More glimpses of Muli monastery ( 四川 木里) and Wachang
Here's some video of the area around Muli monastery. It all looks very green and fertile because it is the middle of the rainy season - August. Usually it is much more bleak and brown than this. The video also shows a bit of the valley around Wachang - the nearby small town where most Muli people live. As you can see, the inhabitants of this so called "Shangri-La" are more interested in mobile phones and motorbikes than in eternal life!

Hike to Muli part 3: descent from Gibboh Pass
Here is the video of my hike to Muli in August 2004. The scenery is very green because it is the wet season. This section shows the descent frm the Gibboh Pass at about 12,000 feet down towards the town of Wachang. It was getting late in the day so we hitched a ride near the end and the jeep got stuck in the river. This was the only traffic we saw on the Yongning to Muli track.
