the Dragon (longnian龍年) . And if you were really paying attention, you would have spotted that it’s technically the Year of the Wood Dragon, since wood (mu木) was the basic element that came around as we rang in the Lunar New Year in 2024.  \nWhat you may not know is that you should not be getting a new puppy this year, you should avoid having your bed in the northwest corner of your bedroom, and you should definitely not marry anyone born in the Year of the Tiger – if tranquillity and harmony is what you seek in your marriage. More importantly, though, since gold and yellow are the auspicious colours associated with the wood dragon in Chinese astrology, you might want to make regular use of that mustard-coloured jacket from the back of the wardrobe and maybe even treat yourself to some nice new 24-carat jewellery!  \nAll of which brings us to this very special Yellow Edition of ASIAN Geographic, which is positively gleaming with gold-hued and yellow-tinged stories. In “All That Glitters Is Gold”, on page 20, discover the significance of the precious yellow metal not just in the Sinic world but across Asia. Travel with us along “The Mighty Yellow”(page 72) and explore what makes China’s second-largest river so unique. And in “Yellow in Peril”(page 62), learn why yellow seahorses (along with dozens of other Hippocampus species) are dying in terrifying numbers – and no, traditional Chinese medicine is not the real culprit.  \nIan Bongso-Seldrup  \nP H O T O + V I D E O + A R T C O M P E T I T I O N  \nBEST OF SHOW  \nLIVE JUDGING SUNTEC SINGAPORE CONVENTION & EXHIBITION CENTRE  \n06/04  \n20  \n25  \nOfficial Publication SUBMISSION PERIOD Organised by  \n JAN 1-MAR 1, 2025   \nPhoto: PT Hirschfield (Australia) Winner of VOO 2024-Compact Camera Photo of the Year  \nIn association with  \nAN EXCITING EDITORIAL JOURNEY WITH ASIAN GEOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE IN 2023–2024!  \nCommemorating  \nof Bringing Asia to the World  \nColours & Celebrations  \nCollect All Our Timeless Colour Editions and Our Special Silver Jubilee Edition!  \n[www.asiangeo.com](www.asiangeo.com)  \nSUBSCRIPTIONS  \n[subscribe@asiangeo.com](subscribe@asiangeo.com)  \nEDITORIAL SUBMISSIONS [editor@asiangeo.com](editor@asiangeo.com)  \nTHE PINK EDITION  \nAG No. 160  \nBeginning our unique series of colour-themed issues, The Pink Edition looks at the sides of Asia with a pinkish hue, from the rose-tinged alleyways of Jaipur, India’s storied “Pink City”, to the coralcoloured beaches of the Philippines.
