However, very interesting is that only males were listed in the book until about the 1930s then they started to include females.
I hadn't visited this thread in a while, so hadn't seen your comment Susan. What came to mind when I read it was that this is not so different from Europe or the Americas. It was less than one hundred years ago that the 19th amendment to the US constitution was entered into law. And if you think back to your own experiences in the 1960s and 70s...
Well, you know what I'm saying.

What's the story of the statue by the yellow forsythia bush? It kind of looks like the Chinese version of St. Francis?

Our daughter has been teaching in Liuyang (Hunan) since August and, so far, she hasn't mentioned anything about the air quality, so I'm assuming it's ok there

I'm sure those statues are not random. Each one has a unique individual face. They must be Buddhist saints or famous historical figures?

the via ferrata looks fun. except for the crowds
interesting erosion patterns there-- that fluting makes it look like limestone from a distance

On the unknown statues with the yellow ribbons, you can't help but wonder what the story might be.
Like this famous statuary, which has a long and involved story behind it:

I gotta admit i like looking at the shots of the crowds more than those of rock.. Any shots of food? How much do they get for one of them pelts?
Thanks for the mind vacation, Randisi!

Thanks....I'm a natural world kind of guy. When I go to a country my interests are almost entirely on the geography, geology, flora and fauna. The people and their culture are way down the line.
I know that in China, with 1.3 billion people, crowds of homo sapiens are the rule rather than the exception. Last year my wife and I went to the Siguniang area above Chengdu. The main valley traversing below Siguniang was thick with treckers BUT you only had to get off of the main trail and up into a side valley where the only paths were made by Himalayan Blue Sheep to experience a refreshing and beautiful wildness.
"....two paths diverged in a wood and I took the one less travelled by..."
