... and fire-proofing in the lamasery had also been renovated, he said. Home to more than 900 monks, the lamasery was built in 1679 and is the largest the Tibetan Buddhist lamasery in Yunnan.

... is diminishing," the Dalai Lama said a few days before his envoys departed from their home in exile in India. "It is very difficult to deal with people who are not sincere." His comments amount to a stunning admission that the Middle Way approach, a policy of compromise and dialogue that the Dalai Lama has advocated for decades, has failed to achieve its goals. Seven months after violent riots in Lhasa, both sides appear to be hardening their positions. Within the Tibetan ...

... very good. The huge Ginwa dept. store is in between the two underground and right round the corner from the Drum is the muslim market where we had gorgeous vegetable dumplings. A few km away is the Dacien Si Temple which used to consist of 1000 rooms I think but nows theres less but enough to be going on with for us to look at the decoration of each and the Big Goose pagoda which had 243 steps and was used to house the emperors treasures.

Pingyao It was refreshing to get to this attractive little city after the hustle and bustle of Beijing. The old town of Pingyao dates back approximately 3000 years and is the only city still surrounded by its original and intact walls from the Ming Dynasty. We were lucky to find a guest house owned by extremely friendly people who spoke perfect English. They made our time there very pleasant and interesting as they gave us a guided tour of the ...
