Autonomous regions of China.






Baba's thought for today.

"Have faith in yourself.
When you have no faith in the wave,
How can you get faith in the ocean?"

When you have Self confidence we will be able to overcome whatever obstacles that we face in our daily lives. Just trust yourself.

I visited the Exhibition hall of Ethnic Cultural Palace located at number 49 Fuxingmennei Street, Beijing. This exhibition has the theme "Fast Progress of Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Guangxi, Ningxia and Tibet" For the sixtieth anniversary of New China.

Next I went to the China Red Sandalwood museum located at Gaobeidian, Chaoyang District. Started by Dr Chan Lai Wah, this place show cases the essence of red sandalwood culture. sandalwod is called red sandalwood because of its colour and its texture is hard which makes it suitable for furniture making. Many of the exhibits are furniture made in Ming and Qing Dynasties.
