China, Beijing - Part 2, courtyard doors

 Chinese doors are very photogenic.

This is the door of a courtyard. Look at the number of electrical counters above the door. How many family live behind that door?

Red is of course a favourite colour.

I love the way it feels like you are in the countryside when you are in the alleys but you really are in a huge city. The 2010 census counted 19.6 million people in Beijing compared to 13.8 in the 2000 census.
