Pictures of Zhuzhou


"Near my house there is a thin dirt road running between huge fish ponds on one side and small piles of garbage/houses/fish ponds/bottle sorting plants on the other side. They recently rebuilt the canal along this path, which covered the narrow road with a foot of mud that never dried for a few months. That made it tough for all the bike/motorcycle porters who go back and forth on it."
