Visitors stroll inside the Ancient City of Danggar in Xining, China. A myriad of lanterns in vibrant colors hang over the main alley. On both sides of the throughway there are one story buildings built in the traditional Chinese style, with clay roof tiles, columns and latticed windows in red colors. The ground is covered with light-brown tiles. It's late afternoon and the sun hits only the right side of the alley.

Two Buddhist monks throw the used water from inside a temple in the Kumbum Champa Ling monastery in the Qinghai Province, China. The water thrown by the youngest monk appears frozen in mid air. Both monks are standing at the top of a flight of stairs, and wear the traditional Buddhist robes, in red color with saffron undergarments and shoes.

Quote-post @huubeggen.bsky.social: very central 👇 China.

At #Xining on the interactive map isspix.com/ISS072, there is an orange pin for Huub's post; it also has link to the downloadable 200-mm high-res by astronaut #DonPettit

The image shows a pattern of lines and grids of light in a kind of distorted cross in an otherwise mostly dark image. A few patches of light show up at right and upper left.
