[00:02:18]Normally cars are usually parked at the village entrance and there is usually a public parking lot available.

[00:02:34]I'm going through this village. The road is quite narrow. Residential buildings and houses stand both sides of the road.

[00:02:45]It's really peaceful. I only saw an elderly man walking along the road. I guess it might be his house or maybe his sons.

[00:02:58]In this village, every house has its own yard. Some are big while others are small. Every yard is fitted with a large argate as security door.

[00:03:13]Residents love growing vegetables and fruit outside their gate or beneath their window.

[00:04:09]I'm so enviable this huge private yard.

[00:04:20]Each villager has a public square with excise equipment. However, local people often hang quits out to dry here. But I don't understand why.

[00:04:48]The elderly man is probably the owner of the horse. He's sitting here enjoy the sunshine. He seems to be alone.
