Ok, so I'm not even sure what the building shown below is. I do believe it is a hotel, but with the walls and gate like they are..who can be certain? Actually, I did notice however that in China, gates, arches and doorways can get pretty freakin' elaborate.
(Below) Not entirely sure what the purpose of this massive black obelisk is, but I had to photograph it.
(Below) A juxtaposition of modern-day china and the old-world architecture that lies scattered among skyscrapers and office towers. The sidewalk in this photo actually looks like it's on a bit of a slope, but i'm positive that was just a combination of lens distortion and bus-speed. ;)
