I'm aghast that they have no fence on the edge of that cliff walkway. I think they should need to provide an ambulance down below.
That cliff has a good view but is scary
It sure is.
I was thinking the same thing. But looking at that picture carefully it looks like there are vertical sheets of glass right on the edge.
It’s difficult to see but shows up best near the extreme right side of the picture. (It’s clear but has a very faint greenish tint).
Yes, now that I look more closely I see those sheets of glass - looking at the right hand side of the image the line of the top of them is seen on the bodies of the people close to the edge on the right, and at the bottom of where the sheets join you can see base "feet" for the glass sheets.
The picture of the sheep is very pretty
...and peaceful.
To make the drone light show clearer check this out...
I wonder how they do that.
How do they do that? It’s magic.
Either it’s because over many centuries ancient Chinese monks mastered many magical practices — or else perhaps it was developed by people in more modern times because they watched too many Harry Potter movies 🍿. (With Chinese subtitles of course).
Maybe it's just a big cobweb type of thing with little lights attached, with a few drones lifting it up.
Why do they have a Yoghurt Festival? I didn’t think the Chinese ate yoghurt.
Just realized it’s probably a Tibetan thing, not Chinese. And my guess would be it’s probably made from Yak milk not cow milk (?).
Apparently the Chinese (and in Tibet which is now Chinese) have been eating yogurt for about 3000 years. In our fridge we have both the drinkable and eatable yogurt - we drink and eat it quite often.
I guess I was surprised by the eating of Yoghurt because I never saw it in Chinese restaurants.
The article you linked to mentions Hoisin Sauce and Oyster Sauce. I’ve had both and like them.
I’ve always liked Yoghurt. And recently started using the drinkable kind (in the US. the drinkable kind is called “Kefir”.)
I don't think I've ever had oyster sauce, but without knowing what it was I've probably had hoisin sauce.
You can say that again. Oh, you did.
I’ve always liked Yoghurt. And recently started using the drinkable kind (in the US. the drinkable kind is called “Kefir”.)
I drink one "Kefir" almost every day. Although the wording on the one-cup sized package it comes in which also has a straw attached is almost all in Chinese, it has one statement in English that is really strange: "Adopt a cow".
