Chuan Nan Xiao Chi, Xianggelila / Shangri-La / Zhongdian (Food)
Cool guy

I've learned some chinese from this guy, and he serves large portions of food at reasonable prices. Try the "Er Si"

Hazel Bar, Xianggelila / Shangri-La / Zhongdian (Bars Entertainment Food Nightlife) Satellite Map
A wee bit pricy

Hazel and Ma are the kindest people. The food is decent, but a bit pricy.

Bus between Zhongdian/Xianggelila and Lhasa, Xianggelila / Shangri-La / Zhongdian (Transportation)
Permit

I think this guy is crazy making money! Fly to Chengdu, where you at almost every travelagency either get a flightticket Chengdu - Lhasa including permit for around 1.990,- RMB Yuan, or a overland permit, actually these are about 5 permits for around 500 Yuan, which allows you to take a bus or go by jeep overland to Lhasa. And these permits are LEGAL. Don\'t know if the permits you get from this guy are legal. Wish you good luck.

Old House Of Abu, Xianggelila / Shangri-La / Zhongdian (Attractions Food) Satellite Map
leave the ladies at home

old house, true, but not worth the visit. Abu is sweet enough, but he'll spend many, many minutes showing you pics of all the other tourists who were suckered in. he'll definitely try and make closer contact with the women out there, and will repeat the same thing about Mao's troops doing something there, which we weren't able to understand even knowing some mandarin. better to just wave from the street!

Daci Si, Chengdu (Attractions)
quiet, peaceful

The temple here has a very big square and just to sit on the steps in the square, time may become still...

The Hump, Kunming (Food Hostels Internet Lodging Transportation) Satellite Map
the party choice

agreeing with wocca, the hump is the place to stay if you want it wild. located just in the centre of town, it's a good place to head out for a good night's party (and have an easy time getting home afterwards... no taxi or hour-long walks needed).

if you'd rather be sober and quiet, check the camellia, or (even more sober) the kunhu hotel. happy trails.

folk custom -- candy making craft, Chengdu (Art)
Untitled Comments

For such candy, they can be made to different shapes, especially animals.

With a compass-liked flat plate and one wooden arrow, you turn round the arrow and then you will get the candy shaped the same as this pattern, which the arrow pointing at.
And it is sometimes the arrow will point at nothing, and then it means you get nothing.

Vics, Beijing (Entertainment Nightclubs Nightlife)
The People are monsters!

I started a campain against this club after i was attacked and beaten to unconsciousness by the 5 male security guards. I am a 23 yar old Australian female.

since i have made this public after the police did nothing to help me or bring justice to the club and its staff. more tahn 2 dozen other people have written to me met o tell me similar stories.

the security guards are heavily built steroid taking violent creatures. they become aggressive very quickly at any hint of trouble taking out aggression by punching whoever may get in their way.

Vics and teh Den are run by the same 2 men and many people have alos been hospitalizied after visiting the Den.
