This is only a guess, after all, this is a "photo-guessing competition" : )

I think this photo is of the Gansu Provincial Museum located in the city of
Lanzhou in Gansu Province.

Dear all,

The first member who give the CORRECT NAME of the photo is FAERIEQUEENE! However, she didn't give us the URL of article in our website. Since this is the first photo in our competition, we decided to award FAERIEQUEENE and ELLYSE who give us the RIGHT ANSWER.

Please look at our Photo Guessing Competition rules carefully in http://community.travelchinaguide.com/forum2.asp?i=38856 before guessing!! Next time, we will only award the one who give us the RIGHT ANSWER.

Congratulations to FAERIEQUEENE and ELLYSE!

Sincerely,
Christine

Cogratulations to FAERIEQUEENE and ELLYSE!

I have never been to Xi'an, but wouldn't have thought that Xi'an was considered "western" China. Anyhow, I am planning to go up there this next winter to buy some unique cut-paper art pieces.

:) thank you.

yes should not miss the paper cuts made by the peasants of Northern Shaanxi, their colourful (though only in red) rustic motifs are different to those of other regions of china
