Built in 1737 during the Qing Dynasty, Black Dragon Pool is a very popular place to visit and a must see for travellers heading to China's Yunan Province.

It's reflective waters are incredibly peaceful and form a wonderful foreground to the views of the tallest mountains that lie in the background - Jade Snow Mountains.

This was one of my favourite spots I visited on one of my many trips to China - and I place I highly recommend visiting, especially in the Spring when the blossoms are out.

Weekly market outside Liajiang. These photos were actually taken 25 years ago with old slide film, so they don't really qualify as "discoveries." But I recently got my Asia photos digitized and wanted to share them.

The room is modern and spacious. Excellent location as it’s just next to the old town. Staff is very friendly. As we had 2 rooms, I’ve emailed to the hotel in advance to have it near to each other. It was nice that they did as the hotel’s layout is like a courtyard style. So you can imagine if one ...
