China’s Ancient Capital
The Yongning Gate in Xi’an was the main access point to the
ancient walled city, dating back to the 14th Century. Here a
procession of women participate in a greeting ceremony to
welcome an important guest. Traditions like these are handed
down from generation to generation.
