"Do you know the world?" --Competition--

[Poseidon88]

wild guess

heavenly Lake / Changbai Mountain ???
(north China)

 

[bruggink]

The most famous lake I know of is Loch Ness.

I thought you were going to say Lakeside. *Phew*

 

[zhelong]

Hi Poseidon88, it is not Changbaishan Heaven Lake. Changbaishan Heaven lake is a Volcanic Crater Lake and I don't think boating is allowed there.

More hints, it is in China, but not in North China, also not in Tibet.

Bingo!
How did you get it? did I give away too many hints?

It's a beautiful lake with unique matriarchal culture of the local Mosuo people.
More pictures to share.

Your turn, Poseidon88.

---------------------

1. I know the place must be somewhere in Asia
2. I look at the picture carefully
3. special features - people, clothing, environments, plants (vegetation)
4. check the hints

...the last step is easy

btw: I travel a lot around the world
and know a little bit the "specifics"
of many countries.

Yes, it is a very nice area.

the matriarchal culture is not sooo good for men...

correct.
Your turn Alpina


In Greek mythologhy, Delphi was the site of the Delphi oracle, the most important oracle in the
classical Greek world, and a mayor site for the worship of the god Apollo after he slew Python,
a deity who lived there and protected the naval of the Earth.

Apollo's sacred precinct in Delphi was a panhellenic sanctuary, where every four years, starting
in 586 BC athletes from all over the Greek world competed in the Pythian Games, one of the
four panhellenic games, precursors of the Modern Olympics.

It's been 2 days since Alpina's MIA. Guess we should keep the ball rolling with Poisedon posting a new pic?

Maybe Poseidon should set a rule to make sure the poster or winner to reply within a specific duration. If no reply within that duration, Poisedon has the right to post a new photo to keep the game rolling.
