Great pics! Visited some years ago, amazing city, too bad it was extremely grey all the time.

China is incredible, I must visit.

Having said that, what’s with the weird food? Snake? Come on, just seeing that stuff will spoil my appetite even if I don’t eat it.

What a great set. Thank you for sharing it. So much complexity in the world...
