While in Hong Kong this past January, I spent a lazy afternoon holed up in my room off Nathan road, completely engrossed in back-to-back episodes of CCTV International’s show Travelogue.

The Tongren Festival Began With Shaman #1
Producer: travelswithsheila
http://TravelsWithSheila.com The Festival began with a fast hike up the hill at altitude trying not to miss any part of the Tongren Aboriginal Festival held once a year. This video highlights Shaman #1 in a trance, pawing the ground and making horse sounds. Offerings and prayers in the temple, intricate dance routines. A "not for tourist" event - that is becoming more popular every year.

Shanghai, China: Kitschy (but fun) Yu Gardens
Producer: travelswithsheila
http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com The Yu Gardens (full name - Yu Yuan Gardens) were built in 1559 in typical Chinese fashion. Halls, pavilions, little bridges over small ponds. The inner section has turned into one huge bazaar and is one of Shanghai's most popular destinations for tourists (including us). When you go, definitely try the steamed dumplings (xiaolong bao) and watch out for 3rd degree burns. The extremely hot soup inside squirts out when you bite into them, and don't forget to dip in vinegar. Sounds awful...tastes wonderful. Yu Gardens is always good for a fun time...
