    Photos from China

    There are [5] photos from China

    Meet Wu Ming. She weaves reeds and flowers together to create bracelets in which she sells for ¥10 (AUD$1.80). This is her only form of income however when I spoke to her she stated that she was content with her life and the only thing she would ask for was a bigger basket. Views[178] The Bund is one of Shanghai's most recognisable areas. On the west bank of the Huangpu River, a long stretch of flood retaining wall was built. Along the length of this wall flowers were planted into the wall which has now been aptly named Chinese prayers and phrases hang from every vantage point possible, even from branches of low lying trees. Views[205] This temple in Shanghai is constantly having maintenance carried out to ensure that future generations are able to still frequent this place of worship. Views[298] In a city which has seen a meteoric rise in economy and infrastructure, Shanghai is a mix of the old and the new as can be seen in this photo. People flock to the inner city temples on a daily basis to give thanks and pray as skyscrapers are built around the temple perimeter. Views[170]
