And now a decidedly less martial side of China, the uber-picturesque Hong Village near Mt. Huangshan, built in the Ming dynasty (15th century). Although people still occupy parts of it, it is now mostly a tourist draw and was the shooting location for much of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Essentially all of the people in this picture are Chinese art students, who descend on this area in hordes, wielding sketchbooks and other implements of destruction.
Nice self-referential post! A link to one of your own pictures -- ingenious! Just trying to artificially inflate your visit tally, eh?
