Tibet
Tibet – Potala Palace, surrounded by the breathtaking mountains on all sides, with prayer flags flapping in the constant breezes represents true exotic travel destinations.
Tibetan praying stones and prayer flags
Tibetan praying stones and prayer flags – scattered throughout the region, one can find praying stones and prayer flags. These can represent good wishes to family members who have passed, bad fortune changing into good fortune, and promotion of peace and good will
Xian
Xian- as a student of history, the Terracotta Army of Emperor Qin Shi Huang has always interested and fascinated me. What an amazing archaeological find this was! A trip to China must include a visit to Xi’an. And the food is pretty good, too!
Tibet
Tibet – While visiting the Tibetan region of China, or any western mountainous area, for that matter, always try local transportation. In this case – the yak. One of the strongest and sturdiest beasts of burdens anywhere in the world, the steady yak has been an important part of herder life throughout the region
Kashgar City
Kashgar City – Also called Kashi, this oasis city in Xinjiang is such an amazing and unusual place. Situated in the high mountainous regions of western China, the 2,000 year influences of Arab, Muslim, Turkish, Mongol and Han have made this city quite the melting pot of cultures and beliefs. The result – a city as timeless as any city you can visit in the world today.
