Wenchang is a county-level city in the northeast of Hainan province, China. Although called a city, Wenchang refers to a large land area in Hainan - an area which was once a county. The urban center and the seat of government of Wenchang is officially known as Wencheng Town which is also colloquially referred to as Wenchang City.
Wenchang is the source of most overseas Hainanese migrants, with the majority of Singapore's Hainanese population having ancestral roots in Wenchang. The Wenchang dialect is considered the prestige form of the Hainanese language and is used by the island's provincial broadcasting media.
Tianmeidong, a village located in Wenchang, received international attention in 2007 when they changed their name to Tianweiban; officials were unsure how to type the final character of the new name on computers, causing various difficulties for villagers. It was promoted from a county to a city on November 7, 1995, and had a population of 86,551 in 1999 (estimated 2006: 115,000).
Located in the northeastern part of Hainan, Wenchang covers a total area of 2,403 square kilometres (928 sq mi). The east side has a long coastline along the South China Sea while the west borders Dongzhai Harbor, Haikou's Meilan District, Qionghai, and Ding'an County. The land is mostly hilly and contains both forest and agricultural areas. The entire area is populated with countless towns, farms, and villages.
The Wenchang Satellite Launch Center is located in Wenchang. This is China's fourth and southernmost space vehicle launch facility and because of its low latitude, the Wenchang Satellite Launch Center has been selected to launch China's space station. On 22 September 2007, CCTV officially announced the construction of an expanded Wenchang Satellite Launch Center has been approved by the State Council and the Central Military Commission of the People's Republic of China [4] after decades of postponement due to political concerns.

Yumbulhakhang, the first palace in Tibet, is located on the Zhaxi Ceri Mountain in Tsedang, 7 miles from Nedong County in Lhoka Prefecture of Tibet. It has a history of over 2000 years.
The followers of the Bon religion believe that the Yumbulhakhang Palace was erected in the 2 century BC by the first Tibetan king of the Yarlung Dynasty, Nyatri Tsenpo, who was believed to have descended from heaven onto the sacred mountain Yarlha Shampo.
Later Yumbulhakhang Palace became the summer palace of the 33rd ruler of the Yarlung Dynasty King Songtsen Gampo and Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty. King Songsten Gampo built the Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple in Lhasa in Central Tibet. Under the reign of the 5th Dalai Lama of the Gelug School (Yellow Hat tradition) of Tibetan Buddhism, Yumbulhakhang was converted into a monastery for the Gelug school.

A Black Crane Nature Reserve in Yushu County, China & Unusual Dinner
There was another day to fill without the scheduled Yushu horse races and Mr. Wang drove us into another valley of grasslands to see the Black Crane Nature Reserve. Black-necked Cranes breed in much of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and even winter here. We saw exactly two cranes and one frog (lucky to see any, I guess) and headed back to downtown Yushu for a semi-unusual dinner.
Have you ever seen a deep fried chicken head on a plate?
