On the road to Tsarung
This is the crude road along the Nu river (Nujiang, or the Salween as Rock called it), from Bingzhongluo to Chawalong (Tsarung). I will write more of my trip when I get back to Australia. I also have plenty of other material to publish including new photos and info from Yongning.

Chongding Catholic church, Bingzhongluo
I'm on the Nujiang river, following in Rock's footsteps throught the communities of Lisu and Nu people in NW Yunnan. I have my 8 year old son with me so won't be doing anything much adventurous.
Lonely grave, Bingzhongluo
This is the grave of Pere Genestier, the French missionary priest who gave Rock shelter during his Mekong-Salween trip that he described in "Through the Great River Trenches of Asia".
