DunHuang is situated in a rich oasis within the Gobi Desert that includes Crescent Lake. DunHuang held a strategic position at the crossroads of the ancient Southern Silk Route and the main road leading from India via Lhasa to Mongolia and Southern Siberia, as well as the entrance to the narrow HeXi Corridor, which led straight to the heart of the northern China plains and the ancient capitals of Chang`An (known today as Xi`An) and LuoYang. The Gobi Desert is a `rain shadow desert`, formed by the Himalayan mountain range blocking rain-carrying clouds from the Indian Ocean.

A beautiful port city in southeast China`s FuJian province ...

Filmed in July 2013. With Sticker Travel. First film shows the village of HongCun in AnHui province. Scenes from the film `Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon` were filmed in HongCun, which is close to the south slope of Mount HuangShan and a UNESCO World Heritage site. The second film shows some places from WuYuan County, JiangXi province, including LiKeng village. Many of the well-preserved structures here date back to the Tang Dynasty, around 700 AD.

Near LuoYang, provincial capital of HeNan, central China. There is a LaoZi Cultural Park near the foot of the mountain and a cable car is available to reach the top. The ancient sage LaoZi (in modern PinYin though one will still also see Lao-Tse or Lao-Tzu) who started Daoism (Taoism) and authored the Dao De Jing (Tao Te Ching), is said to have gained inspiration here around 550 BC. The Dao (道) which roughly translates as `the way`, in the sense of how things are, is a concept that existed in Chinese thought many centuries before LaoZi, but it was LaoZi who developed the concept considerably. Wu Wei (無爲), literally `non-action` or `not acting`, is a central concept of the DaoDeJing. The concept of wu wei is multi-faceted, and reflected in the words` multiple meanings, even in English translation; it can mean `not doing anything`, `not forcing`, `not acting` in the theatrical sense, `creating nothingness`, `acting spontaneously`, and `flowing with the moment / `here and now``. It is a concept used to explain ZiRan (自然), or harmony with the Dao. LaoZi used the term broadly with simplicity and humility as key virtues, often in contrast to selfish action. On a political level, it means avoiding such circumstances as war, harsh laws and heavy taxes. The `ruler` can also refer to the `self`. There is an overlap here with the Buddha`s teachings that suffering stems from attachments and desires, ultimately to the notion of a separate self. In Chinese philosophy, Yin and Yang (陰陽 YīnYáng, `dark—light`) describes how opposite or contrary forces are actually complementary, interconnected, and interdependent in the natural world, and how they give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another. While duality is found in many belief systems, Yin and Yang are parts of a Oneness that is also equated with the Dao. Yin and yang can be thought of as complementary (rather than opposing) forces that interact to form a dynamic system in which the whole is greater than the assembled parts; it is a holistic view. Everything has both yin and yang aspects, though either of the two major aspects may manifest more strongly in a particular object, depending on the criterion of the observation. Yin and Yang is a balance between two seeming opposites with a portion of the opposite element in each. Some of LaoZi`s famous sayings include: `When goodness is lost, it is replaced by morality.` `Without Darkness, there can be no Light.` `The usefulness of a pot comes from its emptiness.` `The best people are like water, which benefits all things and does not compete with them. It stays in lowly places that others reject. This is why it is so similar to the Way.` `When people see some things as beautiful, other things become ugly. When people see some things as good, other things become bad.` `Try to change it and you will ruin it. Try to hold it and you will lose it.` `Those who know do not say. Those who say do not know.` `When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.` `Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.` `A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.` `Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.` `A journey of a thousand miles starts under one`s feet.` `The more that laws and regulations are given prominence, the more thieves there will be.` Alan Watts - `The Daoist Way` ...

An awesome film - don`t miss it ... September trip, in 2017; charming couple. XinJiang, north west China, includes the Tien Shan and Kunlun Shan mountains, the Taklimakan Desert, and the Tarim Basin.

An example of how the western MSM (main stream media) tries to convince you of their lies (hate). The real aim is to destroy the Chinese economy. In reality, it is the viewers who are being coerced / exploited. Mind control is controlling what one `knows`. Demonisation of the `other` is the first act of war.

Important information on today`s geopolitics. Do not miss it. XinJiang and the US empire`s war drive ... More from the Moderate Rebels channel ... The `threat` is that of a good example. In China, the people are family. In the West, the people are merely livestock. In the West, it is government by and for the elite (though wrapped in the candyfloss of elections). The Military Industrial Complex plays a part, but the biggest part is the western elites` superiority complex - colonialism never went away, it just became more subtle (but no less brutal).

A great film of the Great Wall north of Beijing, including `wild wall`, accompanied by great music (踏古 (Ta Gu) by Lin Hai, `Walking into Ancientry`, with Chinese lute (pipa)). We [mum, dad - videographer - and son and daughter, from Singapore] hiked 3 sections of the Great Wall in winter, without any guides after studying blogs and posts by fellow hikers. All these sections are different. From the unrestored GuBeiKou Great Wall where we were the only people around, to the wonderful JinShanLing, where the climb is steep and every direction gives you good photo opportunities, to the restored MuTianYu where we hiked in heavy snowfall. We stayed at local farmhouses on both nights, dined with the locals and hitched rides to nearby bath-houses. Temperature ranged from -5 deg C (day) to -12 deg C (night). Winter daybreak is at 7am and the sky becomes dark by 5pm so one has only 10 hours of daylight, so plan your travelling and hiking schedules carefully. This once-in-a-lifetime experience was captured on video and we would like to share it with you. The feelings just can`t be described - you need to experience it first hand. Take only memories, leave only footprints and kindness ... A wonderful animation combining traditional Chinese painting and dance - don`t miss it ! 踏古-林海 作曲：林海 视频作者：中国传媒大学动画学院

Last year, artist Hu JunJun was invited to make a six ton Reclining Buddha statue with twigs, which received much attention on exhibition in XiaMen. In her works, the Buddha often appears among colorful Chinese landscapes in a light and graceful style, rather than in the stereotypical manner of religious art works. Master architect Tadao Ando designed a museum for their collection of Buddha statues of the Northern Dynasties over the past decade. At the end of 2020, YIT visited Hu JunJun in her studio and collected the backstage story of her creation and collection of Buddha statues ... *** Find many more inspiring videos on our latest Chinese culture videos page ***
