Another view of the city center area in Xian - a real mix of old and new, including people plying their trade with these old carts. China, 2008.
A troop of soldiers undergoing an exercise (for show?) in the ground of the Forbidden Palace in Beijing, China. They certainly put on a spirited performance with some suitably aggressive instructions from their CO. 2008.
An unusual feature of this Forbidden Palace image is that almost completed lack of tourists in the frame. A rather unusual privilege for me, given the throngs of people that worked their way around this magnificent sight in Beijing. China, 2008.
