定边县图片Dingbian County Pictures
-
The landmark 鼓楼Drum Tower of Dingbian county.
-
Dingbian's 鼓楼Drum Tower sits on the less developed southern part of the town where the thick mud walls divided the streets. Many locals wandered in the area, like this man taking a cigarette break.
-
The imposing 牌坊Memorial Arch or Gateway of Dingbian county. An attractive area for two women vendors selling fruits.
-
The grand archway spans one of the thoroughfares of Dingbian town.
-
One of the small old streets near the 鼓楼Drum Tower.
-
Dingbian's ladies on the move in latest fashion.
-
Children cooling off in the shade. Dingbian is in the 黄土高原Ordos region, right on the edge of the 戈壁 (大漠)Gobi Desert, so the town is hot and dry.
-
A girl in one of the sparse streets beside the mud walls.
-
A small alley between the thick mud walls of Dingbian county. A few hostels were dug into the walls. I should have checked out the rooms.
-
A family walking down this quiet and desolate street. The whole town is synonymous with wall.
-
The giant mud walls are here sliced to make way for houses.
-
Another lonely street beside the mighty mud walls.
-
The streets are not much better than the nearby deserts.
-
The usable mud walls are usually layered with mud bricks.
-
One of the main streets in the downtown area.
-
Believe it or not: this dugged-out channel was once a giant mud wall. While I was there, I witnessed a few of these great walls, that had defined the town for centuries, in the process of being flattened.
-
Downtown Dingbian. A few houses in the walled area. One of which is a pork shop.
-
A section of a giant mud wall remains like a hideous monster that needs to be cover.
-
The northern border of Dingbian.
-
Grazing lamps in the northwest town's desert-like area. Not far from here I came across a few gravestones.
-
In the past, the great wall must have extended into the town. Here you see the sand and wind blasted wall trying to keep an appearance for another decade.
