Sichuan in western China,
is so big that it’s got its own artificial sun.
Indeed, at 500 meters (1,640 feet) long,
400 meters (1,310 feet) wide and
100 meters (325 feet) high,
it’s massive enough to hold 20 Sydney Opera Houses

Just passing by.
But at least I saw parts of it.
From the highway.

They hang their clothes outside
even in the big cities.
On balconies, or just outside the window.
