Where Joseph Rock lived near Lijiang
A village scene near the Jade Dragon mountain, close to where Rock made his home. And this is a view of the Jade Dragon mountain near Lijiang
Dr Joseph Rock was an Austrian-American botanist who explored the Tibetan borderlands of Sichuan and Yunnan in the 1920s and 30s. This is about my travels to revisit the places he described in the National Geographic magazine. Any questions? contact me at beijingweek AT gmail
