         		 The family lives a hard life. They are refugees from kyrgyzstan living on the edge of China along lake Karakul at 3645 m above sea level. The conditions are hard, especially in the winter where food is difficult to get, and roads are inaccessible because of snow conditions. : by joey198655, Views[610]

         		 The reason: The people of Tibet live in one of the world’s harshest environments, while enduring strict surveillance on cultural expression. Regardless, they thrive here, showing enormous dedication and passion for their home land. This is seen all over Tibet through the placement of prayer flags everywhere, from riverside railings to mountaintops.: by annalise, Views[289]
         		 The pilgrimage: In the life of a Buddhist a pilgrimage to a holy place or temple can be the highlight of their spiritual life. Here, pilgrims spill into Jokhang Temple, the centre of Old Town Lhasa and considered the most sacred of all temples in Tibet. Many pilgrims have travelled on foot from the outer reaches of the Tibetan territory, incredible distances which take some years. In 2013 Chinese developers began construction on a modern shopping mall, dramatically altering the area immediately surrounding Jokhang forever.: by annalise, Views[362]
     
    The artist: This mandala painter works in the centre of Old Town Lhasa, in a studio with 10 others. He is a master of his craft but after 30 years of training all artists still consider themselves to be students. The mandala is the Buddhist image of life and the universe existing both within and beyond our body and mind. It depicts the paths to enlightenment – a state desired by all Buddhists, and involves all living things. : by annalise, Views[369]
         		 The monk: This young boy is one of several hundred living in Sera monastery on the outskirts of Lhasa. Every day the boys and men congregate in this courtyard to debate topics ranging from meditation to the politics of foreign countries and beyond. Sera is well known for this practise which provides forward thinking and vast knowledge to the monks of this living, evolving religion. This boy sits, playing the role of the opposition in the debate, resisting the cracking prayer beads and fervent movements of his standing 'positive' partner. : by annalise, Views[410]
         		 The metal worker: This man works downstairs from the painter. He spends his days in the largely outdoor workshop creating three dimensional mandalas (stupa) and decorations for monasteries. He is a highly skilled blacksmith, and one of the few remaining who still work in the traditional fashion after the introduction of the Chinese into Tibet. : by annalise, Views[497]
         		 As the world’s surging superpower, China should become a model for other newly industrializing nations to find the balance between economic growth and environmental conservation. Though much of the eastern half of China is covered with cities, the western half remains largely undeveloped. Chinese businesses and government need to set a new standard in adopting environmentally-aware development policies to protect wild areas such as the Meili Mountains in the fabled land of Shangri-La.: by traveltransmissions, Views[1028]
         		 From the Canton Tower in Guangzhou I saw the sun setting into pollution before it disappeared beyond the horizon. Lenient environmental regulations are destroying the health and vitality of China’s air and water supplies.: by traveltransmissions, Views[867]
     
    The city of Guangzhou is at the heart of China’s developmental dilemma. At the epicenter of the “world’s factory,” the city is simultaneously generating astronomical amounts of wealth and severe levels of pollution. : by traveltransmissions, Views[816]
         		 As China’s economies scale in size, even former markets on the fringe like the selling of exotic animal parts for Traditional Chinese Medicine are pushed into the open. : by traveltransmissions, Views[651]
         		 When thinking about China, outsiders tend to use an image of the Great Wall to symbolize the ancient traditions, sagacious philosophers and ambitious rulers of the Middle Kingdom’s past. Although modern China is characterized by unfathomable levels of growth, her societies and lands are now pressed by tremendous new stresses.: by traveltransmissions, Views[890]
