For photos of beautiful, still-inhabited locales! It can be a quick snapshot of your local town, a breathtaking pro photo of a city, or a pic of some fascinating piece of modern life.
The only real rule is that it must be an actively inhabited/used location (ie not ruins or natural locales). Otherwise, go wild. Anything that you find beautiful or interesting!
Those round houses people are asking about are traditional homes of the Hakka people. IRC they are made that way to be highly defensible. No buff on Chinese history, but they're ethnic Han Chinese living in the mountains of South of China, and I think there was some animosity.
Oh huh, like a miniature walled city. Interesting.
I'm reading Neal Stephenson's REAMDE, I just got to the part where they're talking about tulous in Fujian, and this post pops up. Weird coincidence.
Just ignore this. It's not time to wake up from the simulation yet.
Why is everything glowing like I’m on mushrooms? Weird photo compression artifacts here.
Sounds like the shrooms haven’t worn off yet
I guess I shoulda done more drugs 20 years ago.
What are those round buildings?
I think they are multi units apartment style buildings.
I saw that in the Mulan live action remake.
