Comment by Zanzari

High atop the frigid northern peaks of the Kun-Lai Summit looms the Temple of the Tiger, an ancient training ground protected by an elite force of martial priests, along with the spirit of the White Tiger itself. Deeper into the mountains is the hideout of the Shado-pan: a mysterious order charged with protecting Pandaria from the dark things buried beneath its surface. When the isolated people of Kun-Lai are threatened by marauders from the west and a Zandalari troll menace invading its northern shores, they turn to the Alliance and Horde for help.

There's a tuskarr named Wally on the small island at the center of the north shore who, at the moment, gives away Toasted Fish Jerky. If you ask him how he got to Pandaria he says "The time has come, my little friend, to talk of other things." then a random rhyme.

How odd.

Comment by Serael

For those who aren't aware, this is a reference to Alice In Wonderland. 'The time has come, my little friend, to talk of other things' is a repeated line by the Walrus, in the 'Walrus & The Carpenter' section of the film.

Comment by scharky

Wally is a cute name for a walrus.

"The Walrus and The Carpenter"
by Lewis Carroll
Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There (1872)

The sun was shining on the sea,
Shining with all his might:
He did his very best to make
The billows smooth and bright--
And this was odd, because it was
The middle of the night.

The moon was shining sulkily,
Because she thought the sun
Had got no business to be there
After the day was done--
"It's very rude of him," she said,
"To come and spoil the fun!"

The sea was wet as wet could be,
The sands were dry as dry.
You could not see a cloud, because
No cloud was in the sky:
No birds were flying overhead--
There were no birds to fly.

The Walrus and the Carpenter
Were walking close at hand;
They wept like anything to see
Such quantities of sand:
"If this were only cleared away,"
They said, "it would be grand!"

"If seven maids with seven mops
Swept it for half a year.
Do you suppose," the Walrus said,
"That they could get it clear?"
"I doubt it," said the Carpenter,
And shed a bitter tear.

"O Oysters, come and walk with us!"
The Walrus did beseech.
"A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk,
Along the briny beach:
We cannot do with more than four,
To give a hand to each."

The eldest Oyster looked at him,
But never a word he said:
The eldest Oyster winked his eye,
And shook his heavy head--
Meaning to say he did not choose
To leave the oyster-bed.

But four young Oysters hurried up,
All eager for the treat:
Their coats were brushed, their faces washed,
Their shoes were clean and neat--
And this was odd, because, you know,
They hadn't any feet.

Four other Oysters followed them,
And yet another four;
And thick and fast they came at last,
And more, and more, and more--
All hopping through the frothy waves,
And scrambling to the shore.

The Walrus and the Carpenter
Walked on a mile or so,
And then they rested on a rock
Conveniently low:
And all the little Oysters stood
And waited in a row.

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."

"But wait a bit," the Oysters cried,
"Before we have our chat;
For some of us are out of breath,
And all of us are fat!"
"No hurry!" said the Carpenter.
They thanked him much for that.

"A loaf of bread," the Walrus said,
"Is what we chiefly need:
Pepper and vinegar besides
Are very good indeed--
Now if you're ready, Oysters dear,
We can begin to feed."

"But not on us!" the Oysters cried,
Turning a little blue.
"After such kindness, that would be
A dismal thing to do!"
"The night is fine," the Walrus said.
"Do you admire the view?

"It was so kind of you to come!
And you are very nice!"
The Carpenter said nothing but
"Cut us another slice:
I wish you were not quite so deaf--
I've had to ask you twice!"

"It seems a shame," the Walrus said,
"To play them such a trick,
After we've brought them out so far,
And made them trot so quick!"
The Carpenter said nothing but
"The butter's spread too thick!"

"I weep for you," the Walrus said:
"I deeply sympathize."
With sobs and tears he sorted out
Those of the largest size,
Holding his pocket-handkerchief
Before his streaming eyes.

"O Oysters," said the Carpenter,
"You've had a pleasant run!
Shall we be trotting home again?'
But answer came there none--
And this was scarcely odd, because
They'd eaten every one.

Random fun thing: spam slow fall (mages) or equivalent while facing south west from Neverest Pinnacle, you can float all the way to The Underbough in Townlong Steppes!

Comment by 451080

In the North Wind Tavern, in Zouchin Village, I happened upon a pair of villagers having an interesting conversation. One was seated at a table where upon there sat a jar of bugs.

Zouchin Villager says: I found this jar of bugs in a shack in the middle of Kun-Lai. I didn't think anything of it until I saw the letters...
Zouchin Villager says: What letters? Oh, the ones under the lid? It's probably just someone's intials. It doesn't mean anything.
Zouchin Villager says: It has to be a message! Maybe even a clue to something important!
Zouchin Villager says: Don't be ridiculous. It's just a jar full of bugs. It's gross if you ask me.
Zouchin Villager says: You just don't get it! This could be a herald to the end times!
Zouchin Villager says: That's crazy talk! See, this is why we shouldn't leave the village!
Zouchin Villager says: Well, I'm going to follow the clue and see where it leads me!
Zouchin Villager says: You do that. I bet it's just going to lead you in a giant circle and you'll never find the answer!

I lol'ed.

(For those that do not know, this is a reference to Skyrim, the various bugs in jars and the massive conspircy that evolved because of it. Linky)

Comment by Hawksong

OK! I have been all over the zone - though perhaps I haven't done all the quests - but I cannot find the "grummle bazaar" or the Peak of Serenity. I don't happen to use a coords addon. Any hints anyone can give me?

Comment by 1042140

to get to Kun-Lai Summit there is a pathway in Valley of the Four Winds just north of the flightpath called Grassy Cline(around 70,24 if you have coords). The path will lead you into The Veiled Star zone which there are a few quest in there you can do as well and another flightpath called Tavern in the mists(around 56,76 if you have coords). Keep going north on the path in the veiled star up to the place called The Ancient Passage. There is a quest right at the end of the path by the water. Get the quest then jump in the boat that is right there in the water. The boat will then lead you to Binan Village in Kun-Lai Summit(which is southeast on the map(around 72,91 coords)

Comment by Eralson

Possibly named for the Kunlun mountains in China. The character used to write "Kun" in the Chinese version of the game doesn't really mean anything and is used primarily for place names, the most notable being the Kunlun mountains.

Comment by Freon

Is it just me, or does the zone map of Kun-Lai Summit (just the zone itself, ignore adjacent zones) look vaguely like the overall shape of North America, or at least continental USA + Canada? With the darker orange parts being United States and the snowy parts being Canada?

Comment by Ainhin

Hello Borean Tundra! I missed you so!

Comment by Oexi

If you are like some people *cough cough* and think swimming there is a good idea, know that you will have to go all the way up to 75.9 35.3 (map) to get out of the water, since the coastline is mainly made up of very high and steep cliffs. But I can confirm it is possible to get there this way.

To get out I hearthed to Orgrimmar, but when I was later trying to get back to questing, I realized I was missing connecting flight locations from Honeydew Village and I had to ride back. I didn't swim the second time. There is a path starting at about 71.1 22.5 (map) in Valley of the Four Winds.

Comment by akumaxx

Binan Village? In Mandarin it shall be Bin'an though.

Comment by JohnPWest

If you want to totally skip the Summit and still link up your flight pasts (Eastwind/Westwind are still on fire), you need to get the FPs at One Keg and Kota Base Camp.

What reputation gains can we get for achievements because usually reputation doesnt give what i really like for most factions greater items, and/or looms but most of all mounts!

I want to mount some people! Taming beasts are so cool though
