Footbridge Photo: Chinese tourists use a slightly unsafe footbridge to cross a river. The footbridge is a drawing point for tourists to this village but in the 4 days I spent at Fenghuang, I personally saw 3 people fall into the river. Bruised egos aside, no one was injured.

Gobi Passage Photo: Coming from the ice valley tourist stop, it seemed like we took a shortcut through a series of these rock passes to finally emerge into a lush valley. Public transportation is limited in Mongolia so my usual seat-of-my-pants traveling style was temporarily pushed aside for a package tour through the Gobi Desert. Our driver was a hell of a guy but spoke little English so our ability to extract information from him was severely limited.
