CHINA-SHANXI-DAYANG ANCIENT TOWN (CN)

Residents chat as they sit in front of a gate in Dayang Town of Zezhou County, north China's Shanxi Province, Sept. 24, 2015. Dayang Ancient Town, which has a history of more than 2,000 years, was well-known for its needle-making industry during the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911). With the decline of handmade needle industry, the prosperity of the ancient town also faded away. A quantity of Ming and Qing architectures in the town, however, were well preserved. Dayang Town is now regarded as a living fossil of Chinese old towns. (Xinhua/Yan Yan)
