Since I lived in Linfen (cough, cough) I've kept up with news of that grotty city with a Google Alert. There is a better spin on the province at http://thestar.com.my/columnists/story.asp?file=/2008/3/12/columnists/ziyingbrush/20581640&sec=Ziying's%20Brush
ZIYING'S BRUSH
Shanxi’s Yungang grottoes are renowned for some of the finest Buddhist carvings in China.
WHENEVER China’s coal-rich Shanxi province is in the news, it is usually for the wrong reasons.
Grim images of the darkened skies and soot-covered streets of Linfen, a coal-mining centre in the southern part of the province, have been featured repeatedly in various international media.
