         		 The village in the earlier photos seen from the distance. This photo was taken in September. I saw another one hanging up in our hostel taken in Spring and the greenery looked stunning.: by tonto, Views[254]
         		 Can't remember the name of the monastery I'm afraid. However, the monks were happy to let us take photos and we were happy to pay for the priviledge.: by tonto, Views[361]
         		 Well excuse my ignorance, but I had no idea there were large, practising Muslim communities in Gansu province. This is the town of Linxia, taken from the bus from Xiahe back down to Lanzhou.: by tonto, Views[395]
         		 Linxia, Gansu province. I was there in Sept. 2005 and it was a 6 hour journey to Xiahe over awful roads in an overcrowded minibus. I felt strangely overawed when I found myself seated beside one of the monks from Labrang Monastery. Until he threw up all over me from car sickness. At least I had lots of spare water to share with him. We saw roadworks most of the way to Xiahe and apparently the govt are building a highway from Lanzhou cutting the journey time to 3 comfortable hours. : by tonto, Views[449]

    Ming Tombs where a number of emporers were buried. The entrance to this tomb is a secret, all of the workers were killed after building it so they couldn't tell anyone.: by machel, Views[499]
         		 The Bandaling section of the great wall outside of Beijing.: by machel, Views[2244]

         		 This was at a very cool tea house where we got a demonstration on traditional chinese teas and tried a bunch which ranged from terrible (like rotting fish terrible) to the best tea that we've ever had.: by machel, Views[487]
         		 Rachel trying to master the Korean BBQ where the grill is on the table and they bring the raw vegetables and meats. Very good, again the secret is in the sauce.: by machel, Views[643]
