Although Danfeng is officially classified as a poor part of rural China, not everything in the town is basic or falling apart. There are plenty of small, expensive looking shops where the owners take great pride in keeping them sparkling and pretty like this Chinese version of Boots.
There are also much poorer looking areas, where the shops are simply goods placed on the ground outside the people's houses, like this pots and pans shop.
And again, there are many people with no shop at all but simply a cart they wheel into town every morning and home again each night - and most of the vegetable carts have great looking vegetables!
Shopping (or window shopping) is the main activity for people round here but I prefer to walk down by the river which is much more peaceful and the colours of the mountains in the early evening are beautiful.
And finally, as promised, me in my new red coat - though unfortunately most of the snow had gone by the time I got round to taking a pic!
That shop sells some of the most massive woks in the world!
