Local markets, grocery shopping, rent, haircuts, commuting, restaurants, village life, prices, or ordinary streets?
You ask. I’ll go film it.
I can’t upload the video here, unfortunately.

A few people were asking about Chinese construction trucks in my previous post, so I took some photos at the yard today.
This is just one part of the parking area where I work. It’s basically rows and rows of construction dump trucks.
I see trucks like these almost every day, so I sometimes forget how unusual this might look to someone outside China.
If there’s anything specific you want me to photograph next — the cab, engine, interior, different truck models, prices, or even what a typical truck yard looks like here — just ask. I can take photos when I’m at work.
I work around a huge truck yard in China, with tens of thousands of construction dump trucks and other heavy trucks.

Local markets?
Villages?
Small towns?
Farms?
Factories?
Construction sites?
Ordinary neighborhoods?
Truck stops?
Or something completely different?
I live in rural China and ride my motorcycle about 20 km to work almost every day, so I pass through a lot of places that aren't really tourist destinations.
If you could get off the normal tourist route for one day, what would you want to see?
I grew up in rural China and still live in a rural area.
I ride my motorcycle about 20 km to work almost every day, so I spend a lot of time passing through villages, small towns and farmland.
Recently, I started wondering how different the image of rural China is from the reality.
There are things I see every day that I never really thought were unusual:
For those of you who have never lived in rural China:
What do you think rural China is like, and what are you most curious about?
