PHOTOS : China

Photo Guide to China - Lugu Lake

By John Torrente, Posted Aug 10, 2008

  

Zuosuo is the northern shore of Lugu Lake. Less developed than its southern counterpart, it's in the midst of massive construction. New shops. New restaurants. A new village square. Diesel gas fumes waft in the air as construction vehicles blast up the single main road. Luckily the children, indifferent and unaware, find happiness and curiosity through the mere essence of being.
