broader agendas of heritage ownership, local-outsider tensions and China's ongoing socioeconomic transition.
