Chinese Stone from Mount Emei Found in Switzerland! (25.10.2025)

According to reports, on Sept. 29, 2014, a 2.6-metric-ton conglomerate rock from Mount Rigi was installed at the Golden Summit of Mount Emei. In return, on July 31, 2015, an 8-metric-ton basalt rock from Mount Emei was set up at Rigi’s summit, Rigi Kulm.

According to the Leshan municipal government website, Emei and Rigi officially became sister mountains in 2009. The two sides agreed to exchange rocks to be placed at both summits as symbols of friendship.

The Mount Emei stone is a basalt rock formed around 260 million years ago. It is 2.6 meters tall, 1.5 metres wide, 1.5 metres thick at its deepest point, and weighs about 8.05 metric tons. (Gong Weiwei)

North Korea - Attractive to Chinese Men(?)

China: Five Great Attributes of North Korea! (9.6.2024)

Finally, there is the question of long-term residence. While Chinese men may be fascinated by the appeal of North Korea, long-term residence here requires careful consideration. Issues such as education, medical care, and career opportunities need to be carefully considered. North Korea’s resources and opportunities in these areas are relatively limited, so long-term planning is needed.

In summary, the attraction of North Korea is irresistible to some Chinese men, but it also needs to be treated with caution. People who come here need to be fully prepared, understand the local situation, respect cultural differences, and consider various issues of long-term residence. North Korea may be a place full of unknowns and challenges, but it is also a country full of unique charms and opportunities.

Only with proper preparation can Chinese men better enjoy the experience this country brings and create their own unique stories in this beautiful land.

Nepal: Army Retrieves Two-Bodies – Clears Away Tons of Western Rubbish from Mountains! (30.5.2024)

On May 16, the army teams recovered two other bodies and skeletal remains on the two peaks.

In addition to the bodies, the teams have collected 11,000 kg of waste by Wednesday.

Starting on April 11, the Nepal Army deployed three teams to pick up waste on Mount Qomolangma (8,848 meters), Mount Lhotse (8,516 meters), and Mount Nuptse (7,861 meters) with the support of Nepali Sherpa climbers.

The Nepal Army planned to collect 10 tons of waste and retrieve five bodies from the peaks. This year’s cleaning campaign is scheduled to conclude on June 5.

New Moon Map!

China: World’s First High-Definition Lunar Geologic Atlas Published! (22.4.2024)

He mentioned that China’s upcoming Chang’e-6 mission is expected to collect samples in the Apollo Basin within the South Pole-Aitken Basin on the far side of the moon, which means materials ejected from ancient terrain may be collected in the process. “Our map can provide a macroscopic geologic background to improve the purpose and efficiency of the sample research,” Liu explained.

The compilation of this map was an immense task, which required the organization and cooperation of many well-informed researchers over many years to be able to achieve a consistent and complete result, commented Gregory Michael, a senior scientist from the Free University of Berlin in Germany.

“This map, in particular, is the first on a global scale to utilize all of the post-Apollo era data. It builds on the achievements of the international community over the last decades, as well as on China’s own highly successful Chang’e program. It will be a starting point for every new question of lunar geology, and become a primary resource for researchers studying lunar processes of all kinds,” Michael added.
