I am into classical Chinese literature, especially that from the Tang dynasty (618-907). This directory has a few nice articles (in Chinese) that I have collected in the last few years, plus a few more that I wrote to share with some friends for fun. No flame please!
My favorite Tibetan and Tibet-related songs on MTV.
