New Oasis For Life-the Second Home of Lifechanyuan (the 4th Branch)
Lincang,
China
 The 4th branch of New Oasis For Life-the Second Home of Lifechanyuan is located in a town near Lincang, Yunnan China, covering a big area of about 600 acres. It was almost a wasteland with several old wooden houses before we started the building there from Aug 2011. It was a huge construction task for chanyuan celestials and by the design and lead of our guide Xuefeng, all chanyuan celestials worked hard for the construction and finished the unimaginable work in 10 months. We built 47 single houses with bathroom inside, a performance hall and a bright spacious canteen which can offer 200 people for dinner, two scenic pond and planted many new trees and colorful flowers there. This is a miracle created by chanyuan celestials, they worked hardly day and night in the past 1 year, it's their unselfish devotion that make this beautiful gardenia home into reality. Now there are about 70 people living here including some old aged people and 11 children.
Living in the 4th branch will truly experience what is the life of heaven, will realize the most beautiful dream of human beings here in the coming future.
