Cramped...

Lijiang in Yunnan province in China has a history going back about 800 years. And as you can see by looking at the world heritage listed old town, overcrowding isn't a modern phenomenon at all. the city is very pedestrian friendly though since there simply is no room for any normal-sized traffic in the narrow streets.

 

You can also check out the China set.

 

You should watch this Large On Black since that brings out more details. My pictures aren't balanced for a white background and a lot of the finer details are lost in this small format. the large version is a sixth of the original - The medium size shown here even smaller...
