I just came across these negatives from my trip to Wuxu Hai in Sichuan about five years ago. The prints I got at the time were a bit rubbish, but these scans have come out OK, I think.
Joseph Rock came past here and never mentioned the place - strange?

The last trip with my Rolleiflex over Christmas was to the Catholic communities of the Nujiang in Yunnan. Joseph Rock visited these places in the 1920s, and described one mission station (Bahang/Baihanluo) as "the loveliest that I know". I wil post more pictures soon, when they are developed.
For now, here are the then and now pictures of Baihanluo/Bahang:
In 1925:
And at Christmas 2008:
