Over the years, we’ve covered a lot of interesting stuff from China. We covered stories about fake graveyards, towns designed to look like London and Paris, huge ghost cities, massive statues and so-called hell money.

Today, I thought I would have a browse through some photos taken in the most populated country on earth (1.3 billion and counting), and see if I could glean some amusing insight. And, I think I did, even if I do say so myself.

So, although there’s no particular point to all of this, I hope you achieve a slightly richer take on Chinese popular culture.

The next four photos were all taken by the same traveller who was impressed with the crop-top chic of overheated Chinese males:

This guy had 31 fingers and toes. It’s not a Photoshop job. Apparenrly they had the extraneous digits removed surgically:
