Konka Gompa in the snow
This was the best view we got of Gongga Shan mountain and the monastery! Taken in mid October 2013.
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
