Amidst the stereotypical busy streets that most foreigners imagine when they think of China, some roadways are in fact quite stately. Here a family enjoys a Sunday together on a sliver of green space. Beyond them is a well organized street of lanes divided by medians; cars and trucks barrel down the middle lane, with bicycles and motorcycles on the two 'frontage roads,' and wide sidewalks on either side provide ample room to stroll. Try crossing the road on a weekday...good luck.
