The autumn scenery of Hemu Village in Kanas, Xinjiang, was taken in September. This is one of the most beautiful villages in northern Xinjiang, where the local Tuva people live in a concentrated area. The pointed-roof wooden houses built of logs are neatly arranged on a large open space in the dense forest, which is very harmonious with the surrounding natural landscape. Hemu Village is not only beautiful in autumn, but also has different styles in spring, summer and winter.

Dalian Lushun Old Town, where the complete memory of the Republic of China is preserved Liaoning Dalian Lushun is really surprising. I didn't expect that the old town has preserved so many Soviet-style buildings from the late Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China and the 1950s. There are not many residents in the old town, which seems to be deserted. Many old houses are uninhabited, and the walls are mottled, which shows the vicissitudes of history.
