  1. Quite a coincidence, Sheila, as you say. I knew little about China until I started researching it this year. I've now written about Hainan, the panda sanctuary near Chengdu (town which was hit by the earthquake), walled town, Pingyao, Shangri-La in Yunnan province, and currently, the Yangtze River. It' all fascinating.

  2. When I visited China on a three week trip some few years ago, I saw many of these natural rock formations and just loved the amazing names the Chinese had chosen for each one.

  3. That is a truly amazing postcard picture. China is a place I would love to visit one day.
