Under the Bridge, Beyond the Beach, Above the Muck (The Train Station), Snapshots of the Ten North's collections, this exhibition articulates the Group's approach to collection, embodying and enacting black memory principles. It serves as a locus of memory, a landmark around which past events structure present memory.

Mountain climbing

牙牙旅行记

[Soul Strike Warning] When standing at the 5,630-meter-high Zhuomala Pass, watching the pyramid-like mountain of Gang Rinpoche pierce the clouds, suddenly understand why this is called the &quot;center of the world&quot;. 48 hours of hiking, each step is challenging the physical limit, but the soul is purified unprecedentedly. [Must see the mountain] 🔥 Shocking moment TOP3 1. Rizhao Jinshan: At 5 am, we discredited. When the first ray of gold climbed to the top of the mountain, everyone was silent, and only the sound of the camera shutter was left. 2. Starry sky Galaxy: Tartarqin&#39;s night sky is clear to see the star rail, lying on the roof of the hotel, the galaxy seems to be within reach. 3. Longhead believer: three steps and one step Tibetan aunt, the forehead old man is the most moving faith medal, watching countless hikers cry. [Pit avoidance guide] ⚠️ Novices must listen - High reverse is worse than Lhasa! Drink Rhodiola 15 days in advance, prepare glucose oral liquid + ibuprofen, oxygen bottles (I sucked 3 cans 😅). - Don&#39;t be greedy for equipment! Lightweight simple line + knee protection + trekking pole = life protection combination, raincoat must be brought (the rainy season is said to be down). - Don&#39;t stay! Tartin &quot;Shenshan Shenghu Hotel&quot; oxygen supply is stable, otherwise it will be a headache all night to doubt life. [Healing Eggs] 🍵 Tibetan warmth - The Tibetan brother who met on the way to the mountain handed over the barley cake: &quot;Eat, have strength!&quot; - The sweet tea house next to the Zhire Temple, 5 yuan a cup of sweet tea with cow dung stove, instantly blood back. - The little lama of Zuchu Temple taught me to make a wish with a prayer wheel, saying that turning three times clockwise would make things happen. [Writing in the end] Some people say that turning the mountain is to wash away sins, but I think it is a dialogue with myself. When the feet grind out blisters, when the oxygen is thin to suffocate, suddenly understand: life is like the most desperate place in the Zhuomala Pass, often hiding the most magnificent scenery.

[View] Mapanyu is originally an outflow lake, and then because of the flood and ice water accumulation in front of the Gangdes Mountains, blocking the valley and becoming an inland lake. [5] Mapanyu is an inland freshwater lake, [5] the water level is 4586.00 meters, the maximum water depth is 81.80 meters, the average water depth is about 46.00 meters, and the water storage is 200.0 &times;108 cubic meters. It is one of the most abundant freshwater resources in the world&#39;s high-altitude areas. The holy lake is really beautiful, suffocating and regretting. Lament the greatness of nature.
