China -Pingyao's walls by night




Nov 2011

Pingyao's old city is aproximately a 2 km large square. The two first pictures are shot at the south exit. The two last ones at the north exit. Shanxi is famous in China for producing coal, and many people, including some hotels, use it to heat their homes. It can easily be seen on the last picture where I used the flash. Then, no wonder why the air is so smelly sometimes and why the throat remains a bit aching and why we cough more than usual.
La vieille ville de Pingyao est approximativement un carré de 2 km de coté. les deux premières photos ont été prises à la sortie sud. Les deux dernières à la sortie nord. La province de Shanxi est célèbre en Chine pour sa production de Charbon. De nombreuses personnes ainsi que quelques hotels s'en servent pour se chauffer. cela peut aisément se voir sur al dernière photo ou j'ai utilié le flash. A partir de là, il n'y a plus besoin de se demander pourquoi l'air est parfois si nauséabond, la gorge est irritée et la toux vient facilement.
