Joseph Rock memorial gate, near Muli/Yading (picture by Dave Turner), originally uploaded by jiulong.
Just been sent this pic by mountain biker extraordinaire Dave Turner, who is currently riding somewhere between Muli and Yading. This shows a plinth to commemorate Joseph Rock and seems to say something like "Rock's 900 li (kilometre) key to enter Shangri-La" You can follow Dave's travels at www.mushypea.net

hi Michael,
Sorry if this comment is not related to the photograph, please remove it when you have read it.
I am Italian and work in London as a Landscape Designer.
I am currently undertaking research about Joseph Rock and his expeditions in China in the 1920’s. The focus of my research is the influence that Joseph Rock, as a plant hunter, has had on modern botany and horticulture.
I am interested in some of the pics you posted on this blog, both modern and old images.
Could you please give me an email address where i can contact you?
thank you very much!
