ABOUT ME

My wife and I are easy-going, honest, warmhearted and open-minded.
We like travelling very much. We like to see natural landscapes and meet local people. In the past ten years, we have travelled around China. China is a big country. It has almost all types of landforms and landscapes. It also has various kinds of people. We have been to every province on China Mainland. The west part of China including Tibet, Xinjiang, Sichuan and Yunnan is our favorite destination. We have been there for many times. The landscapes are amazing. In 2007, We drove a car through the whole country from Shanghai to Tibet,and then to Zhangmu town, the border of China and Nepal. We stayed in Nepal for 20 days and then drove back to Shanghai.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One evening in 2007, My wife and I left Nepal at 19:00. We were driving for a remote plateau lake in the Himalayas. At 22:00, our car broke down suddenly. We stopped at a desolate place far out of the way and its altitude is above 4200 meters (or 13,800 feet). It was completely dark. No people could be found. Unfortunately,it rained very hard for several hours. It became really cold at night. My wife and I had to stay in our car for the whole night. Severe altitude stress including extremely bad headache and vomiting attacked us. We could hardly breathe. And this made us feel that we would die. The next morning, I tried to fix the car but failed. We were almost despaired. In the afternoon, a patrolling Army jeep passed by. The soldiers fixed our car and we survived.
