  1. #FotoVorschlag - Touri-Hotspot

    Photo theme - tourist hotspot

    There are people who will say you should avoid tourist hotspots but tourist hotspots are usually hotspots for a good reason.

    From our honeymoon in 2008, here's the Great Wall of China just north of Beijing. Very few of us westerners were there at this time so we were almost as interesting to the Chinese tourists as the wall and landscape itself.

  11. China's 3,046-Kilometer "Great Green Wall" Has Transformed Its Largest Desert Into A Carbon Sink

    #China has a new #GreatWall but this one isn't built of stone and mortar to repel marauding invaders from the north. Instead, the “Great Green Wall” is a vast belt of #trees and #shrubs lining the bottom of its northern deserts, designed to halt the steady creep of #desertification. New research suggests this massive megaproject is already functioning as a vital #CarbonSink, helping to stabilize the local #environment.

    Located in northwest China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, the #TaklamakanDesert is one of the driest places on Earth and the largest #desert in the country. It’s sometimes called the “Sea of Death” and “The Place of No Return” because of its desolate landscape, defined by towering dunes and a scarcity of #wildlife

  18. Mostly because I shared this on Instagram today as well.

    This is the Great Wall of China, taken on the second day of our honeymoon in 2008, which was also the second day of the very first time we'd left the country to travel together. We've done a fair bit of travelling since but this is still one of the most impressive sights we've had the luck and utter joy to experience.

    s:/ Every other week, the #CCP government of #China seems keen to provide further reasons why #decoupling from the economy behind the #GreatWall and boycottig any #RoadAndBelt initiatives (aka new #SilkRoad) is an excellent idea...

    Other than that, I think I have read something about seismic bombs, or maybe it was still just #SciFi, but who knows... /s

  21. This Chinese proverb by philosopher Xunzi, sent to me by my Chinese PhD candidate perfectly expresses the lived experience of my #LivingWithLongCovid healing journey.

    It's a reminder to myself that all the small steps I've made will some day result in a thousand-mile journey - which might lead me back to China, where I've taken the photo of the #GreatWall during my 2019 conference visit to Beijing.

    Wishing my fellow #LongCovid travellers patience and stamina on their journeys.

  22. Enjoying posting along with some of the photo themes here on Mastodon, and I'm also posting several from the same trip to Asia today, it seems, although not intentionally.

    This is for #SundayPixRedThings and it's the #flag of #China in front of The Great Wall. This was taken in 2008 in the popular Badaling section of the wall north of Beijing.
