This blog follows the travels of the Turberfield family as they drop out of the normal busyness of corporate life to explore the ancient art of Tibetan Thangka, the dusty mountaintop temples of the eastern edge of the Tibetan plateau and travel overland from Singapore to England.

Offering to The Spiritual Guide in a lofty gompa perched above the natural fort of Dongwan valley, weekly trips to Shangri La's unpredictable shower rooms, keeping the cows out of the bins, scaling sacred Mount Shika, haggling for pu-er in the tea markets of Kunming and the nightly wonder of the milky way - possibly as far as it's possible to get from the subway at rush hour....

The main contributors are Michelle (also widely known as "The Boss") and David with bits and pieces from San San and Jon Jon. We hope you enjoy and look forward to your comments.

China's ancient disneyland

In 1993 there was an earthquake in Lijiang. Fortunately, the ancient town of Lijiang was not largely damaged, and it was placed UNESCO world heritage.

The old town is full of small canals, cobbled paths, stone bridges, ancient chinese houses etc. Part of the ancient tea horse route. The architecture are beautiful but that is all.

The houses now house souvenir shops, restaurants and hotels etc. So if you like souvenir shopping, then it is your place.

Unfortunately, we were bothered to go far and hence could not say more about places surrounding this ancient disneyland!
