Right on cue, Yushan chasing pot of gold

Welcome to Yushan county in Shangrao, Jiangxi province - a cute little tourist resort that harbors a big dream.

Throughout the area, the ubiquity of billboards and banners featuring the world's top snooker players and an unusually high concentration of billiards clubs provide obvious clues to that dream - to become a global center for all things cue-related.

This week that vision comes into sharp focus with a star-studded cast in town for the third edition of the Yushan Snooker World Open.
