This image is actually in Ya'an, but we've seen this often in Chengdu. The cart seems to carrying general merchandise, a lot of it plastic. |

We followed this man for about a quarter of a mile before passing him. He asked me, with a gesture, if I wanted to buy a peach, but I declined. His fruit, like that of most of the fruit vendors in the city, was as perfect as it looks in the photo. |

This was taken from the top of a double decker bus during evening rush hour during our recent heat wave. I imagine that this woman stopped on the way home from work to buy an air conditioner. |

This man must be carrying 100 lbs. of potatoes. By his clothing he looks like he walked in from the country, which would be at least ten miles. |

There are people going through the garbage everywhere. There is no official recycling, but you see a lot of recyclables being transported like this. |

This is one giant arrangement of cut flowers. |

This picture was taken at a mountain temple just outside Chengdu. The man was taking a short break by resting his load on his walking sticking. The stick is built to serve both functions. If you look carefully at the bottom bag, you can see that it says "50kg". This old man was carrying 220 lbs. of dry cement two miles up a steep mountain. |

Either the window shop doesn't deliver, or this man delivers windows for the window shop. |
