Experiencing brown China


Hakka earth buildings (tulou), originally uploaded by fangie2000.

My Singaporean friend, who became a farmer in rural China termed the countryside "brown China". It's definitely not the typical postcard pretty Chinese gardens, pagodas, temples and palaces. But it is a realistic snapshot of middle China, the lives of the average peasant working in the fields and living in villages.
