    Buddhist sculptures on the mountains with A LOT of tourists! These sculptures were built about 1000 years ago but many of them were destroyed when an emperor during the Tang Dynasty ordered them to be destroyed to revive the Taoist religion in China. These sculptures are preserved quite well to the ones I've seen inside the cave. The sculptures are much larger when seen in person but you can still appreciate the beauty in them.: by explorermf, Views[515]
         		 Suzhou, China - It was extremely sunny and HOT. When I captured this photo of the famous canal in Suzhou, a boat with tourists were just passing by and yes, they waved hello! : by explorermf, Views[518]
         		 Taken in Hangzhou - there's a Chinese saying,
         		 There are 55 ethnic minorities in China - in this photo are the Tujia Peoples from Hunan province of China. In this photo, this man is performing a juggling act with real blades. Tujia Peoples are most famous for their singing - if they are unable to sing, they'll never find a spouse! : by explorermf, Views[368]
         		 A wishing tree in the Land of Avatar. The person making a wish will write their wish(es) on the red ribbon, close their eyes and recite it in their heads before tying the ribbon unto a branch. Many people in China believe that the higher up on the branch the ribbon is the better. : by explorermf, Views[1666]

         		 Another shot in the village of Ping'an, overlooking the famous Rice Terraces. A woman carrying her baby on her back enjoys the beautiful changing Fall colored Rice Terraces before continuing up the mountain side. As many times as I'm sure she has seen this exact view, she still stops to appreciate the amazing sight.: by emilyjane, Views[138]
         		 Taken in the city of Huangshan, I found several groups of men seated at a river fishing in the middle of the busy city center. Streets, tall buildings, and bridge all aglow, this man fishes under the evening sky by himself. Whether for pay or pure sport, he fishes alone in solitude rather than with a group. Unlike many men who fish and smoke together as a social activity, he fishes unaccompanied.: by emilyjane, Views[163]
         		 Although I am living in China, I don't know a lick of Chinese (okay, enough to get me my occational but all too often McDonald's Big Mac). One night, while walking the streets of our hometown, Bengbu, I attempted to purchase a Chinese cookie. After many a game of charades, people from all down the street had gathered to watch the crazy American try to buy herself a cookie. My fine skills got me a cookie, eventually. But only after I had made a fool of myself in my ignorance. Luckily, the Chinese have a good sense of humor and warm hearts.: by emilyjane, Views[153]
         		 This is Tim, one of the students I teach currently. We have a rule that the kids can recieve strikes (a bad 'X' mark next to their name on a paper) if they are naughty. Once they have three strikes, they loose store (getting to pick out a prize) at the end of the day. Tim was acting up and spitting on another student while I was taking profile picures of all the students. Finally, when I could not stand his monstrosity any longer, I gave him his first strike, and of course, the crocodile tears came rolling. He was still crying about his one strike five minutes later when it was his turn to get his picture taken. Regardless of how miserable he could stretch that face, that strike still stuck.: by emilyjane, Views[192]
     
    While visiting the small village of Ping'an, this woman drove a hard bargain with me. If I bought a pack of postcards from her for 40 yuan, I would be permitted to snap a shot of her. I was willing on account of the previous people I tried to take photos of shrugging me off. This photo portrays her years of tactic development at mastering the

         		 This photo was taken in the neighbouring village where celebrations were fully underway. I love how the smoke from the barbeque stall and the light from the many torches hit the faces of these musicians as they danced through the crowd. : by natasha_davies, Views[158]
         		 This shot was taken as we were walking to another village. At first glance it looked like a riot! But instead it was a procession of all ages with their torches walking towards the village bonfire. An incredible scene!: by natasha_davies, Views[172]
         		 As the evening grew darker, the villagers began to light their own torches for the celebration. throwing pine dust at them to ignite the flames.: by natasha_davies, Views[222]
     
    Not everybody enjoyed the music! I loved how this little boy stood right in front of the band mesmerised, but clearly finding the sound too much. A complete contrast to his elders! : by natasha_davies, Views[185]
         		 Locals gathered late afternoon to watch the traditional band whilst the giant village torch was being prepped for burning. : by natasha_davies, Views[155]
         		 Nowadays, many shepherds on prairie make money by providing horses for tourists to ride. The man in picture looks bored, as there are few tourists riding his horse at noon.: by nemoonearth, Views[221]
         		 Today, the grassland has been severely degraded, it is difficult to see wind-swept pastures and the cattle and sheep emerge from the grass.: by nemoonearth, Views[216]
         		 My sister in a traditional Shanxi house which is in a Inner Mongolia museum, She was born in Inner Mongolia, but her ancestors lived in Shanxi province. Since the Ming Dynasty, a lot of Shanxi people fled from famine to Inner Mongolia. Historically, this is called
