Pingyao 2010

Pingyao is an historic "Old Town" located in Shanxi province in Northern China. It's in coal mining country, and is unfortunately subject to smog, but it's fairly untouched by modern development and well worth a look.

Surely one of northern China's untouched gems, beautifully captured here

I have really enjoyed this gallery. A fascinating look at an older and more traditional China. Brilliant photos.
