2011，Travelling To Yunnan (Three) part 1

   

        

        Time went quietly and softly the next day, and we just lingered in the old town all day long, shopping, eating , shooting and other stuff. It was of great fun that we danced with the local at twilight. The step style, as a kind of folk dance, was so strange that I couldn’t even keep up with them.(sounds funny?) But I’m quite a lot interested in it, so I uploaded it, and , maybe you’ll like it.

We kept on moving the next morning to, the paradise, heaven, fairyland…( Sorry I can't think of any more words), Shangri-La. The holy place first became famous when had been put into the book Lost Horizon by a distinguished novelist named James Hilton in 1933, then Shangri-La thus presented herself to the whole world. Known to many people, she soon became one of the hottest travelling spots in China.

How free the river runs, and how free I am. haha

                                                  

     We came to the Ganden Sumtseling Monastery. As a Buddhist holy land , it was called the second Potala Palace.

The biggest prayer wheel in the world . it could be rotated with four persons pushing.
