The Stone Forest (ShiLin 石林) in YunNan province

JuYong Pass is an interesting section of the Great Wall, close to Beijing (slightly nearer than BaDaLing along the same valley), has a steep climb on the west side.

A picturesque ascent. Part of the ZhangJiaJie scenic area.

An enchanting water town on the outskirts of Shanghai, ZhuJiaJiao retains it's ancient charm ... The name literally translates as 'Zhu Family home/corner', reflecting its earliest origins. The town lies on the south side of the YangTse River and has many picturesque canals crossed by hundreds of original Ming and Qing dynasty bridges.

This city lies on a beautiful island in HangZhou Bay. The island is 500square kilometers in size and connected to the mainland by a bridge.

Sometimes in browsing the web disparate things just seem to come together, as here. Two different popular singing shows, one an established artist, one a teen on a first audition; one common theme - 'this girl is on fire'. In the first video, from 'I am a singer', I was so struck by the gusto of the performance. The cut-aways are to the other competitors; one can feel that the knives were out (in some cases) but she said 'take that', and nailed it .

Between GuiLin and YangShuo, GuangXi province.

Starting with a beautiful timelapse ... Followed by a look around the city, including Green Lake.
