Chinese Stone compound homes:

   It's tough to get a picture of some of these homes as there clustered and small.   The picture below looks into the courtyard of a stone compound.  The lady is in the main courtyard and just finished doing her laundry in the metal pan.  The two buildings attached to the compound are probably for pigs and chickens.   The pictures below this one is a pan across the roofs of another compound from right to left.  Note the two sitting areas in the pan shots, their very unusual but nice.
