Travel around the streets in Shanxi Province,China 走过山西的街头

in #photography7 years ago

Hi steemian friends ,

Shanxi province is a place with a long history.My friend and I just passed by somedays ago.Here I'm gonna show you some pictures about the old streets there .
山西有的是或壮丽或自然的美景,不过,走在山西的街头,斜阳草树寻常巷陌,感受感受山西那种传统底蕴渗透出的生活气息,也能让人心底生出宁静与祥和,po几张街头风情照吧。

    Traditional snacks,drinks,and different kinds of handicrafts will be seen on either side of the street.这条街两边都是摆摊的,卖的多是些比较传统的手工艺品,其实不同地方的老街也大都差不多这样。

  • Paper-cut

    This is called paper-cut,a kind of very traditional folk art.By sculpting different images(uraly figures and animals) very carfully on papers,people want the paper-cut to bring good luck,and it's a good choice to buy one as a souvenir.这些装裱起来的民间剪纸作品还是很漂亮的。

  • Teapot

    These're little teapots with carved designs and paints on them,they're other kinds of traditional folk arts.刻上了花的小茶壶,看上去也很漂亮。

  • A huge vat

    Aha,here's a huge vat,it maybe used to save rain for some other uses I gess.And the bulding here retains its traditional style just like what reflects in the water,and you can see a red-Chinese-lantern there.小时候一下雨,家人就找个盆子去房檐下接雨水,回头用来浇花啊、洗地啊什么的,我估计这个大缸八成也是用来干这个的。这边的建筑风格嘛,大概就是水中倒影的那半个楼的样子。这么拍就是为了一举两得哈哈。

  • A friend in screen

Ok,that's all for today,I'll end up this part with a photo shows the hurried pedestrians,hope you will enjoy,good luck and see you then~

beautiful ... can you please tell me @dov how far it is from Jinan and Yiwu...??

Let me help you find it on a map...It's about 1000 km in rough estimate from Jinan to Yiwu,and the exact distance is related to the route you choose.By the way,It'll take you around 6 hours If you take a high-speed train.

wow. It's so "nice" of you to go to Shanxi and didn't tell me. And you always told me that you are not interested in traveling:) Maybe you have another gf and you didn't tell me, right?
