Street scenes

Here are some typical street scenes as observed from a tourist bus. Apparently small electric scooters are used widely in China for short distance travels. Bicycles are still very common. I did not see many private cars at all and did not see any traffic jams.

High rise condominiums are every where. They are the usual homes for the Chinese who work in the cities. Commuting to work is mainly by electric scooters and bicycles.

An old fashion house, main entrance.

This is the only modern detached house that I saw. It was near the tea plantation, yesterday.

I saw just one street hawker, trying to sell a type of flute made from gourd and bamboo.

According to our tour guide, tenement buildings, 6-storeys and under, do not require to have lifts installed in them. I do not see any cars parked outside these dwellings; but air conditioners seem to be very common here.
