From time to time there is this dense fog on the mountain. Actually that the clouds. So you could say we were in heaven. For all interested going there: Most days during my stay were sunny, even in march.
But this fog was great, too. So mysterious. Sometimes you couldn’t see more than 10m. Ask John Intervalo about it. He arrived in a very dense fog and couldn’t see most of the mountain for about four days. But what a sight after that. It’s so beautiful there.
Three weeks ago we did arrive on Daqingshan with our little boy. We’re going to stay for 6 weeks, so now’s half time. So far we can say everything worked out very good, the Chinese are all pretty crazy about little Lukas, which very often give us a little more freedom to train – and that’s what we actually came for. So far with quite success. Read more

Daqingshan Castle At Night
This poster is composed of actual Daqingshan site photos. It is currently used as a large billboard at the entrance to Daqingshan on Highway 222.
The background mountain and the hotel are actual pictures. The area in front of the hotel is design effect.
This is a video of Brennen Toh doing Yilu while his arms are restricted by a rubber cord. It helped to reduce his tossing quite a bit.
Now people visiting Daqingshan can have one card for door admission, hotel charges, restaurant charges, purchase of any items on Daqingshan.

Our first foreign resident of Daqingshan succeeded in making pizza for the Daqingshan staff. He got ingredients from Singapore, Beijing, etc. In the future, Tim will attempt to make more western food when full time students are on Daqingshan.

DAQINGSHAN SURVIVAL GUIDE V1.0
so a lot of people i’ve talked to have said they wanted a in depth guide on stuff they might need to bring to the mountain, now this guide is less important for people here for shorter stays so if you’re here for less than a month it wont be so important, but if your here for more than 2 months this list might make your stay much more enjoyable, so here’s my first revision of the daqingshan survival guide apologies in advance for the terrible grammar and spelling Read more
Some design samples for the new hotel, restaurant, and Bagua Bay community.
Daqingshan is hosting a week long student camp for local children of grade 3 to grade 6. Matt and Blake is helping teach English class.
It is nearly time, again, to say goodbye to the great scenery, Taiji brothers and sisters, the local folks, and the great food here on Daqingshan. I am due for this report.
I have only one suggestion to offer my fellow Taiji brothers and sisters for their quests, and that is to watch Shifu. At that, to put it bluntly: shut up, and watch. Read more
These are two pictures of Master Sun Zhonghua’s latest oil paintings on the subject of Daqingshan. The first one depicts a section of the ancient Ju State （？－431 B.C.) Great Wall. These are remains on the current Daqingshan site. The second one depicts a scene of the oak trees on Daqingshan.
For those who were on Daqingshan before, millet is what most porridge is made of for breakfast. The Northern Chinese think of millet as superior to rice.
