Longquan

Reseguide

This shot is taken just 3-5 minutes walk from the Longchuan river park of Shangbacun. The road/path is the main road of this small hillside village (the suburbs of Shangbacun?). I find myself wondering how different is this alley compared to my childhood home in suburban Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. And all the people I meet on the road, how different are their thoughts to mine? “Travel far enough, you meet yourself." - David Mitchel, Cloud Atlas
I dream, therefore I think I am - Rene Descartes' half cousin There are some days when I just wish I was a blade of grass swaying in the wind listening only to the whispers of the mitochondrial horde tweeting the afternoon away.
As you walk up the road from Shangbacun (actually talked to a local yesterday who said the name of the town is Shangmacun, but on Google maps it is Shangbacun), there are different roads shooting off into different areas all of which end up in dead ends of nowhere in particular...just my kind of place. I don't know why I like to take pictures like this...something about the lines of perspective: the wall, road and forest converging into a point in the unknown distance. A winding earthy invitation to spend a little time with your thoughts.
This shot is taken just 3-5 minutes walk from the Longchuan river park of Shangbacun. The road/path is the main road of this small hillside village (the suburbs of Shangbacun?). I found myself in the last couple of days taking shots of corn because it is grown in all manner of ways. Here is a patch that reaches to the shoulder of the path. The corn has a nice view of China's urbanization efforts what with the new ring road(number 3 or 4...lost count) and yet another living complex.
Just before climbing up the hills, you will walk across a bridge with a nice view of the upper dam. On this hike, I didn't go on the road just above the dam, because I wanted to go one valley behind to try and reach the peak in the background. I am coming back here and will update information about other hikes in the area.

Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion. - Jim Rohn I have many Chinese students who, because I teach them one to one and have forged a relationship with them, tell me a great deal about their personal life. One of the things I have learned is that Middle School and University students spend time, during grade 7, 10 and their freshman year in university, training in the military. Personally, I would hate it and don't ascribe to its practice. However, as an observer of political economy and nation states, I must admit that it is of incredible benefit. China has a vibrance to it and it owes this in part to the level of discipline that exists throughout its society. On the contrary, in the US, there is a malaise that runs deep within its core. It is rotting from the inside out. Everywhere, you here the cry of how great America is, an affirmation without any discipline. It is a profound self-delusion and it is about to bite us all squarely on the ass.
