Women's Town Longshuihu
It's probably one of the last nations I would think would embrace sex tourism, but I would be wrong: Chinese tourism authorities are seeking investment to build a novel concept attraction -- the world's first "women's town", where men get punished for disobedience, an official said on Thursday... When tour groups enter the town, female tourists would play the dominant role when shopping or choosing a place to stay, and a disobedient man would be punished by "kneeling on an uneven board" or washing dishes in restaurant, media reports said.It's not quite the Other World Kingdom, but I suppose they have to start somewhere.  The motto isn't very snappy though, so they might need to work on that. But at least the bowling court and fishing spot seem like big attractions too. Odd that official website doesn't mention any of the "women's town" in the history.Thanks to Kirk for calling this tidbit to my attention.
