[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This picture is taken in Pingyao at the side of the street... He must have earned enough. Very often in China they just sleep in their shop and you have to wake them up if you want to buy something. Still nobody is stealing ;)

Pingyao is situated in Shanxi not so far away from Beijing, on the way from Xi'an to Beijing. It started to florish in the Ming dynasty but it is much older. There are houses of traders and the first banks in China are situated here.
The city is surrounded by city walls and is probably the only remaining old city in China.
Since 1997 the city is one of the World Relics from the UNESCO.
It is worth a visit!!!

A lovely, yet uncritiqued shot. Sometimes I wonder... Anyway, I hope you're still around, David. Enjoy China!
