The Chinese authorities have told tourist agencies to stop safaris in search of the yeti aka abominable snowman, Chinese wildman or yeh-ren, which is said to roam the mountainous central regions. A spokesman for the State Forestry Administration said they could harm the environment. A nature reserve in Hubei province had planned to lure tourists with a sixty-thousand dollar reward for anyone capturing a yeti. Several scientific expeditions have failed to find any trace of the creature. From the newsroom
