Drombo - the genial headman of Yulongxi, near Gonga Shan
I recently revisited Yulongxi, where the descendents of Drombo now run a nice guesthouse.
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
