I was telling a friend from London last week about your blog and photos and the book "Forgotten Kingdom" by Peter Goullart that I bought in Lijiang in April 2011. I saw your blogs then and really glad to see you back there in 2013. What is favorable month of the year in Lijiang?
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
