Guangxi would be possible, but Longji in Guangxi is a very small mountain village. I guess I?e seen all 20 people living there.

But what do you mean with B612??? No help. The earth - don? get too exact, someone might guess where you are from:-)
Maybe you live on the moon!

And what about the picture?

Come on, I? not James Bond from the secret service, don? worry about your identity:-)

Ah, you just try to change the topic - cheap tricks!

Oh, you?e been to Yunnan, great. It? a pitty that I missed Yunnan (Kunming, Dali, Lijing, Zhongdian and so on must be great).
Where did you go in Yunnan?

Datong is very interesting! There are amazing sights like the Yungong Caves with more than 50.000 Buddha statues with a height from a few centimeters up to 17 or 20 meters.
A second highlight is the Hanging Monastery a little bit outside of Datong at a cliff of a holy mountain.
The city itself also offers some nice Temples but the ptoblem with Datong is that there is a big coal industry, which pollutes the air quite massive. Still I think it? always worth a visit, only 6h from Beijing by train.

oops, cheap tricks????
i never expect a gentleman would talk to a lady like this.
anyway, I have been to Deqin, Zhongdian, Lijiang, Dali in Yunnan.

I like Dunhuang very much.

I would like go to Lanzhou and Sangke Prairie.

Do u feel a little bit embarrassing-only the two of us chat here, no new member comes to join us!

Yao and Tibetian people are totally different. Difficult to compare.
Of course they are both minorities and they try to keep there cultural roots alive, which I think is necessary. They keep their traditional clothes, traditional housing, and so on. In Longji they live in beautiful wood houses, I try to add some pictures later.

I went there only for a day trip, but I enjoyed it very much!

But it was a pitty that in march the famous rice terraces where not ready (green) yet. Still the view over the mountains full of rice terraces was great!

To choose the place I like best in China is impossible, because there are so many totally different places which all have their fascinating sides - I really have to think hard about that.

Hope one day all trains in China would like the ones running between Canton and Shenzhen but at the current price.

But yes, it is strange that nobody else is writing here.

I certainly have to go to Yunnan, too.
