Chy, that is the hidden immunity idol. It's up on a crossboard at their camp. They showed it after Leslie got the clue and was looking for the idol.

Chy, does the symbol "mean" anything? And, yes Pamy, I know it means immunity! LOL!

I knew it is the Hii also, just didn't want to be "spoiling" at the wrong area! :-)

It means Wealth, Earnings, Loot and is pronounced as LU, downward and short.

One thing though, it's crooked! If you tilt your head so that your left ear could almost touch your left shoulder, the word will be the right way up.

I just came back from 2 weeks in China. Survivor makes China look like a green tropical oasis. The tourists instead experience the polution in Beijing & the traffic in Shanghai. Great food tho!

In an interview somewhere Phil states that they were lucky to find so isolated a region for this season. They are not very far from a good-sized (3 milllion) city - maybe an hour or so?

You mean Jeff, right? :-)
Two hours from NanChang by bus according to my friend.

China is really big. Just like the States. On this continent you could take New York City and Yellow Stone Park to make that comparison!

I remember seeing my College in NYC for the first time: Where's the Campus? Where's the football Field? Where's the Co-Ed Dorm? ... All the things I've heard and read about thousands of miles away!!! (It was just a huge mansion-like put-together building on East 72nd snuggled between some famous Brown Stones. 200 some students back then. Now they've traded that prime realty with spacious building on the West Side.)

Just to make the point mildly for Vsmart:



BeiJing Drum Tower



Art School near ZLH



How the real Dragon Dance/Tease is done :-)



Near the Sacred Mouuntain LuShan.



LuShan, NE from ZLH. Why it's thought as Sacred.

Wow, that's beautiful! I love the last picture. It makes me wonder who built that path on the side of the cliff (Monks?) and how they did it.

LOL Chy! Yes, I meant Jeff! I confess to a MAJOR LEAGUE crush on Phil, but I will try to put that aside for the Survivor season!

Hurray for you learning to post pictures! We are all the richer for it! What great shots!

Glad you all like them!
I feel like I sort of Hijacked the thread though. But putting them in the spoiler thread is not neccessary either. So please bear with me, but let me know if it's too out of hand?

First one at 10:10, they call it tube-floating.

Second one is Yellow and Red but it has nothing to do with Survivor. I don't know what they're doing either.

Third one is self-explanatory.

The one above the Jet Ski is picture of those floating bridge they build between islands that are close to each other. There's literally 998 islands when all are visible(not covered by lake water).

They also advertise for tourists to go berry-picking late May early June. It's red but tree berries. The fish is really small but tasty. Bloggers complained that there used to be so much more fish and shrimp in the lake, before the tourists.

Thanks Raen, it helps my Fantasy Game!
Too bad I'm no where near the top for me to say: IF I won a China trip, I won't forget to thank you!

Oh Chy, thank you so much for sharing the photos. Truly beautiful.
I have been facinated with China for as long as I can remember....(woohoo, Survivor China - who woulda thunk it?).
