View of one of the Yangtze River gorges between Chungking and Tatsienlu.
Boats either sail or are pulled by humans through the Yangtze River gorges. In the more mountainous regions the pullers would literally need to climb the face of mountains in order to pull the boats.
Tatsienlu, Sichuan, western China. The modern name is Kangding. The town is 8,600 feet (2,621 meters) above sea level. The Adventist mission compound is to the right out of the picture, and you can make out the Catholic church (French mission) on the left side of the picture.
Temple at a Tibetan lamasery. Near the center of the picture is a roofed pavilion for those with drums and cymbals. At the left, sitting in the shadows by the tall wall, are two lamas with their long copper horns in front of them. The lamas in the courtyard are taking part in a dance which is part of a religious festival.
