Going to Gongga Shan in October? Prepare for cold!
This is a view looking towards Zimei village from down the Buchu valley. The Konka Gompa monastery is round the corner to the left.
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
