images from factories






Here are a few interesting images from a few of the various factories we have visited. I have tons of process photos but do not think I can post here. These are shots of various inks, screen printing, molding, tooling dies, etc.

photos from the road






Here are a few photos from the past few days on the road. We have been primarily visiting factories. Fayer mentioned a building must have over 7 floors to get an elevator so we have done a bit of hiking up and down the stairs of these 6 floor factories.

Photo 1 - all the construction (including huge skyscapers) use bamboo scaffold. Here is an example. You can see workers in the shadows.

Photo 2 - we ate a very nice Hotel yesterday and got to choose our lunch from these tanks. It was impressive. I ate turbot.

Photo 3 & 4 - these are scenes of the sides streets around Shenzhen. Every building is different and draped with signs.

Photo 5 - after leaving one factory we drove past these guys sorting trash from a clothing factory. I am not quite sure why but I found it interesting.
