		<title>Some old slogans</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Couple old slogans from the countryside.

		<title>Shan Zhen</title>

In some places they serve another kind of mountain treasure with the hotpot: Tibetan snow lotus tea, a traditional chinese medicine which grows only at the altitude of over 3800m.
