probably in the village of Cizhong - well it's where the French folk ended up producing wine in Tibet.
I'll bet not many people knew that until they read it here.

Today the Torch is in Yichang on the Yangtze and there r loadsa great pictures of the area out there including the Three
Gorges dam which does make the Silent Valley Resevoir look a bit mickey mouse.

try http://www.discoveryyangtze.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

and for the Three Gorges dam try http://www.ctgpc.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; --- reckon there was a bit of protesting about it by the locals but we just never heard much about it.

Thanks Paul ! The change may keep Youngman a bit happier?

Maybe "Where roughly is the Olympic Torch now and some useful information 4u about Tibet mate*" would be more accurate?

*If its too long remove the word 'useful'

He died in 1981.

But where he is these days or WHO he is these days - no idea.

today its in Mao Zetong's birthplace which as u may or may not no was the hitherto unknown
town of SHAOSHAN -- which unlike the Maze has its very own railway station - link to photo may follow
or just do yer own google photo search - basically a big room with loadsa wooden benches in long lines.
Makes our own Central Station look positively trendy.
