Donations.

Why are donations needed?

Probably you have noticed that YLW is banner free and it will remain that way because most people find ads very annoying. This web site is not selling you anything, everything you find here is free of charge, which basically means that YLW doesn't generate any inocme.

You can support on-going development of this web site by making a small donation ($5, $10 or $20 would be more than enough).

A lot of time and effort goes into building and maintaining a web site. By donating a small amount of money you will show appreciation for all the work put into creating www.yilongwei.com.

When you click on the button above it will take you to the secure PayPal web site where you can use your credit card or your PayPal account to make your donation. It's safe and very simple to do that (it takes no more than 5-10 minutes). PayPal is owned by ebay.com, one of the most successful Internet companies and they have over 100 million customers all over the world. Tens of thousands of Internet shops use PayPal as preferred method of payment.

If you are not able to make a donation, that's perfectly ok too. Another way to support this web site is to contribute some video or audio material from your trip, write a paragraph on the bulletin board, give advice to other travellers...

In any event we hope you will find the content of this web site useful and interesting...
