• Master of The Net Garden

  
  This tiny garden is a unique masterpiece and (careful: subjective opinion) the most interesting classical Chinese garden in China. Despite of its dimensions, you can easily spend there at least two or three hours, exploring rocks, ponds, borrowed scenery and hidden pathways.

• Twin Pagodas, Taiyuan, Shanxi province, China

  
  In history (like everywhere) the bigger is better. Same in religion, but accompanied with the meaning of being closer to heaven. This time it is about two octagonal pagodas (the tallest pair in China :), each one of more then 50 meters tall, standing since 16th century and accompanied with the temple and peony garden, which supposed to blossom beautifully in spring.

• Lubitel+ Run Rumble – A Flash of light ended over 4 years ago

  
  As soon as the sun goes down some Lomographic cameras must sadly go to sleep as well. Not the Lubitel, oh no, with a flash in hand this new Lomography recreation can do wonders.

• Songshan Mountain Geopark to Shaolin Temple, Henan Province, China

  
  Shaolin, the temple and the legend. We've passed there too, but chosen the backdoor to the temple because of two reasons: first, to avoid the overcrowded tourists and second, to enjoy the beautiful 3-hours track in Songshan Geopark.

• The Longmen Grottoes, China

  
  China has several major Grottoes-related historical sites, such as Yungang Caves in Shanxi, Mogao Caves in Gansu and Longmen Caves in Henan. The first site is already lomo-covered, the second resides in the north of China, having very unattractive weather in December for the warm hamsters like us, so here is the review about the third.

  53 grottoes (read: caves) with thousands statues carry a history of 1500 years back in time. The historical records state that more then 40000 people contributed to the project that took 50 years to complete (all happened during the Northern Wei Dynasty, guided by a monk, named Tan Yao).

• Phreaky Essays: Hong Kong - the International Cozmoport

  
  Hong Kong - the starting point of our journey hit our subconsciousness before we've completed our headZ turnaround. I I never soon so many different kinds of people in the same elevator: Hindu, Muslim, Europeans, Asians, pale-skinned, black-skinned, all talking about all the subjects in the world in different languages, sometimes including English :) Just like in the "Fifth element": each floor - another alien (and peaceful) story.

• Russia in New York Workshop Recap

  
  Thank you to everyone who attended the Russia in New York Workshop on Saturday, December 13th. It was a great success indeed. Everyone who attended was bold enough to brave the cold for our LomoJourney through the neighborhood searching for Russian or Russian-inspired locations.

• Diana+ - The Transformer Camera

  
  Those that created a one-dollar Diana in Hong Kong in sixties and survived the frustration of seventies, when the camera was put out of production could never imagine neither the success of Diana+ in the far future, nor the widest range of accessories that would decorate the princess' crown.

  One of the best preserved walled cities in China simply could not be missed (yeah, we still are on our trip through China, slowly moving from from the North to the South :).

• Wutai Shan temples and mountains

  
  4 hours on the bus from Datong, China - and you'll join the region of Buddhist temples and spectacular mountains. Pack well with warm clothes and carefully choose your hostel (there are plenty of and the place is cold in winter - below 0 Celsius degree is normal on 2-3 km high altitude:)

• Great Wall (Badaling section, near Beijing)

  
  No visit to China can be complete without visiting the Great Wall - one of the most impressive large-scale constructions in human history. The Badaling section - the most picturesque and visited one - was built during the Ming dynasty and massively restored by Chinese government in the XX-th century.
