The Putuo ZongCheng Temple 普陀宗乘之庙 in ChengDe 成德
The Putuo ZongCheng Temple in ChengDe, HeBei province, is a Qing dynasty Buddhist temple. The complex was constructed between 1767 and 1771 during the reign of emperor QianLong (1735–1796). It is located just north of the ChengDe Mountain Resort. Along with the equally famed Puning Temple, it is one of the Eight Outer Temples of ChengDe (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). The temple was modeled after the Potala Palace in Tibet. The temple complex covers a surface area of some 220,000 square meters, making it one of the largest in China. The Mountain Resort in ChengDe 避暑山庄 (BìShǔ ShānZhuāng literally means "Mountain Villa for Avoiding the Heat") was an imperial get-away. Built between 1703 and 1792 during the Qing dynasty, the vast Mountain Resort covers a total area of 5.6 square kilometers (2.2 square miles) and is surrounded by a mini 'Great Wall', which one can walk. It contains a variety of gardens, pagodas, temples and palaces representing the styles from various regions of China.

HaNi rice terraces, YuanYang, HongHe, YunNan province
With Little Chinese Everywhere ... The Hani rice terraces are a spectacular example of ancient agricultural engineering located in the Yuanyang County of Yunnan Province, China. These terraces are renowned for their beauty and cultural significance, as well as their sustainable farming practices that have been maintained for over a millennium. Historical and Cultural Background Origins and History The Hani people, an ethnic minority in China, began constructing these terraces around 1,300 years ago. They transformed the steep slopes of the Ailao Mountains into a series of stepped terraces, making the land suitable for rice cultivation. Cultural Significance The terraces are not just a testament to agricultural ingenuity but also a reflection of the Hani culture and their harmonious relationship with nature. The Hani people believe in a symbiotic relationship with their environment, which is reflected in their farming practices, spiritual beliefs, and festivals. Agricultural Practices Irrigation System A sophisticated irrigation system channels water from the forested mountaintops down through the terraces. This system ensures a stable water supply, critical for the cultivation of rice. Sustainability The Hani terraces are an example of sustainable farming, with practices that preserve soil fertility and biodiversity. Crop rotation and the use of natural fertilizers are integral parts of their agricultural methods. Natural and Scenic Beauty Visual Appeal The terraces are most visually striking during the planting season when the fields are filled with water, reflecting the sky and creating a mirror-like effect. During different seasons, the terraces change colors, ranging from the vibrant green of growing rice to the golden hues of the harvest season. Tourism The terraces attract tourists from around the world, especially photographers and nature enthusiasts. Key viewing points include Duoyishu, Bada, and Laohuzui, each offering breathtaking views of the terraces at different times of the day. UNESCO World Heritage Status Recognition In 2013, the Hani rice terraces were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This recognition underscores their cultural and historical importance, as well as their unique agricultural landscape. Conservation Efforts Efforts are underway to preserve this heritage site, focusing on maintaining the traditional farming practices and protecting the environment from modern threats such as tourism pressure and climate change. Conclusion The Hani rice terraces are a remarkable blend of human ingenuity and natural beauty. They represent the Hani people's enduring relationship with their land, showcasing a sustainable agricultural system that has thrived for centuries. As both a cultural treasure and a stunning visual spectacle, the Hani rice terraces continue to captivate and inspire visitors from around the globe.

From treating disease to promoting health – food is the best medicine
Dr. Mark Hyman & Dr. William Li. "I never get tired of saying it: real food heals. Food has the power to prevent and reverse disease, and the more we know about it, the more power we have to curate a targeted diet to help us reach our health goals. The catch is that we have to choose the right foods, the ones that elevate us, and simultaneously ditch the poor-quality ones that harm us. There are powerful compounds in foods— like curcumin, genistein, catechins, lycopene, resveratrol, quercetin — that have medicinal impacts on the body. That’s why I call the grocery store the drug store; we can literally eat our medicine at every meal. My guest this week on The Doctor’s Farmacy, Dr. William Li, is here to tell us all about eating to beat disease and making the idea that food is medicine second nature. You may also be surprised to find out that angiogenesis, or how the body forms blood vessels, is a common denominator in creating optimal health. William Li, MD, is a world-renowned physician, scientist, speaker, and author of Eat to Beat Disease: The New Science of How Your Body Can Heal Itself. He is best known for leading the Angiogenesis Foundation." Bonus film - Can we eat to starve cancer? (Angiogenesis) - Dr. William Li ...
