The magazine has recorded the economic and social development as well as daily life on this snowy plateau with photos. Tibet has a vast land, magnificent landscapes, and abundant resources. The unique cultural atmosphere and living condition of the snowy plateau have shaped the distinct character of the Tibetan people and created a rich and splendid culture. In 1959, a democratic reform was carried out for liberation of serfs in Tibet. The movement marks the liberation of millions of serfs in Tibet. Due to its historic significance, the event has become a grand festival that people of all ethnic groups in Tibet always celebrate. On January 19, 2009, the Second Session of the Ninth People’s Congress of the Tibet Autonomous Region decided that March 28 each year would be the anniversary of the liberation of millions of serfs in Tibet.

Randy W Posted March 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) From TheChinaTrips on Facebook in Suzhou. Jiangsu Quote The city of Suzhou is finally showing some stirring of life after many weeks under isolation. The classical gardens of Suzhou have reopened and visitors are starting to trickle in to marvel at the beautiful blossoms of Spring. This is the Humble Administrator Garden (拙政园), the largest of the nine UNESCO World Heritage gardens in Suzhou, and by far the most visited. It's a sprawling complex of numerous ponds, bridges, halls and pavilions, and so many great views it's not possible to list and review them here. . This view here is the most famous in the garden. It's an example of a landscaping technique known 借景 (borrowing scenery). The pagoda in the photo, built a few hundred years before the garden, is actually not the garden, but located over a kilometer away. Due to the ingenuity of the designers, it is added to the scenery of the garden https://www.facebook.com/2358098751081249/posts/3322534707970977/ Edited December 30, 2020 by Randy W (see edit history) 1 Link to comment

The only link to the outside world is over a mountain footpath — a brisk one-hour hike through a steep valley. Revisited by Goldthread on Facebook - a closer look Inside China’s last cave village, where people live in total darkness Quote Here, 18 families totaling about 100 people live in a space measuring over 300 feet wide, 160 feet high, and 750 feet deep. The residents, all part of the Miao ethnic minority in China, lead an agrarian lifestyle controlled by the cave’s distinctive light and weather. Zhongdong in Guizhou Province is considered China’s last cave village. Despite government efforts to relocate them and provide better opportunities, villagers have refused to give up their way of life. “We just don’t want to move.” “I wouldn’t say it’s a very good life,” says Luo Dengguang, a villager in his 40s and already a grandfather. “But here in the cave, we don’t need to deal with the winter cold or summer heat. Government officials have come here many times, but we just don’t want to move.” Quote Another thing they were given but did not want was a cable car from the nearest cement road to the cave, which is under construction. Despite being offered free use of it, villagers thought it would not particularly improve their lives. “This is mainly for tourists,” says Wu Baozhen, 30, one of the few young parents who have stayed to look after their children on their own because the grandparents are ill. “It can carry people but not livestock or crops.” Edited December 30, 2020 by Randy W (see edit history) 1 Link to comment
