Fascinating little vehicle. Thanks for the pics.

The structure by Anji looks very new but the outside is gathering enough stuff to block the view.

This is a small factory, dorm rooms on the left, offices on the right.
The cook is the one with her eye being tended.
Behind the offices they have a beautifully tended, vegetable garden.
About an acre...

I'm not sure I would want to go 15mph in that truck.

Easy-to-work-on truck!

References to 'Anji' and 'valve project'? Did I miss a post?

That's what I was referring to.

Guess the 'valve project' refers to the pipes in the foreground. Anji?

The Orient really is inscrutable. . .

Anji, is the location.
So is Shandong.
then comes the caption to give it context, so yes, the valves is a reference to the plumbing mess in the foreground.

Anji county is extremely prosperous hilly area in Zhejiang province, filled with bamboo forests and known for its white tea. Incongrously, in many areas it reminds me of Switzerland....
