"Do you know the world ?" -- Competition --

Some place in China ? Not easy to recognize the city :)

 

China: Yes.  I'm looking for a specific city . 

 

Not easily recognizable, yes , could be seemingly anywhere .. but I picked this photo precisely it was taken at the most likely, most probable location for this particular photo to have been taken ..

Guangzhou ?

 

Ok , yes, I'll take Guangzhou although technically we are at Xintang, "the denim capital of the world", about 50 minutes away. 

 

Xintang produces 2/3rds of all blue jeans manufactured in the world (that's over 260 million pairs of jeans per year).  The entire area is now an industrial wasteland, with factories dumping their toxic waste (dyes mostly) into the many tributaries of the legendary Pearl river.   Look it up on Google and you'll come up with plenty of articles describing the economic and environmental situation (such as this one: http://www.greenpeace.org/eastasia/news/stories/toxics/2010/textile-pollution-xintang-gurao/  ) .  So it seems fitting to post this as the climate conference is underway. 

 

You're next.

This place can get cold, but not that cold.
