These bright and amazing pictures describe ordinary life of Chinese children. Well, maybe it’s not that ordinary, as kids in this Asian country have an interesting childhood.

These photos show a 6-year-old Chinese boy who was born with 16 toes and 15 fingers. He will soon undergo surgery to have the extras digits removed. The boy has a total of 31 toes and fingers and has beaten the previous record of 25. The excessive number of toes and fingers is the result of gene mutation.

Inside this post you can find photos of extreme drought that hit China in the end of March. The ponds are dried-up. People have to stay in long lines to get water, and there are many other problems that the country is facing today.

Chinese people can even feel dust in the air. It’s difficult to breeze, so tourists and local citizens go out hiding their faces in scarves. Dust storms are seasonal phenomenon in Asia, and right now China is covered with “sand powder”. At the same time this orange dust makes photos exclusive, even close to retro style. I bet photographers have much work to do on open air :)

Obesity is a big problem that bothers people all over the world. According to different reports, about 38% of European children will be overweight, 20% of Chinese kids will have extra pounds and 50% of American children will be obese in 2010.
Afraid of such prognosis, China decided to fight with obesity in unique way. Besides many fitness studios parents can now send their overweight children to special diet camps where kids are trained by former militaries.
Official statistics says that if obesity could disappear on its own way, people would live 5-10 years longer.

Another disgusting thing that was in a food product in China… again.
I don’t wanna be mean but it seems they really have problems with product packaging. You can always find a surprise there.

This grandma is called Zhang Ruifang and she lives in Henan province, China.
The interesting thing is that she is already 100 years old.
A horn started to grow on Zhang Ruyfang forhead last year and now it reached the length of about 6 centimeters..

China, big country, a lot of trash. So here how some people transport their trash in order to get rid of it or recycle it. In order to do it, you must be physically fit but it is also a good exercise

You often see pictures from China on our site.
Why do we post them? Well, because lots of stuff that is going on in this Asian country, you won’t see anywhere else. The Chinese culture can be incomprehensible for us, weird and maybe something we can see as stupid, but hey, it’s their culture and there’s nothing you can do about it.
Today we have another story which is categorized ‘Only in China’. If a child is lost in a large Chinese city, then in 99,9% of cases his parents will never see their child again. Now let’s see how very caring parents deal with this problem in an extraordinary way.
I will tell no more. See for yourself.

Yep, if you want to eat, you’re gonna do all you can...

China never ceases to surprise and unfortunately, not for the better.
Not only their work is hellishly difficult at a construction site, but there are other problems… See below.

Frankly, I am plagued by doubts. Maybe it's some kind of protection against theft of personal belongings?
Or maybe it is the way the Chinese students craving for knowledge use to book their place in the library?
Do you have any suggestions on this one? ;)

This interesting and rather unusual residential complex was built in China.
The building consists of a set of blocks which are shifted by 2 meters horizontally. It was designed to gain additional space that was used for the construction of terraces.
As for me, it looks something like a LEGO building, only in real life.

Harbin, north-eastern China, is hosting its 26th international ice and snow sculpture festival.
This event is very unique and spectacular, especially during night with all the lights and colors.
Massive buildings have been carved from ice like palaces, pagodas… and even a sphinx!
Very amazing..

A 22-storey residential building had to be destroyed to make way for new real estate projects but due to technical reasons, the demolition failed. It happened on December 30 in Liuzhou, China.
The blast broke the building into two parts but only one collapsed while the other one remained standing… but leaning to one side!
More pics as well as one video await you inside the post.

Chinese roads are very dangerous. Recently, a truck driver carrying coal could fully notice it.
I think that in the near future, few will dare to take this road having a large load ))
And most importantly, that no one was hurt badly in this incident.

When you gotta go, you gotta go… ))

The incident occurred near one apartment building in China.
Under the collapsed ground were buried 8 parked cars, happily no one was inside.
Look inside the post.

These are the pictures from one Chinese bank, where they were made at night.
Well, it’s freezing out there, so it’s better to sleep there than outside...
–
Well, I won’t discuss their dressing code and painted faces, it is a personal matter of each person.
But there’s one thing I can’t understand, why they are so drawn to the graves, tombstones, and cemeteries in general. Not a good place to take pictures.
A total disrespect for the dead

Management of this Chinese Museum can sleep soundly, because with such a guard they have nothing to worry about.
And even if someone tries to steal something, it will never work out

Several days ago, two trains collided in Shanghai subway.
Of course, it suspended the subway train’s flow, which immediately caused chaos in the city.
All the people rushed to the bus stops, the only way to get on a bus was to fight your way through.
Here you have a vivid example of how one incident can easily paralyze the entire city.

This is one of the highest railways in the world. It connects Xining, Qinghai Province, to Lhasa, Tibet Autonomous Region, in China. The total length of Qingzang railway is 1956 km. Construction of the 815 km section between Xining and Golmud was completed by 1984.
This railway is the first to connect China proper with the Tibet Autonomous Region, which, due to its altitude and terrain, is the last province-level entity in mainland China to have a conventional railway.
More than 960 km, or over 80% of the Golmud-Lhasa section, is at an altitude of more than 4,000 m.
The 1,142-km Qinghai–Tibet railway from Golmud to Lhasa was completed on 12 October 2005. It opened to regular trial service on 1 July 2006.
The trains are specially built for high altitude environment. From October 2006 five pairs of passenger trains run between Golmud and Lhasa, and one more pair between Xining and Golmud. The line has a capacity of eight pairs of passenger trains, and the carriages are specially built and have an oxygen supply for each passenger.

These special Chinese eggs are black inside with a greenish tint and look as if they were found during the excavations of an ancient Chinese city.
That’s what thought foreigners first arrived in China, that it were simply stale eggs, and called them "Century eggs" (or hundred-year egg, thousand-year egg).
They are usually marinated in a special way for a few weeks or even months, which gives an unpleasant odor (the scent is similar to the smell of ammonia).
But they say that when the eggs are fully prepared, they are incredibly tasty.
Well, would anyone like to try this Chinese delicacy? Don’t hurry with your answer, look at the pictures first ))
