This video apparently came from 80s of 20 century, now in 21 century it is diffrent completely.

@gongkeyi007 Thank you very much for your unintentional flattery. Actually, every image in this video was photographed between 2004-2007. Certainly many of these villages (including 1,700 year-old Gongtan in Chongqing) have been bulldozed in recent years during China's new hyper-modernization campaign, but, for the most part, this video is entirely representative of China even in the 21st century. You just have to know where to look :) Thank you and everyone else for your support of my art!

I think the curved roofs of traditonal chinese buldings are beautiful, sometimes with gargoyles in the form of a dragon on the corners...

@buluby You are 100% correct my friend. Even though I'm not Chinese(I'm Hispanic) I've great admiration for traditional Chinese architecture. The craftsmanship is superb and in some cases more sophisticated than those high rises. I feel sorry for that @Kaokli. He's probably a good person but he's simply ignorant about these things. In this world there are people who likes antiques and there are those that don't. Btw, those shiny modern buildings still uses some traditional principles.

@heomak The official language in China is Mandarin, so all the provinces in China have an official Mandarin name, makes sense does it? Tibet was part of Nationalist China, and that's before the PRC was created, ever tried to include this in your 'truth'?
