The photographs are from around Hangzhou.
This is a sidewalk/footpath. The red tiles are for the blind.
The tiles with long raised cleats tell the blind person to keep walking forwards.
The raised dots tell them a turn in imenant.
These tiles have been moved, so the dots and cleats are meaningless.
I've seen a blind person walking along the road rather than follow these tiles.

The below line...
reads...
I think it is meant to read, "Wait behind the line".

A carpenter installs new shop fittings.
He uses the footpath as his workshop.
People walk around him.

The bench marker in the above photograph reads below. KFC can't write English.

I don't know how the blind navigate this.
The cardboard is changed regularly - every couple of days
whether or not they need to do so.

These are first-year university students.
They are required to do a few weeks 'military service'.
This involves being told to site or stand in the sun for long
periods of time, and, leaning to goose-step!
They are really taught how to goose-step!!!

I used eat in this restaurant - until I saw an EXTREMELY LARGE rat running through the dinning room.
Making rice dough in the street.
No rats in this kitchen.
The dough. He wipes his hands clean on his dirty trousers.
