Butcher in the market

Image
This is the butcher in the market. Here, you can pick the portion of meat you want; butcher will cut, trim and prepare the meat at your will. It is so flexible and convenience.

Metal Work

Image
A worker is working on the iron/steel bar, which will be used in building construction, on the street side.

Apartment

Image
This is an old apartment building. Every household hangs clothes out on the balcony. It becomes an interesting scenery, I guess...

Chinese Graffiti?

Image
This photo was taken in the hallway of a flat. There are advertising about plumbing.

Grocery Shopping

Image
These photos were taken from one of the popular grocery shop in HeFei.

Temple in Downtown HeFei

Image
This is a popular temple in the downtown of HeFei. People comes here to pray for health and wealth of them or their family.

Breakfast

Image
This is a small alley where workers have their breakfast before going to work. Various food are sold including soy milk, Chinese donut, pancake, sweet and sour soup, etc. They are extremely cheap, usually around Y$1.00 only.

McDonald's

Image
In China, McDonald's is not just a simple fast food store. It is classified as a luxury restaurant because of its price. With the average income of $1000 yen per month, a burger can cost $20 yen here. Comparing to a local burger chain, a burger can be as cheap as $3 yen.

What the heck is this?

Image
What the heck is this? These are pork and sausages that a restaurant serves. What to give a try! (Recommend purchasing life insurance first.)

Zero-star Hotel???

Image
Little Tiger Hotel. I estimate staying on night in this hotel may cost around AUD $2. Yes, two dollars! (If you survive the night, of course.)

Interesting Roadside Tree

Image
This is an interesting scene. I have no clue who planed to plant these roadside trees. The branches are so low that no car can go under them; the four-lane street becomes two-lane street. A pity and careless driver may have the car roof cut off if driving through it.
