It is the source of the Detian Waterfall(德天瀑布). The ancient bridge here is splendid and magnificent, consisting of 15 stone arch bridges. And the best time to take photos for the bridge is before sunset. If the weather is good, you can also enjoy starry sky at night. #China #Guangxi #Chinatravel 1 Link to comment

Randy W Posted January 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 (edited) from the NatGeo - zip lines In this remote corner of China, locals use zip lines to get around When few bridges crossed the Nu River, locals found a creative way to transport themselves, their children, and their livestock over its rushing waters. Quote I located the zip line closest to a town and headed there on market day with my assistant, Chuan Jianhua, and our driver, Zhu Linwen (both members of the Lisu minority). A steady stream of people were already making the crossing. I rented a harness and pulley from one of them. With a camera around my neck and film in my pocket, I hooked the pulley onto the return cable and eased forward until I reached midway above the river. The waters did look angry. Dangling over the Nu, I photographed people crossing until those waiting to return home became impatient with me. I pulled myself back to the roadside to let them pass, then hooked onto the cable again for another try. After a morning hanging from the cable and making pictures from the riverbank, I decided to wrap it up. . . . His family tied a rope sling around the cow, hooked it on the pulley, and gave the animal a push toward us. Flailing its legs as it became airborne, the cow zipped down the steep angle of the cable but lost momentum where the line flattened out. It dangled there kicking, its lows of distress audible above the river’s roar. Boyi pulled himself hand over hand back to the cow. Once there the Lisu villager spun himself around, locked his ankles around the cow’s harness, and began hauling himself and the cow back up to the road. I reached the cable’s end just as Boyi and the cow closed in. For a fraction of a second, my camera was in Boyi’s face. The view was immediate and intimate—completed by the angry river below. Many years later, the dams have not yet been built, but this zip line has been replaced by a bridge.

Randy W Posted January 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 from China Pictorial on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ChinaPic/posts/3444794265645938/ Quote Jia Guangjian has been exploring the centuries-old flower-and-bird genre of classical Chinese ink painting for years. His work preserves the elegance of the painting style, showing a scholarly taste essential to Chinese cultural traditions. Meanwhile, he employs sketch-like, abstract strokes to render a refreshing, modern spirit to his creations. Jia's ongoing exhibition at the Art News of China gallery in Beijing shows dozens of flower-and-bird paintings, depicting vigorous scenes of blossoms throughout the year. He hopes the collection brings the audience peace, warmth and hope as the COVID-19 pandemic sweeps the world. Link to comment
