For photos of beautiful, still-inhabited locales! It can be a quick snapshot of your local town, a breathtaking pro photo of a city, or a pic of some fascinating piece of modern life.
The only real rule is that it must be an actively inhabited/used location (ie not ruins or natural locales). Otherwise, go wild. Anything that you find beautiful or interesting!

I'm reading Neal Stephenson's REAMDE, I just got to the part where they're talking about tulous in Fujian, and this post pops up. Weird coincidence.
Just ignore this. It's not time to wake up from the simulation yet.
it's beautiful but i don't know if i could live in a house that was too low
What are those round buildings?
I think they are multi units apartment style buildings.
I saw that in the Mulan live action remake.
Traditional homes of the Hakka people: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hakka_people
Seems like this more specifically for anyone wondering: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fujian_tulou?wprov=sfla1
Thanks for the link!
I second wanting to know what those round buildings are
Those round houses people are asking about are traditional homes of the Hakka people. IRC they are made that way to be highly defensible. No buff on Chinese history, but they're ethnic Han Chinese living in the mountains of South of China, and I think there was some animosity.
Oh huh, like a miniature walled city. Interesting.
