He
Jie Town has a long history and its existence can be dated back to
BC111. With a total population of about sixty thousand (60,000) in 2000,
it is a small town in the eastern part of Guangxi Province, PRC.
Putonghua, Cantonese and Hakka language are generally spoken in He Jie Town.

On
the way back to Guangdong Province, we pass by this small town. This is
the stone bridge, over a small river, connecting two parts of this
small town. Garlic plants are delivered by this manual cart. It is
needed to take a photo immediately.

This is the truck road in He Jie Town, similar to Nathan Road in
Kowloon, Hong Kong. There is no famous chained fast food restaurant in
He Zhou, resulting that the original appearance of He Zhou can be
preserved.

Motor cycles are common.

Fruits are displayed orderly in these stalls.

Fried Tofu is displayed in an open area. But it does not give me a very dirty feeling as the air is not dusty in winter.

In the opposite side, it is the stall displayed steamed chickens and
fried ducks. It is quite strange that packed foods are sold at the same
time. Please note that there is no cover to protect those animals.

Pork is displayed and sold in such a way in an open area. It is now
late in the afternoon and his business is quite good. He is nice too.

Apart from the small food market, He Jie Town is also a small place to preserve old buildings.

This part is mainly residential area. They live in this ancient small town leisurely.

They have not blocked our photo-taking behaviour.

It should be a shop in the past. The most impressive parts to me are
the big poster, its old and shabbiness. This is the life of He Zhou
citizens.

An old lady is consulting the Chinese herbalist in a pharmacy.

Balances are displayed in such a way. It is a stall selling and displaying balances only.

It is a stall to repair shoes.

This
is a Peanut Oil Manufacturing Plant. It is the first time for us to
visit such a big plant. We can sense the nice and pleasant smell of
peanut. The technician is pressing a metal hammer onto shattered peanut
(covered by white cloth in front of him).
