Ngawa archive: Langmusi, Huanglong, Mt. Siguniang, Ruoergai, and Tibetan highlands. Scenic beauty, spiritual wellness, and personal reflections.
As of May 2025, I’ve been to 33 world heritage sites. However, I lost my Ha Long Bay photos that I took on 2007-10-22, because of the shutdown of WebShots :(. Ha Long Bay-Cat Ba Archipelago (672, natural, 1994), Quang Ninh and Hai Phong, Vietnam Hoi An Ancient Town (948, cultural,1999), Quang Nam, Vietnam Angkor […]
This morning, I went to visit the Potatso National Park in Shangri-La. The transfer bus to the inside of the park was the longest I’ve ever sit. The surrounding somehow reminded me of the Flower Lake (Hua Hu) in Ruoergai (Zoigê) which I visited in 2019. The elevation of this place was also the same, […]
🏙️⛰🌊 The prosperity of the world is finally no match for the simplicity and tranquility of the mountains and rivers. // 繁华世景，终不敌这山河简静。 Fánhuá shì jǐng, zhōng bù dí zhè shānhé jiǎn jìng. // Phồn hoa thế cảnh, chung bất địch giá sơn hà giản tĩnh. // Cảnh thế giới phồn hoa cuối cùng cũng không […]
[1,000 Days Ago In Huanglong] 🌿🌍🍞 Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit, and as vital to our lives as water and good bread. — Edward Abbey // 自然不是奢侈品，而是人类精神的必需品。它对我们的生活至关重要，就好像水和面包一样。 Zìrán bùshì shēchǐ pǐn, ér shì rénlèi jīngshén de bìxūpǐn. Tā duì wǒmen de shēnghuó zhì guān zhòngyào, jiù hǎoxiàng shuǐ […]
[1,000 days ago, I was in Mounigou.] 🍷💧🤔 In life, you will meet two kinds of people, some are like wine and some are like water. The difference between them is that wine is unforgettable and water is hard to give up. // 生命中你会遇到两种人，有些像酒，有的似水，他们的区别在于，酒难忘，水难舍。 Shēngmìng zhòng nǐ huì yù dào liǎng zhǒng rén, yǒuxiē xiàng […]
[Arbor Day in China – 植树节] 🌳 A special tree I saw in Changpinggou Valley at Mt. Siguniang in Sichuan: Ama Tree (阿妈树). Although the trunk is old, it uses the remaining nutrients to nurture new shoots. The whole tree gave birth to 199 new lives. The withering branches point to Shuangqiao Valley, Changpinggou Valley, […]
💍🤔🔒 Actually, if you get married or not, you will regret it. The cats in the alley are free, but they have no home. The dogs in the fence have a home, but they have to keep their heads down for the rest of their lives. // 其实吧 就是，结不结婚都会后悔，巷子里的猫很自由，但是没有归宿，围栏里的狗有归宿，但一辈子都要低着头。 Qíshí ba jiùshì, jié bù jiéhūn […]
So 2 years ago today I left the rainy Ruoergai for Langmusi, a place they called “Oriental mini-Switzerland”. I hadn’t been climbing for nearly two days, after I checked in the hostel, I had to go up the hill nearby. It wasn’t as near as I thought, but the feeling of being alone and quiet […]
🌍👋😔 Few joys on this earthly plane, Many goodbyes on life’s long lane. // 人间欢乐少， 陌上别离多。 Rénjiān huānlè shǎo, Mò shàng biélí duō. // Nhân gian hoan lạc thiểu, Mạch thượng biệt ly đa. // Đời người vui chơi được mấy, Trên đường bao cuộc chia ly. P.s.: Picture taken in Maerkang (Barkam), Ngawa (Aba) […]
