New Life into Potala Lake‏







A day after meeting the Reincarnation Kid (转世灵童), we rescued three turtles from a local fish market for release into lake next to Potala Palace. Our mission attracted many curious eyes, from kids to adults, from visitors to park rangers. They were all duly supportive and entertained.

The smallest turtle was released into a small pond by Jane and Haitao. The two bigger turtles were released into an adjoining deeper lake, with help from 3 local Tibetan kids, who promised to return each week to check up the turtles.
