Unknown mountain visible from Rangwu located in an area off-limits (as declared by the Chinese government) to foreigners. I traveled illegally between Yunan, China to Lhasa, Tibet so I tried to maintain a low profile. As a result, I was unable to ask around for the name of the mountain. If anyone out there knows this mountain's name, send me an email so I can update this post.

Fierce Face Photo: A Chinese Opera company came rolling into town, much like a traveling circus, complete with frightening characters in exaggerated makeup sans bulbous red noses. There are only two things I fear in life: A land war in Asia and the unholy grin of a circus clown. Today I add to my list of fears: Chinese opera performers.
