I may never go there but at least I know people who have. The photos and stories from my husband and daughter paint a detailed picture of the scene in China. It is an outsider's view, but it is more than I would have seen in the news or in National Geographic.
I showed some photos related to design in a previous post. Today, I am going to show some of the photos of people. Some of them are of the Chinese in everyday life. Some are the tourists, American and others.

Teaching the tourists Tai Chi.

Buddhist monks being tourists.
Just below, the ultimate eco, recycling man!
A woman separating silk threads from cocoons.
Typical, urban kids, could be anywhere in the world.
A stylish couple out for a stroll, maybe doing some shopping.
A group of Japanese tourists.
The one just below shows how some of the young men are into styling their hair!
Next is a group of Chinese women belly dancing. I guess this craze is not just for young, hippie women.
Of course, we need an adorable baby photo.
American student tourists taking their photos in a mirrored ceiling.
Chinese girl students at an international language school.
I love the way there is such a feeling of universal humanity in all these pictures. The cultures, governments, and languages may be different, but inside the spirit, and the human connection is the same.
