Next Chinese New Year is on 24th of February 2010

Chinese New Year begins according to the Chinese calendar which consists of both Gregorian and lunar-solar calendar systems. Because the track of the new moon changes from year to year, Chinese New Year can begin anytime between late January and mid-February. Below is a chart that shows the beginning day of Chinese New Year and the animal sign for that year.

Colorful dragon costumes seen on Bangkoks streets during the Chinese New Year celebration. The tradition is a great way to reconcile forgetting all grudges, and sincerely wish peace and happiness for everyone.
In China, lion daces are generally performed by two people and can be further categorized into the Northern Chinese lion dance and the Southern Chinese lion dance. The Northern lion dance has its origins in imperial China as a form of entertainment . The lion is usually red, orange, or yellow in hue and the dance itself is quite acrobatic and occasionally features high risk stunts.

Looking at this picture I get the same feeling which I had while sitting there on the banks, looking to the boats passing and to the lotos drifting by...........
it's very strange and leads to some disorientation, that the lotos is drifting upwards the river to the cambodian border....???.....why, what, am I drunk? No, the Mekong has tides far up from sea, which let him flow into the wrong direction....!

Stupa at the Namtso Lake Tibet

Namtso Lake in the Tibet Autonomous Region was selected as one of the five most beautiful lakes in China by Chinese National Geography magazine. Namtso Lake's touching beauty should not be missed by any traveler who visits Tibet. Its purity and solemnness are symbols of Qinghai-Tibet Platean. In Tibetan, Namtso means 'Heavenly Lake.' It is considered one of the three holy lakes in Tibet. Namtso is famous for its high altitude (4720 meters (about 3 miles)), vast area (1961 square kilometers (about 757 square miles) and beautiful scenery.

Being the second largest saltwater lake in China only after Qinghai Lake, Namtso Lake is the biggest lake throughout Tibet. Meanwhile, it is the highest altitude saltwater lake in the world. The water here is a storybook crystal-clear blue. Clear skies join the surface of the lake in the distance, creating an integrated, scenic vista. Soul of every visitor who has ever been here seems to be cleansed by the pure lake water.

Namtso Lake maintains its levels from rainfall and melted snow flowing from high mountains. Five islands stand in the waters of the lake, among which the largest one is Liangduo island. In addition another five bylands stretch into the lake from different directions. Zhaxi byland is the largest in area of these five. A great many bizarre stone peaks can be found on this byland. Some of them are like trunks; some look like human beings; some resemble trees. Various kinds of vivid shapes can easily arouse your imagination. At the same time there are many quiet grottos which are masterpieces of nature. Some grottos are narrow and long like subways; some are full of stalactites; still, others are like louvers. Queer rocks, steep peaks, natural stone ladders and other landform wonders on Zhaxi byland present visitors a picture filled with mystery and enchantment.
