Chengdu Mixes Chips, Bytes, Pandas and iPhones on China's Western Frontier |
Best known as a place to see pandas, sample spicy Sichuan food, and trek to Tibet, Chengdu is aiming high, trying to take on a new identity as a tech innovation hub in western China, following the lead of Silicon Valleys in Shanghai and Beijing.
Judgying by my recent tech exploration in Chengdu, this formula is beginning to show some results. The startup trend was particularly noticeable among the switched-on technopreneurs I recently interviewed in Chengdu such as Kevin Yang (R), the founder of Tap4Fun, his third startup.
While I was visiting Kevin, a well-known Shanghai venture capitalist dropped in. That sure was a tip-off that Chengdu matters.

Wi-Fi (& Fun) On The Wyoming Range
Today, in our always on world of communications, you can travel to even remote 15,000-acre ranches in Wyoming and still stay connected as I did in my cabin (above).
Type-A personalities and workaholics might fear they'll miss a VIP conference call if they take a few days of R&R for some fly fising, horse back riding or just plain ole buffalo gazing out West. Cell phone reception can be spotty in the high altititude of the Rocky Mountains, but you can still fit in emailing and Skype chat as exercises at newly wired-up ranches.
Take the Brush Creek Ranch, which opened just last summer for outside visitors, as an example. The ranch, some 75 miles west of Laramie and not far from the Colorado-Wyoming state line, has been outfitted as a cross between a boutique retreat and a fishing lodge.
